not sure on this block after looking at decode area , thought a early block due too vin and month , 327/210 hp manual V8 , 18L318003 V I I 30 MA ALSO AM LOOKING AT a whole car 1967 sport coupe with the following vin 124377L140307 that I'M checking on with dept of motor viehicles too see if car is clean in wash. state , told its a RS 4spd car , but don't have cowl tag info yet. THANKS from a team chevelle member graemlins/clonk.gif

FORGOT TOO INCLUDE BLK DATE CODE IS J 31 7 and cast pt # 3914678 THAT DID show up as 68 327 FOR CAMAROS, 2nd question - would the car have anything on cowl tag to indicate it as a ralley sport . a few of the ralley parts are with the car, but could be someones attempt to clone , thanks

On a 67 Yes there would be Info on the cowl tag to indicate RS option. as Far as 3914678 I found it listed as 1968 302, 327, 350 2 bolt main Casting. Would have to get the Front pad info to tell you more on that one.

Rsmith the pad info on the blk is 18L318003 VII30MA and a date of J 31 7 I feel its a sept or oct 31 1967 blk for a early 1968 camaro . the V I I 30 MA is my area of confussion- help :confused:

RSMITH - also -what code would be on cowl tag too show its a true RS ?? going too see car agin today and would appreciate the code , as I feel close to making a offer

First - V1130MA, decodes as;
V = Flint engine final assembly
11 = November
30 = 30th day of Nov.
MA = 327ci/210hp w/3 or 4 speed manual trans in Camaro application.

J317 = would be a Oct 31st, 1967 casting date for your block.

As far as the 'decode' on the Tag, you will find a letter "L" in the 3rd options grouping under the 'trim' and 'paint' markings on the tag to indicate the RS option as being present on a 67.
There will probably be other options on the car also and they will be indicated in the other groups.
If you post all the numbers you find on the tag we can help you decode the car.

Hope this helps;

John

thanks john - did start my search on CRG of the option on the cowl tag and will post the info later as I return with the data tonight and thanks for the L code info on RS option , keeping my fingers crossed its not a clone RS- MARK

Got the cowl tag info AND pixs of the car- cowl tag and body. Not good at downloading too this site. WILL SEND PIXS to help confir COWL TAG info 02A 6269 1st line------------ 67-12637 LOS 16328 2nd line------------- 765 Z F-2 3rd line------------- E 2GU 3 SL 4TH line ---- -------------------------------------------------------- car has holes in fire wall for clutch rod and z-bar mountalso has a 3 regulator / or relay wiring ? for hideaway headlights ? HAS 12 BOLT but looks like it was just put in to trailer, has frt disc brakes . REALLY DO appreciate your breakdown on this project car. wants $2,500.00 AND TITLE IS ???????? graemlins/clonk.gif

Well it looks like you've got a winner
graemlins/thumbsup.gif
It is (or was?) a Rally Sport!
Looks like it was a nicely equiped car and may well be work restoring - depending on the condition and price.

You Cowl Tag decodes as;

02A = Feb, 1st week final assembly
6269 = Internal plant code - see some CRG info on this.
67 = Model Year 1967
12637 = Chevrolet, Camaro, V-8, Coupe with Custom Interior
LOS = Los Angeles (Van Nuys, Ca) final assembly plant
16328 (number missing) = Body Number
765 Z = Black Custom Interior with Bucket Seat Trim
F = Marina Blue (Lower or body color)
2 = Black Vinyl Top
E = Tinted Windows - All
2
G = Center Console
U = 8 Track/Multiplex Stereo sytem! Neat and rare option!
3
S = RPO-Z23 - Iterior Trim Option package. You can read up on everything included in the CRG site.
L = Rally Sport option

No codes for optional V-8's so the Base 327/210 was probably the engine. You will have to keep investigating to see if you can find out which manual trans it was equiped with.
See if you can get the code from the rear end, check CRG for details on where to find.

Hope some of this helps;

John

THANKS JOHN- if tile doesn't cause problems I will offer on car, after seeing parts stored in a garage for safe keeping . the title came up clean in this state , but could be dirty in another state . price is $ 2500.00 , BUT havn't verified 327 as the origional blk until I see it, have A 1968 MA CAMARO 327 LIKE THE 67 BLK. Wonder about a price on a project 67 RS 4SPD CAR , saw no rust anywere , but may be missing alot of the special parts ,,, consle , RS , 4SPD ETC.. HAVE PIXS OF CAR and cowl tag , am excited though , last camaro was 13 yrs ago , a 1970 Z28. , HAVE SEVERAL CHEVELLES THOUGH- THANKS MARK ;)

JOHN - DID NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE MODEL # on the vin - 12437 7 L AND THE MODEL # ON THE COWL TAG - 12637 . IS THIS OK ?? did SEE SOMETHING ON CGR about the 2 model #S USED ON SAME CAR ??? like mine - confusing

That is correct - the VIN will be 12437 and the Cowl will be 12637 on your car.
