That car can't be an original L78.

> Looking at the End-Of-Month vin report on the CRG website it looks wrong, at least on the 68 Norwood cars.

Those are #'s directly from GM. I put them together, but I agree that some of the #'s are off. Hence the disclaimer on the data.

I believe the car has a made up trim tag.On most 67 tags I've seen the GENERAL MOTORS CORP at the top and BODY BY FISHER at the bottom are stamped much lighter than the rest of the tag. I'm sure that they were already on the blank tags before the rest of the info. was added. That car tag looks to be all heavely stamped as in repro.

that is what I thought I was seeing..the whole thing looks like it was really stamped hard and it crowded the top and bottom text...

If you take some time and look at some of the real trim tags on Ebay you will notice a difference in the size of the letters on the top and bottom of the tag. Also you can look at the way the t's are between the o's in MOTOR and between the A and I in CORPORATION, they look very different. Then if you go to this site http://www.trimtags.com/ and look at the 67 camaro trim tag you will see someting very familiar to the tag on this (L78 camaro) tag

Whats with the radio delete, it looks like the aluminum panel that covers the radio/heater never had a hole in it??
