Decoding/Numbers / Re: Decode help 1967 Camaro

« on: October 16, 2016, 04:38:42 PM »

From Hemmings which conflicts with camaros.org  Which references specifically the 67 SS with powerglide.  Have seen a few other posts discussing this subject.  Does anyone have any other reference or knowledge of the 67 SS with powerglide being produced with the 10 bolt rear end?  Greatly appreciate your help!

"There is some discrepancy about the rear axles used in Camaro Super Sports. The 12-bolt axle seems to be prevalent in all Super Sports, although factory literature suggests that SS 350s with automatic transmissions would've been equipped with 10-bolt axles. That seems to be the case with Powerglide-equipped SS 350s, but not those with Turbo Hydra-Matic transmissions. "

Engine stamp picture I have is to difficult to make out.  V0425MV
It was my understanding as long as date of engine build was prior to body by fisher date it's appropriate.  Is this highly unusual the difference between April 25th and a June build? 

Have done a lot of research on the 67 rear end and it's my understanding the 67 SS with L-48 engine and auto trans only option being powerglide that GM did produce this car with the 10 bolt rear end.  Possibly, someone can validate this with more experience then me...

Working on quality pictures of the identification for the rear end.

67 SS with auto trans option which was only powerglide came with a floor shift/D55 option.  Some of these cars were in fact produced with the 10 bolt rear end.

Believe I'm looking at an original "SS" but would appreciate the experience of the group.  Engine casting #3892657 and stamp is MV code matching vin.  L-48 350, 2 spd power glide, center console shift, 10 bolt rear end.  Engine decoded built a few weeks prior to manufacturing date of car.  Appreciate the help.

General Discussion / NADA value 1967 Camaro

« on: October 16, 2016, 10:36:27 AM »

Is there a better way to determine value then NADA?  I'm looking at a 1967 SS Camaro.  Have decoded the body by fisher plate, VIN, engine casting # and engine stamp, transmission and rear end.  It's a true SS car, original engine, transmission and rear end in excellent overall condition.

L-48 350, 2 spd. Powerglide, RPO D55 center console/floor shift and 10 bolt rear end, power steering, power brakes, front disc brakes.  Authenticity of car checks out but concerned about the fact it's an automatic and 10 bolt rear end car when it comes time to sell... Also a factory blue on blue car.   Needs a few things like original radio and some TLC in the engine compartment but a solid rust free survivor.

Appreciate anyone's thoughts on investment quality of such a car purchased well below NADA average retail value.  Hard to find an all original drivetrain but it's not a 4spd., 12 bolt factory car. It's also a car that was purchased and imported to Japan many years ago.  So I would eventually be shipping it back to the USA. 

Would like to go with a M21 complete conversion kit and Moser 12 bolt 3.55 posi rear end.  Keeping original tranny and rear end when it comes time to sell.

Appreciate anyone's thoughts based on your experience.
