1969 Camaro SS 124379N693767 sold for $38,500. Glacier Blue with Blue Standard interior.
Engine stamping looked good. That was a great buy

I dont know of any headers made that fit a Camaro without removing the reverse linkage

I agree with the wheels comment above. Lots of questions arise from that cowl tag/VIN situation.

All those driveline stampings look legit. I agree it looks like a crack, would like to see the paint removed off the pad.

My first thought was ME changed to MO due to non VIN stamped pad too.

In that Ebay ad I see the casting is 3892657 and a way better pic of the stamping.

Picture isnt the best. I would have to defer to Kurt on this one. The earliest 67 z stampings I have are March 67. The MO stampings I have for Feb are from 1968 so they are of no help.
Would be interested in seeing a casting date and clock casting number. The MO when blown up look kind of odd to me.

Lots of holes in this story. The first z28 was produced on Dec 29th, 1966, so for it to be a Dec car it would have to be one of the very first few made, which I highly doubt.
Then to have a Feb engine adds even more to question here. I would have to see a stamping and casting dates to believe he even has a Feb 6th, 1967 MO engine.

I would be suspicious of it. Not the norm. Which plant was it built at? That time frame at NOR should be down by the filter.

The 6618 block has a 1969 Casting date, its definitely a 69 block. The 9's sometimes look like 8's. 6618 block was only 1969 mid year. Someone brought this thing back to life.
I dont think its perfect but from where it was, they did a pretty good job. Agreed it has had some rust repair. Tag and VIN off the car at one time. I would not pay a premium for it, but its already at $55K and I'm sure the crowd at BaT doesnt care as long as it looks good.
