As a previous owner of that car(Nov 02 to April 04) I can say that there was a big block in it while I owned the car and that the original block to the car was definitely nowhere to be found . So it is very surprising that the numbers now are matching.As to the "29 000 original miles" the odometer showed 28 545 miles when I bought it but judging by the condition of the car I would have been more inclined to think that it was the second turn around for the odometer. So nobody knows for sure if it is one way or the other. Yes, my car's v.i.n. was 124379N545561.
Hopefully this helps.

I am happy to report that the last few bidders have retracted their bids and the bid now stands at 62,000 from 70,000 a few hours ago. I am still asking Jimmy to be a man and end the auction or replace it with a more honest description of the car.

Like restored car....???? [/ QUOTE ] Yes. Along with a more accurate mileage description and the fact that this may not necessarily be the original drivetrain. Heck when I looked at it, there was a 10 bolt under it. Auction sounds like it has been sitting in someone's garage unmolested for 35 years.

American Classix is Alan Stanton. He has a nice website: www.americanclassix.net. There's no mention on the website about expertise authenticating Camaros but he has several classic and musclecars listed for sale. He has a nice 68 Camaro for sale. Here are a couple of pics of that car's "numbers". I'll let you make your own conclusions as to integrity and/or restoration skills: ![]() ![]() I'm with Hylton on this one: "Bullsh!t". [/ QUOTE ] Where are the broach markings? Do I see remnants of a decked block? Why aren't the numbers consistant with GM stampings as far as straightness? Hell... What do I know??? ![]() |
