This time with a 67 Z28.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2422076684

10D X083

67-12637 LOS 4264
732-Z D-2
EX 2LG 3BSDL
4L 5BY

Only two problems, three if you count it being a LOS car. One the first batch of Z's weren't built until the last couple of weeks of decmber 66, and two the 4L code on Z28 trim tags wasn't used in October of 66, since there weren't any Z's at that point.

Plus it was an LF7 M35 car 2 months ago.

Aren't registries wonderful.

Mark: Do you think he use a repro tag or stamped the 2L & 4L on an exisiting tag?

How did you guys find this in a registry ???

Mark_C · #4 07-03-2003, 08:14 PM

Don't know. Haven't seen the tag. There's no image on the ad page. It's tough to stamp another set of numbers on the tag, due to spacings and fonts so I would guess it's a repro tag.

Trying to clone a 67 Z28 is almost as tough as a Yenko. Most if not all of the VIN's are known.

I sent the seller an email for a pic of the cowl tag? No response yet. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img] Roger

Can any '69 Camaro vin be checked in this registry? I am more than ready to purchase a '69 SS convertible, but I want the real thing. There's one on eBay in New Mexico, and "streetdreamstexas.com".

Is there any way to know if these cars started life as SS's?

69SS, unless the car you are looking at is a very early car (first few months) then it will have an X code on the cowl tag. X22 and X66 would be a big block SS or RS, X55 would be a small block SS. It could also be an X11. If it comes up a X44 it will be a base car with the rare exception of a COPO or ZL1, X33 or X77 would be a Z-28 which it wont be since it is a convertible, Z11 would be a Indy Pace Car edition. Ask the seller for a photo or a full written description of whats on the cowl tag.

I know the feeling. I looks great and maybe even sounds great but you really need to know what you are doing before you spend a lot of money on what could be a clone. Don't contribute to the snakes that are around our hobby waiting to burn someone. Buy Mac Neish's book and read it a few times before you buy any 69 Camaro. It takes a while but the wait is worth. Your patience and learning will pay off big in the long run.
