1967 Z/28

[William]

The '67 Z/28 I was involved with years ago had a V0706MO engine stamp, 06E body.

Protect-o-plate, 2 owners, absolutely original drivetrain.

Thanks great info, I know I learned a few things from this thread.

Just one more to chime in. It is always safer to question than to assume to much.

In the case of this car and a few others that I have on record it looks very much like there was a shortage of a particular part, could be the MO engine, that held this car on the line longer than it should have been. Based on the body number sequence to the vin number this car and at least one other I have record of were both held for a number of days counting the weekend. This hold over number is based on several cars on record that are within 20 build numbers away, taking their final vin numbers and subtracting from this cars vin number, divide.... This is not a common thing but well documented on high performance and rare option cars from several years where parts were short and the car had to be held up until they were in. The hold over of 69 Copo's where they sat waiting for a BE rear is a well known example. I've got enough cars in my own registry that I have to see and agree with Jon, not that I was questioning, 6E/7A are odd weeks with a number of peculiar things showing up.

As I said, I am no expert and representing the car as it was to me. The engine cast date is F297.As for what Jerry states in his certification "This Z28 Camaro coupe and drivetrain have been certified as real and authentic." Will this statement be parsed to mean that the car and drive train have been certified, seperately, as correct but not necessarily "born with" each other? I would hope that no licensed appraiser specializing in these cars would be that ambigious or evasive. I appreciate the discussion and have learned a lot. I am sticking with my belief that the car is real and if no one buys it then I guess I will just be "stuck" with a car that they only made 602 of and, as I was told, only approx. 169 are documented as still on the road; for all of the vultures circling, that is just a number I heard and I did not have sex with that woman...

Based on the usual lack of docs for 67 camaros in general [buildsheets etc] id say 170 documented on the road out of 602 made seems like a rather large percentage,especially given that the vast majority of those cars werent grocery getters. Im curious as to what criteria was used to document the other 169.......If my numbers are accurate they made around 225[roughly] 427 COPO Chevelles,which had the luxury of having 1 2 or 3 buildsheets in each car and cars from canada, and there are only around 20 or so documented last i heard. Furthermore the vins of the yenko chevelles are known, and they havent found 30% of those.

Last I heard there was about 195 of 602 found to date.

I've had several people ask me to comment. I'll keep it simple since Jon and Bill covered most of it.
Dates all line up fine. Car was built / finished ~7/06/67, if that helps clear it up.
And, IMO, block stamp is fine.
