You have not told us about the transmission and rear axle.  Is the axle at least a 12 bolt?  If so, what is the code on the front edge of the passenger side axle tube?

The car is a real RS, but it was not a SS. I saw that new tag earlier this year....
Here's the tag picture from 10 years ago.

Might I add he said he purchased the vehicle way before cowel tags where being reproduced.

Replacement cowl (not cowel) tags have been around practically forever. They are actually original unstamped blanks that you could order stamped to your specification through the mail before internet. They were advertised in places like Hemmings Magazine. When did he tell you he purchased the car?

Kurt has quite a smoking gun there if he can match it to the VIN, which I bet he can. Not only was the tag recreated with embellishments, the body number was slightly altered to further avoid detection.

My 67 is a January car still identified as a SS 350, I read that when the mid year 396 debuted the car badges were changed to SS.  My tag on the fire wall is original and the my rivets don't look the same as yours.

Well Erik, according to the ORIGINAL trim tag Kurt posted, your car started life as a LF7 (327/210) with a Saginaw 4 speed, Console and Rally Sport.

Following the link that Darrell posted, I went back and found the eBay auction from April of this year. I think this link still works.

eBay item number: 112934747418
Seller assumes all responsibility for this listing.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/-/112934747418?nordt=true&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l10137

It’s tough to say exactly when the tag was swapped.

Hard to put a value on the car. But the restoration cost was probably more than what it’s worth.

Plenty of discussion about this car when it was on Ebay.

For others google VIN as usual.

There's a reason I put the VIN in forum posts. :)

Thanks Kurt. That is a practice we should all try to follow.

Look at the bid history. From $47,000 on up it looks like shadow bidding with 0 feedback bidders.

Oh yeah. I thought that car looked familiar! And yes, it does appear that b***b and 0***i were shill bidders. They drove up the price another $5k. In my opinion, the car sold for about $15k to $20k over what it's worth.

I think the car is really nice but agree with Ed,s pricing. If it were me I would lawyer up and offer a price change(ie) send me a check as a negotiation or else.
