Default Re: COPO Camaro block VIN stamp

Yes, i think this is the same guy. Wore a large brim hat. I think the rear inner fenders were painted. Did you noticed the curved neck radiator? It looked to me that he added the curved neck to the standard neck! It was sticking way out past the shroud. Tried to view the NC8 plate , could not see it without crawling up under the vehical.The exhaust hangers on the car were aftermarket that were mounted on the outside of the frame rails, Like i said, my conversation was breif with the owner. The trim tag looked repo and he confirmed it after telling him why i seen it as such.I did not want to upset the guy, I played it as he got taken by the previous owner on a repo tag. I seen all the stampings all in perfect line with the same depth ( complete tag stamped at once) GM did not do this. On a real tag, ST ,NOR, BDY, TR,PNT.look to have a deeper punch than the other #. The 12437 and fisher body # do not line up evenly on the tag with ST, NOR, BDY. Shows that a gm trim tag went through 2 diff. stamping process. It could be a real copo, Im not saying its fake. Maybe all the info is correct on the repo tag. He said it was....
