Re: I just bought a neat little 68 Camaro
 

The difference in the vin#s is around 3000. The heads are dated K227(Nov 22, 67)and C218(Mar. 21, 68). I can't help but wonder if the wrong motor was put in at the factory. Are these close enough for that to be the case?
Redneck, my plans are to eventually restore the car, but not sure as to what level. I'm not going to change anything until I can get it authenticated with some kind of paperwork.

I had the twin to this car a few years back that was in vitually the exact same condition when found. I'll post pics if I can find them.

I've sent Tony a pic of the rearend code, looks like BU 0209G1 with E under it. Can't get a pic of the transmision codes (had to use a mirror and flashlight for the vin) but the build date is P8A12(Muncie,1968,Jan12) and the vin appears to be #'s matching, 28?xxxxxx.) https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

Try sticking Silly Putty on the tranny and carefully peel it off. Then you can take a pic of the Silly Putty and reverse it to get the numbers...

Learned that from a couple of ole dogs on the site https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

Here are a few pics I dug up of the car that was extremely similar to this one. #1

Thanks Jeff, modeling clay works to. Is it a good idea to post my VIN#'s on the internet? The clay method shows the stamping to be the last 9 numbers of my vin. Is this correct? What looked like a 2 in the mirror was actually a 7 in the clay. Also if I decoded the rearend correctly it is 9 days after the car build week.
