I use Montway for shipping

 

Something is up, because of the work I do my browser security is very tight. I can not open that web sight. It say threat detected. That could just mean its a really old unsecured site that could be compromised or something is wrong. I have not seen that on a used car website before. 25k for that car seems too low, it sure looks like a good 40-50k invested in the restoration. A 15k price drop just through email seems a little bit much. Most dealer want to do that kind of thing face to face. Any classic dealer would know that is not real SS and they would advertise it that way. They would just call it a SS tribute. Would a scammer know that is was not a real SS?

I am not saying its a scam but I just see some flags.

 

Thanks for the feedback guys.

 

Not saying it is but a not so uncommon scam (usually craigs list or on ebay) is a classic car FS with pics that were just downloaded from wherever the car was or is for sale. Usually selling price drops considerably for some BS reason when dealing with suspected customer by text or phone. Buyer takes the bait and contacts this scam seller to buy and than scam says send me a deposit and I will hold it for you. deposits or scam person let alone car are never seen again.

So either buyer or contracted appraiser needs to go see this car. If for whatever reason that can't happen, walk away

 

You may know that ss rs status cannot be verified by any codes. X codes were not used until later. There are clues about bb or sb. The heater hoses come through the firewall near the right side valve cover if the car came with a sb and if a bb come through over by the heater fan. Most bb cars were probably ss.

 

For the 67 the cowl tag lists all the options. 4P for the small block SS. 3L for RS. 4N 4K for the big block SS.

The 4P is a little muddled because it was used by some of l30 275hp 327 in the first few months depending which factory built it.

Cowl Tag Decode

The cowl tag is a small aluminum tag riveted to the driver's side of the firewall in the engine compartment, by the master cylinder. The tag was stamped at the Fisher Body assembly plant (not the Chevrolet vehicle assembly plant, which was a separate entity) with characters describing basic characteristics of the body build. Below is a summary of the major cowl tag fields, referred to below as fields a thru g. Despite several variations of cowl tag formats and shapes, the bulk of the information remained the same for the 1967-1969 model years. 1967 was the last (and only, for Camaro) year for inclusion of option related codes. There were also a few other changes in field content from year to year, as described below.(These discussions apply only to U.S.-built bodies sold by GM in North America and are not applicable to models assembled outside of the U.S. Note that 1968 Yenkos and 1968 non-Canadian export models, not requiring the statement of certification to the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, were shipped with 1959-1963 style Fisher Body tags that are absent the 1968 certification statement. And 1969 export tags are often blank on the bottom of the tag.)

 

Thanks for this link and info. Perhaps you might help me with my decode - It says 765-Z then E 2EMGS 3SL
I gave it a go but got stumped.

 

67? Take a picture the Cowl tag, Where the numbers are on the tag helps.

(3SL) S= Z23 interior L=RS

(2EMGS) E=AC M=Automatic G=Console S= antenna

765-Z =Buckets E= black.

You need a 4X for an SS.

 

thank you

 

Thanks so much. I should have dug a little deeper. Nice that it's an RS. A transmission did

come with it. Here is the stamped number - C6Z161442. Can you learn anything from this? I have owned it for 22 years or so.
