That's not a VIN, it's the casting number of an engine block.

the question was..what year is the car engine. It was already in the car when I got it last year...or is there another # that would lock in the year., for the sake of plugs, filters, stuff that would relate to the exaust, and systems..thanks alot for your help., d

Donnie, Im no expert at reading engine blocks or part numbers, there are many books and websites that help,
BUT, i do know that the first letter is a "decade code"
C means 1960's
D means 1970's

So yours is a 1970s block.
Second number is the "year code"

so a D9 block is a 1979 engine block.

the other letters can be decoded but I dont know off the top of my head what they mean. 6015 is just a part number for that block.

hope this helps.
