I just found out that it's going to a nephew. I hope he knows how to care for a car in this condition.

I was not able to jack up the car but I was able to get a good pic of the engine ID. I believe that this might be a CE (crate engine). 1977? Possibly a 1976 engine due to the Chevrolet orange paint vs corporate blue? No sign of serious rust issues. Protect-o-plate in glovebox. What does the C, 2, bowtie on the far right (in column 29) designate?

Thanks Kevin. Yes, it appears to have a respray. If this is a decent survivor with a respray, what might be a fair offer? 15-20k? I understand that it needs a lot to be a safe driver as I have restored '60's cars before. It still has an intact A.I.R.

Thank you for the information on the alphaumeric code, I will be looking at this car on Sunday and I'll bring 4 jack stands to get a look at the underside and check the #'s on the transmission and rear axle. I have a picture of the engine code but it is barely visible. I'll do some more cleaning and play with the lighting to get a better look.

I am looking at purchasing a '69 RS/SS convertible 4-speed and I have a question about the cowl tag. I've been able to decode everything except for an alphanumeric code below the trim and paint codes, on the same line as the 02A date code. It reads "E028". Any help is appreciated. I'm new to the Camaro world but I have known about this car for 20+ years that has been sitting untouched in my neighbor's garage since the mid '90's. The owner recently passed away and I wanted to make his widow a fair offer for it but I want to make sure it's a true RS/SS and confirm the authenticity of the drivetrain before I proceed.
