Does anyone else see anything wrong with the cowl tag date and sequence number for a Baltimore built car? :confused:

oldtimebaseballfan Oct 26th, 08, 10:07 AM Do you have a link? skyman51 Oct 26th, 08, 10:22 AM My apologies. It is item number180300966830. Don't know how to show the link.

I don't see a VIN sequence anywhere. The number on the body plate, 147642, is not a sequence number - in fact, it isn't even the body number found in block #8 on a Baltimore car but rather a data processing number found in block #24 and that is nowhere near sequential. "B 147642 Baltimore plant and body sequence number." Wrong. :noway: Did I miss the VIN sequence number listed somewhere? :confused: Obviously seller doesn't know or doesn't want a buyer to know about A.I.R. equipment or the claim of "Everything down to the smallest part is done as original" wouldn't be stated. Quite a few things not correct for a $100,000 restoration investment. ss1970chev454 Oct 26th, 08, 11:05 AM sharp car! LS7 Oct 26th, 08, 11:17 AM Appraised by Camaro Specialty Appraisal Service of New York at $150,000. Interesting, IIRC this car was sold on ebay by Camaro Specialties a few years ago, same color combination, possibly the same car restored. Very sharp car.:yes: 69 Daytona Yellow 3 Speed Oct 26th, 08, 11:18 AM sharp car! X2...love the color combo.....! 704EVER Oct 26th, 08, 11:28 AM Nice looking car but missing some easy details in the resto. 4 silver circles in the dash, repro tach?, shifter, steering wheel silver, no smog, just a few of the obvious. The distributor date seems miles off, Jan 69 date on a late 70 build? Would need to see a lot more date codes on other important stuff as well. skyman51 Oct 26th, 08, 4:28 PM I asked the seller what the VIN is on the car and got no response. Dave Birdwell Oct 26th, 08, 6:57 PM It does have a side terminal battery, though. :thumbsup: The dist. is a restamp if that is the date. I don't see a correct alternator pulley and fan, no smog, no TCS, no no no no no...... If someone spent a hundred grand with me restoring a car, it'd have ALL the correct parts on it when I was done, that is for sure. I can't tell if the car has a vinyl top?? should be two-tone paint. No build sheet....very skeptical. | ||
