The car has never seen a drop of rain during my ownership.I have only put about 1,600 miles on it in the 5 years I have owned it. I primarily have gone to local car shows or cruise nights.
If you are looking to decode the VIN...First Generation Chevy Camaro VIN Decode
Not much can be decoded from a 1967, 1968 or 1969 Chevy Camaro VIN. You can only determine the type of engine either 6 cylinder or V8, the year and the plant produced. You can not determine the exact engine installed in a first generation Chevy Camaro by the VIN. The 1967 Chevy Camaro was the only model to have the vehicle identification number (VIN) tag mounted to the door hinge pillar. VIN tags on later models are visible through the drivers side windshield.(See below for links to other years)
FACT:There is absolutely NO engine information contained in a Camaro VIN until 1972.
1967-69 CAMARO VIN
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) Example: 124377N100001
Third Digit Engine:3for 6 cylinder,4for V8
Fourth Digit Body Style:3for coupe,6for convertible
Sixth Digit Year:7=1967,8=1968,9=1969

NOTE: 1969 Chevy Camaros started with (500001)
If you are looking to decode the Cowl Trim Tag on this car...
01C - Built in January "01", 3rd week "C"
68 - 12467 - Model year "68", Body style is an 8cyl convertible "12467"
717 - Meant this car was produced with a blue interior
U4 - Lemans Blue body color "U" and a blue convertible top "4"
So you can see the car was produced blue on blue on blue, common for the day but in my opinion butt ugly! I wasn't looking for original and they did a great job was the color mods to make this car look awesome during the restoration!
The Engine Code on the car is T0404IP. I looked this up under Chevy Corvette engines codes and it breaks down as follows:
T =Tonawanda NYAssembly Plant
04 = Month
04 = Day (there was no year)
IP = 1966 427 Mt SHP 425 Vette
Two items missing from the car - radio speakers, the original radio is in place but the speakers where removed by previous owner. I never bothered replaced them because I like listening to the exhaust. Also no spare.
I have the prices for the current market but will consider offers. The car is being sold "as is" with no warranty or refunds.
