Default Re: Hidden vin mystery?

Thats not even a 68 Camaro VIN, would have to have come from a full size Chevy. I could see some one at LA grabbing the wrong model line vin stamper (they did make impalas, chevrolets in addition to Camaros) if it was the same model year.

LA is famous for not stamping the heater area VIN, no big surprise ther.

Reach in the cowl area and feel underneath the partial VIN stamp. If you don't feel anything obvious, check with a mirror to look for any tampering. It's something I always do. Only one time have I felt the weld stitching (top looked fine under paint), and it'll startle you for a sec.

It doesn't really make sense to splice a hidden to not have it match the dash plate VIN, but who knows. Something to check at least.
