A couple years back I bought a '67 Firebird convertible. Car had a California state issued vin tag riveted to the drivers door jamb. After purchasing the car... I ran PHS and it matched the car... colors... options.. etc... The car had a 400 hood with Chevy straight 6 under the hood with a 3spd manual on the floor. PHS came back as a 326 with a floor mounted 3 speed manual.
Years back a buddy traded a blown up Chevy Tahoe for a very rough 66 Chevelle post car. Car had been hit very hard on drivers front.. but came with a bunch of parts including an extra frame(with a 138 vin). IIRC.. the body did not have a vin tag. My buddy put the car together using the extra frame. He then took it to CHP to be inspected and verified. CHP issued a new vin tag using the frame number.. Needless to say... he had the only 2 door post '66 Chevelle with a 138 SS396 vin. I am amazed that BaT allows cars with homemade vin tags on their platform. That Camaro is not the first....... I would not touch that car with a ten foot pole.

It was shipped partially assembled to a GM plant, possibly in Venezuela. Final assembled and originally titled there.

That's the VIN for a car that was assembled in Caracas, Venezuela. It wasn't exported, it was shipped *completely* disassembled (exactly the same parts that came into the NOR or LOS plant) and assembled there.
See my article: http://www.camaros.org/foreign.shtml That car is missing its trim tag, btw.

The car is displayed as a z/28 with spoilers. I have asked for a picture of the cowl tag as well as the title. Anybody know anything else about this 1969 Camaro? Is it a real z/28 it’s a resto-mod now. Anybody ever see this car up close and personal? Mike

Yes I know the vin is legit but I also read but haven’t heard from the dealer that the cowl tag is missing or not. A post I saw said it was. So how bad is that when it comes to reselling of the cowl tag is missing on a resto mod
