I spoke with the seller on the phone...rear axle has no trac bar bracket (as one would expect on a Nov. rear axle), but the car also has no provision for the brace on the floor. Now that really makes me go hmmmmmm.... I suspect we may have a rebody or fake L78 here. I've asked for the casting date and transmission numbers as well as undercarriage pics. I also asked for confirmation of the hidden cowl vin.

I also asked for all this...as they say, an educated consumer is the best customer https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smirk.gif Got to thank the guys at CRG! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

A June car with no brace on floor?? With everything else being said the car is not looking good at all.

The cowl tag date is correct with that vin#. Roger

Correct, but is the rest of the car correct for the cowl tag and VIN????

Re: Super rare
 

I suspect it isn't as I told the owner that I would buy the car if he could confirm that the hidden VIN matched the VIN on the door...and after I saw a good pic of the trim tag. He said he would go out to the garage and email me the pics - he never did. I see the car has been pulled, so I suspect he didn't like what he found...

Re: Super rare
 

Hmmmmmmmmm another one bites the dust.

Wonder what the owner is thinking right now and if the phone lines are burning up between him and the guy who traded it.
Only hope is the car he traded away wasn't that nice or rare.

Yicks!

Hi all ,I bought the car its the real deal correct tach,traction bar studs for the bracket are their all three. bracket was not their probably unbolted years ago.looks like original seats etc etc.the vin is stamped under the passenger side rocker panel and is correctly matched to the vin on the vin tag.trim tag is original and the body # corresponds closely with another l78 convertable.I will pull the seats next week and look for the build sheet.Hope to God its their !!!The seller was very nice we put the car up on his lift.Nice car! Will keep you posted if i find build sheet.

Re: Super rare
 

Hmmmm...I specifically asked if the studs were there and even asked him to check to see if they had been broken off...never heard of a VIN being stamped under a rocker panel on a '67? But hey, I've only owned about 30 of them so maybe I missed them https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Re: Super rare
 

The vin stamp is on the cowl in the right spot.I call the vent that goes behind the hood under the windshield the rocker panel maybe its called the cowl vent grill?.we shined a light through that vent and the vin was stamped their on the cowl.I own another 67 camaro and its stamped in the same location.The owner did not see the studs but they are their.Thanks
