Is $25k a fair price when missing the original cowl tag and also missing the original engine, transmission and rear end?
Would spending another $10k - $15k get a 69 worth so much more if I had to sell it in 5 to 10 years

yes iff going the resto-mod route. Numbers mean very little in that market. For a stock Camaro, it is going to make for a harder future sell. I personally wouldn't dump more money into it, if it was missing the trim tag.

My worthless two cents...
A 'trim tag' or 'buck tag' is simply a plate attached to the body denoting its options, colors and where it was built. It is NOT a VIN. Since its missing, and what the others have mentioned, for a 'correct' car it will be a slight loss in value. IF you intend to build a modified car, its not really needed anyways. However, ANY potential car worth owning should have one in place. I'm not qualified to comment on a Camaro's reproduction buck tag, or where you can have one made. I do know that in the Ford world Kevin Marti will sell you one for your car...IF you can prove you own it.

Well, maybe on a 68 since the trim tag info had limited information about the options it came with - unfortunately Chevy in their infinite wisdom decided to get lazy on this for whatever reason. But 67's and for the most part 69's they are important. Especially a car as rare as a 67 Z28. Without that tag , assuming no paper work or ownership documents, it's a huge $$ difference.  And yes, it goes without saying that tags can be forged - but it helps to have the knowledge to check and verify.

Absolutely! ANY potential car with value/rarity missing buck tags, VINS, and proper paperwork is a major hit on value. As my wealthy car collector friends always say: "No documentation, NO premium"
