Nope. The only way to correlate VIN to engine size is to get a Certificate of Authenticity. Or the original sales info. Or see if the original stickers are in the engine bay.

Thanks. Seller is the original purchaser, I'll see what he has

I thought maybe all the 47292xxxx vins might be late '73 cars and have the larger motor

***Correction: 473292xxxx

That vin prefix is a 72
Which would be a 1.7
