General Discussion / 67 Black Panther on Mecum
« on: October 30, 2019, 02:09:35 AM »
Did y'all see it only went for $71k???  I wish I had bid on it.   That's a sweet car, especially since I'm a 69 fan.

I'm loving all this help!  I'm very much enjoying learning more about Camaro's.  We went to Streetside Classics today in Ft. Worth to look at a few.  Nothing special, but I love that I can now check VIN's and cowl tags against one another and know more about them.

That's great advice, Joe. Thank you.  No, I'm not looking to show it.  I want to drive it as much as possible and look and feel amazing in it 😁  I want a car that looks amazing, runs great, and is as true to a 69 Camaro without being too mod. I am not in a place to do any fixing up myself. This would be my "perfect" car to keep as long as I can afford to.

Another thought:  in my search for my dream car, I've tried to run several VIN's online to get more info.  But since there are only 13 numbers, vs now 17, many cars I come across don't have any database info.  Is this typical?  Or is this a definite red flag?

Decoding/Numbers / How original can one get?

Y'all don't chastise me here (yes, I'm from Texas).  I'm still doing research to hopefully purchase a 69 SS Camaro.  It would be my dream car, to own until I can no longer drive it.  My question is:  how original should I be on the lookout for?  I see lots of caveat emptors, lots of questions regarding restamps, numbers not matching, etc.  But how many Camaros out there do you think would really be all original?  I don't know if I should be worried about finding all correct stamping, data plate info.  I'm still new to searching for my perfect car.  I appreciate help!

Does anyone have a recommendation on a good factual read about Camaro's?  '69 in particular.

Thank you for those last two posts.  That helps a bit.  I'm wanting a 69 Camaro that will be in my life until I die. We are trying to do as much research as possible before buying.  It seems every one is buyer beware. We're doing the best we can, with a little help from our friends here.

I guess I'm missing something big.  I cannot determine why this VIN will not show any records on any DMV site.  I've read through the explanation of codes, and am still confused.  Can anyone be more specific?  I didn't realize this research group was so cryptic.

Sabino, will you tell me what mistake you are seeing?  My problem with this car is we've checked the VIN through multiple DMV sites and no records of this car are turning up.

I'm a newbie, and I'm really trying to learn here.  It's marked as X44, but that's a base model, so it's not an original SS.  Am I getting warm?

Decoding/Numbers / VIN # not registering

We've looked at this '69 Camaro SS to buy, but when we tried to look up the VIN, no online database could find any record of this car.  Called my car insurance company to get a quote on insurance, and they couldn't find any matching vehicles either.  The only place that found any information was our county sheriff's office, who could only tell us it hasn't been stolen.  What could be going on here?

VIN # 124379N643145

I'm new to searching for a Camaro to purchase and came across this one.  Can you tell me more about the error?
