Here is a picture.

 

Does the car just sit outside uncovered all the time? The owner should be flogged if he's been abusing it like that. Bring a blanket with you and give the car a good rust inspection from bottom to top. Floors will be rusted out if it's been sitting open to the elements like that. How much $ he wants determines if it's a good find.

 

What year do you think it is?

 

Its only worth to you what you're willing to pay.

 

It's a 69, the only year with that body style. And the only year to get!

 

yes its a 69 but they are sooo overated. if you go to a car show you'll see 5 69s to every 1 67 or 68 camaro. the only time a 69 is cool if its is rarer then hensteeth.(COPO, Yenko, true Z/28, pace car) (jk 69) no its still an awsome first gen to have. i would make a sweet pace car clone out of it.

 

Can you tell anything from the VIN.

 

not from the vin in the window. if u can look at the trim tag on the firewall you will be able to tell when and where it was built. was it a v8 or I6 car, what color it was orginally along with the color of the top. also it can point that it may be a ss car. if there is a motor in the car. and you can get the vin off the block then you can use the last 6 digits on the vin on the block and compare them to the last 6 on the body vin to detemine if its #'s matching.

 

No trans but the console shows a 4 speed standard was what was there. there is a v 8 engine but all I could see on the engine through the grill was a power steering pump and the oil filter base is on the passanger side front of the engine ( not sure if that tells anything) Looks like white and orange interior with a white top. Also had radio and what looked like a/c controls, drum front brakes. Still unable to make contact with the owner.

 

You could pop the hood open (lever through the grill) and take a closer look. These cars aren't very secure, and it appears the owner isn't too concerned with it's well being anyhoo. The VIN will only tell if it's an 8 or 6 cylinder car. If the 3rd digit is a 4 = 8 cyl. car, a 3 = 6 cyl. car. What engine it is has now doesn't mean anything until you check the numbers.
