Help on '67 Camaro VIN

[Jeff H]

What VIN is on the title you have for it? If it's the 6 cyl VIN then you might have a hard time trying to get the original SS350 V8 VIN put back on the car. Most states will issue a new state assigned VIN which doesn't help truly identify the car and it might not make the situation any better for you. Some states want a tracing of the VIN tag to issue a corrected title so you would need the correct VIN tag on the car and be able to do a tracing of it. It could be an old drag car that never got title to begine with so somebody grabbed a beaten up 6 cyl car and transferred the tag and title to sell it.

I finally got the info on the VIN. The 6-cylinder VIN is registered in Oregon and is current on the car. There is no trace of the V8 VIN at all. Interesting. I go through cars so much that I have regretted some that I have sold, so now this one is here to stay. I am not going to sell an original RS/SS car for a 6-cylinder price and no one is going to pay an RS/SS price for a 6-cylinder VIN car. So I am actually glad this happened. The car is not stolen and it will now be my new Yenko clone.

Since there is no trace of the V8 VIN I would do what it takes to get it back where it belongs, on your car. That way the car is complete and correct.

As for turning it in to a Yenko clone, I think you are using the wrong car. If it was an original 6 cylinder car I could see that but using a true RS/SS to make a clone in my mind is wrong.

But hey, like they say it's your car do what you want with it.

I agree with using a factory RS/SS and I actually called a friend of mine who deals in Camaros to see if he has a more together '67 to trade for this one so I don't hack up a real car but he didn't have anything. So that is what has to happen. I don't like small block cars and with the SS-350 prices only being in the $20,000 range it isn't worth building something that I don't want.

I will check the rear axle number later tonight. I know it is a 12 bolt but other than that I don't know.

Not sure where you are getting your info but they are worth a lot more then that.

The state of california will issue a vin. tag with the cars hidden vin#. I would lose the incorrect tag. Then get a title through dmv or title service.

I have been looking on ebay and they are only getting $20-25K. Mine is non-numbers matching so probably less.
