General Discussion / Re: Where is the temp sensor located?
« on: February 15, 2012, 02:57:47 PM »
I believe this is one of the difference between 1967 intakes and 1968 intakes. The later does not have the drilled hole for the coolant temp sending unit it being instead in the driver's side cylinder head.

General Discussion / Re: we need to stop the fraud on ebay -
« on: August 30, 2011, 05:16:10 PM »
As an attorney who specializes in collector car fraud there is no way to stop it. With the values being what they are, there will always be folks trying to get more for their car than another car. The extent to which they will go is anyone's guess.
As far as advertisements go, most people don't realize it, but they can be held to whatever they write about a car. If they state that a car is an L78 or Z28, then they can be held to that statement if the car turns out to be otherwise. A carefully worded ad may even be deceptive. The best practice is not to rush into any purchase and do your homework ahead of time. Even that is not failsafe, but it certainly helps flush out the less sophisticated frauds. Also, I highly recommend having any Camaro looked at prior to purchasing, by someone such as Jerry MacNeish to ensure what you are negotiating for is really what is being offered.
Also keep in mind that if a deal is "too good to be true" it probably isn't true!

General Discussion / Body Codes
« on: February 27, 2011, 09:27:58 PM »
Okay, I've searched through this forum and have read the page on body panel date codes. This is the rear floor support on my '67 convertible. The car was built 11D. From reading the CRG page on body codes it appears that K stands for the manufacturer of this piece and the 41 is the week of the year. In this case like the second week of October 66. What does the 7403 mean?

Thanks everyone!

The car is out there ... it shows up in the Department of Justice's National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS). Go to www.add123.com and check VIN 124378N477646. This will tell you in which state the car is currently registered. The owner can then be located by doing a request for vehicle title history at the state where the car is.

It doesn't show past owners per se, but it does show if it was registered another state. To check your vin, follow the link that I posted above ... then search for your VIN and pay the $4.95 and you'll see what results they have.
Some states have been better at updating it with older information than others.

I think all states are participating at this point, but not all have all of their data updated. It's up to the individual states how much "back" data they upload. From here forward however it will be THE place to find information. Given this it's entirely possible that you have a title to a car, but that it's a few years old and you haven't registered it lately and it's not in the database. When you register it, they'll pick it up.

Unfortunately then it looks like you might have to try to track it from the last known owner forward ... it may be long gone however since it is not in the NMVTIS database.

The car is still around, it's in the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System as 124379N589122 ... for $4.95 you can find out what state it is in and then work with that state's DMV to get the current owner's information if that is what you are looking for. http://www.add123.com/
