So if the engine is not original but its numbers matching...not understanding this. Did they stamp the pad on a new motor with the vin?

I struggled with that statement too. I’ve understood that “numbers matching” engine meant the numbers on the block matched up with the corresponding numbers in the VIN, and synonymous with “born with”.

That's the whole problem I have with stating "Numbers Matching". Dealers and other sellers use the term to infer that it's actually "Born With".
