Decoding/Numbers / Re: help my project

« on: June 09, 2007, 01:41:50 AM »

Thanks for your help. It's greatly appreciated. Butternut yellow is fine, but I think other colors suit the cars lines better (no offense LOL). I did'nt think the 4P codes began until the end of Dec. 66. My car was built just prior to that , 12C 3 rd. wk Dec. 66, but anyhow I've checked the rear end code and believe it's from a 68, not a 67. It reads PA0219G2 (PA= 3:08 10 bolt from 67 to 69). The casting date reads B98, which I think relates to Feb. 9th of 68. What do you think? Since I don't have the original motor or trans and its probably not a L30/M20 or an SS, should I have some fun with it? Maybe a 400 HP small block with a 12 bolt and suitable trans? Would it make the car worth any less when finished?

I am beginning the restoration of a 67 rs camaro. I would like to rebuild the car as close to original as possible with the exception of color (butternut yellow). According to the cowl tag, it was a power glide car with the ralley sport option. I believe the car has the original rear end, but the motor and trans are long gone. Here is my first series of questions; Is there any way of telling the engine type? Do the engine block code numbers have to perfectly match the cars vin? Will any powerglide do or is there a specific one? It would be sweet if I could find the original motor and trans for the car. If someone would like to help the vin is 124377N156056, odd thing though the cowl tag reads 56022 not 56056,  build date 12c, I think this means 12th month 3rd week of 66 since production ends in August. The 3rd line on the cowl reads E 2MG 3SDL.

Thanks D. Smith.
