Vette(s): '68 Black Conv. Matching 327/300 4 Spd. P/S, P/B, P/W, Tele, A/C

Here's the translation:

V1220CKX is a Flint Small Block (indicated by the V

Engine assembly date (1220) is next December 20 (I assume 1971)

The motor is a 350 ci  engine rated at 200 HP with an TH-400 automatic transmission & Rochester 4-Barrel carb (CKX).

The "12S511046" is a VIN stamping.  This VIN indicates a 1972 Corvette made in St. Louis made probably in late January 1972.

Good luck........Anthony

You can thank Joel (Adams Apple).  He pointed me towards some really good books on Vette #'s.
