I was contacted when this car was originally found.
The cowl tag is out of sequence for the car. There's one other early 67 car like this.
A guess would be they didn't have cowl tags originally and they retrofitted them. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

That other one is the lowest VIN LA car known. But there's several NOR cars that were built earlier (since NOR was the lead plant).

The third to last digit on the vin tag looks a little odd? Has anyone taken the time to clean the paint off the vin plate before all the hub-ub starts?

Looks like it could be 100801 that has had the 8 hit in the middle (whether as a random dent that happened to land there, or intentionally hit with an oval punch ... ). 801 would match the cowl tag date and 860 body # a whole lot better.

Need a good pic of the vin stamp on the cowl. If it's the real thing then you would not expect it to take very long to take that one key picture and provide it to all the inquirers ...

I have received new updated pictures of the car today via the appraiser including with paint removed from VIN. The VIN exhibits no indication of tampering, nor does the pillar post it is attached to. As far s the body tag goes, that also looks as though it could very well be correct for this car even though the body number is out of range for an 09B and the date is out of range for the VIN. There is quite a bit to that though and will be commenting on that in the future.

My brother and I owned that car. We bought it in Utah as a stripped rust bucket and totaly restored it. We sold it at the Barret Jackson auction in Jan 07. The guy that won the auction sold it in Vegas this last October.

00001 vin with 09B build date ? my 00068 vin '67 has a 08A build date. Seems odd. Frank.

Re: 1967 Camaro, Norwood car, VIN 0001, info needed
 

I would not put too much trust in the body date versus vin...especially this early on in production...I have the only 07C 67 Z28 known that is 243 VINs from the last Norwood Camaro, but there is a 67 Z within 100 VIN's of the last Norwood Camaro that is a 07B car...???

Re: 1967 Camaro, Norwood car, VIN 0001, info needed
 

09B is actually OK for the early "Pilot" cars that have very very low VINs. Have no idea why but there are several documented pilot cars that have low numbers but the tags are dated 09B with a body number that is far to low for an 09B. For the cars that are known the body number used here along with the date lines up very well. Regular production cars had normal dated tags and what not. Is this car a "Pilot" car? Hard to say for sure with the current information I have but does look pretty good so far.

And as I said above, I think the tag is fine too. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif
