Re: 67 baldwin motion identification question/new memb
 

That would be great if you could find out about that other 67 Camaro, and see if your tags are on it. As for the L78's that were taken out of converted 427 Camaro's, etc, I don't think they were given to the owners of the car, unless they wanted them.
If the owner did take the L78 engine with him and put it in a 6 cyclinder Camaro, then he would have to take the vin plate and cowl tag off the 427 camaro in order to make it an orginal and numbers matching car, then that would leave the B/M 427 with no identification. I don't think it was to common for an owner to take the pulled L78, since this was the 60's and they weren't concerned about a numbers matching car back then, only power and racing mostly. JMO

When the owner sold the B/M 427 car, he would have to come up with a 8 cylinder cowltag and vin# plate, since the 6 cylinder tags wouldn't work on a 427 Camaro, etc.

Re: 67 baldwin motion identification question/new memb
 

What's the complete cowl tag show? Depending on the date and option codes it will help to identify what it was originally. Sounds like the VIN tag and title are not legit for the car. The hidden VIN will tell you what the car really is. Then you could try to get a title issued with that VIN.

Hi Jeff, Matt Murphy helped me with cowl and vin they are both off the same straight six, the ss hood was switched for the six's flat other than that they left everything else, From that we were able to confirm she was a ss/rs/bb 4spd, who finally got caught w/ the wrong tags and was lastdriven in80', I'm contacting the dealer who popped her 427 and tranny( the way she set up w/ this monster rear I'm guessing its probably going to involve some sneider race options mated up to the motor, just trying to see if she's an orig 396 or 427. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: 67 baldwin motion identification question/new memb
 

Partial VIN will only tell the make, Year, Build plant and the cars sequence number which will allow you do determine the model It will not say if it was a V8 or 6 cylinder car
Example: 19N555555 1= Chevy 9= 1969 N= Norwood and 555555= Camaro since the 69 model year started with 5xxxxx. You will have to have the complete VIN to determine if it was a V8 car along with the orginal Cowl Tag to determine if the car was a BB car ( if after Dec Build date for Norwood) If the Partial VIN is 19L555555 you will not be able to tell what the car was in regards to it being a big block car due to Los Angeles having no "X" codes on the Cowl Tag.

Re: 67 baldwin motion identification question/new memb
 

67 would only be a 396 BB car if it turns out to be a BB SS Car. No Factory 427 67's How many coils do the hood springs have?

Re: 67 baldwin motion identification question/new memb
 

Boy, that makes it tough then. What's the partial VIN? You should be able to look at that and determine what time frame the car was actually built. Then you will know if it's a late enough car to be a big block or too early.

Well if the number 7N227311 holds up then its a Yenko (go figure) she's on the 107 nhra list between two others that are also on the yenko list of 54, but we been wire brushing so long we guessed the last number off what we cleaned up all the others are clearly legible the last has a straight part to but could be 5 or 9 can't get top and bottom clean yet to see where and if she bends, could end up both lists if it changes from a 1, We're gonna have to pull the heater box to get a good look at the number- almost there https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/shocked.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: 67 baldwin motion identification question/new memb
 

Great find if it turns out to be real Yenko. Just like the 69 that popped up on Ebay recently. It's great to find some of these lost cars.

Re: 67 baldwin motion identification question/new memb
 

Thanks how much did the 69 go for, any idea what a 67 red RS yenko 427, 4 spd with line lock and ladder bars would go for, found the dealer who pulled the motor and tranny in 81 he's out till Monday but said he either has it in one of his old drag vetts or knows with paperwork who he sold it too, keepin' my fingers crossed. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif
