Question, do the numbers match on the cowl tag begin 124 and the door jamb tag begin 123? As I understand vin 123 is 6 cylinder and 124 is v8 or am I confused?

The two digit year ("67," "68," or "69") was followed by a five-digit "ST" body style code, e.g. 12437. The first two digits of the style code are the model code ("12") and the last two digits are body code ("37" for coupe and "67" convertible).
While the Fisher style code is often confused with the first five digits of the VIN, the two codes are different because of the different meaning of the third digit. In 1967, the third digit of the style code was set to "4" for standard interior or "6" for custom interior (e.g. a style code for a 67 convertible with custom interior would be 12667). In 1968-69, the third digit was fixed at "4" for all models (L6 and V8) and had no meaning.

Here is my 1956 chevy pickup I did a frame off, bare metal restoration/resto mod. Shaved firewall, one piece windows, shaved all emblems and custom interior. Me and my father ( I did most of the work and the patina paint job ) restored this truck in 7 months. I also took a couple months off working on it when I moved. I sold it for 16k (stock suspension). It can be done

I have decided to restore the car back to original and not modify it. I just don't have the heart to change anything on her. I'll let the next owner decide if they want to modify it. After restored back to its original condition I think it will be worth about the same as a base 327 convertible.

I'm about to start restoring this after the holidays. I buy, restore, and sell Classic Chevys as my main source of income. I was thinking about restoring this back to original or pull out the 6 and throw in a nice small block with a 4 or 5 speed. But keep all the original parts to put back to original. What do y'all think would bring the most value to this car. I have never seen a restored convertible with a 6 sell, so have nothing to compare it to.

From what I here that it was a special order for a 3 speed on the column to be installed on a convertible.

6-cylinder Camaros / Just bought a all original 67 convertible with a 6

Car has been sitting for awhile I guess you could call it a barn find. Friend of my picked 2 camaros a original 68 with coupe with a 327 automatic and this one a 67 convertible straight 6 with 3 on the tree in a package deal from a older lady. The cars where her late husbands. From what I understand they drove the convertible from Florida and then parked it. And after a year a negotiations I finally got it . My plans are to go threw the brakes and change the gas tank and drive her. She already runs really good.

I just bought a 67 camaro numbers matching with a 6 cylinder with a 3 speed column shift. Is this a rare car? I know they only made about 5,600 convertibles with 6 cylinders but how many where automatic and how many were 3 and 4 speeds?
