'67 Big Block Camaro

[dannystarr]

I have a friend who is flying out to Oklahoma next week to look at a car for sale. It is a '67 Camaro SS big block 4-speed convertible. It has a '69 396 in it, and he knows it is NOT numbers matching. His concern is... how does he tell if the car ORIGINALLY was a big block car to begin with from the factory? I am trying to get the VIN and maybe a pic of the cowl tag. But is there a list of things he can look at straight away to distinguish?... Danny

Danny, it's a 67 so the trim tag should give him info plus there are numerous threads concerning similar.

Yes get a cowl tag pic.

Only 1138 L78 Camaros in 67 and 4003 L35 Camaros in 67.

Nothing definitive in that ad.

Nice car but without more detail it is a (plain) camaro for the price. As discussed before nice 1st gens with NOM,s ect. mid 30,s just my thoughts.

I would recommend you post the VIN and pictures of the trim tag BEFORE your friend spends the money to go out there.

That car seems familiar, and may have been discussed here or on the Team Camaro site this year.

Supposed to be getting a picture of the tag today. We will see... Danny

 I have two 67 L35's.....one from LOS (04B, TH400) and one from NOR (05B, 4 speed) to use a reference.

Seems to have the correct big block fuel line.  Which is a good sign.

Owner flaked and would not provide pictures and VIN. So my friend moved on to THIS one. He went down about 25 miles to look at it this morning. Cowl Tag and Window Sticker OK?  Danny

 The VIN pad looks like it was decked at some point, IMO.
The window sticker.....the characters look like they were made with an impact printer (vs. dot matrix). Maybe Paul from Winvoices can comment.

Is that window sticker real? because I thought you had to have a clock if the console was ordered?

124679N662722 has been in the database since 2013. The original engine is gone, it has a restamped engine pad and a reproduction window sticker.
