Looking at this 1967 Camaro and the Vin and COWL tag seem to line up as to dates they went through the plant. Asking if anyone is seeing anything weird questionable. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

VIN: 124377N139358 COWL: 11D 67-12637

Always frustrating when people sand the tag surfaces. Lazy way to highlight them. I always think someone is hiding something when I see it.

Try to find some original Mountain Green paint; maybe under weatherstripping, jambs or in the trunk.
The vin tag looks like it may have been masked over, either way it's pretty crappy looking so hard to say. See if you can clean it up a little and post a better pic. Look for the hidden vin in the cowl to confirm originality.

There is nothing so special about either of them to warrant swapping. If they were swapped out it may have been to a car that was missing them; one or both. The rivets appear ok though, so they're just as likely to be legit. Maybe it's just the rash makes them look suspicious.

Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
