Just because a car is inspected doesn't mean that everything is correct. Anything that is restamped can mean numbers matching. The buyer can always call Jerry MacNeish to look at it and verify the car. Hylton just made a statement buyer beware, check it out. If I was buying the car and I knew someone on this site new something about it, I would want them to share, Wouldn't you? If everything checks out then great! Car looks very nice to me but I am viewing it from the computer.

It would have been more clear if Hylton's initial post had been more like .... " If this car is VIN number 124379N545561 then I have in fact personally inspected the car BEFORE it was restored. At that time, it had shoddy body work and did not have the original drivetrain in it. Nonetheless, the person who I was with bought this very car."

American Classix is Alan Stanton. He has a nice website: www.americanclassix.net.
There's no mention on the website about expertise authenticating Camaros but he has several classic and musclecars listed for sale. He has a nice 68 Camaro for sale. Here are a couple of pics of that car's "numbers". I'll let you make your own conclusions as to integrity and/or restoration skills: ![]() ![]() I'm with Hylton on this one: "Bullsh!t". |

As a previous owner of that car(Nov 02 to April 04) I can say that there was a big block in it while I owned the car and that the original block to the car was definitely nowhere to be found . So it is very surprising that the numbers now are matching.As to the "29 000 original miles" the odometer showed 28 545 miles when I bought it but judging by the condition of the car I would have been more inclined to think that it was the second turn around for the odometer. So nobody knows for sure if it is one way or the other. Yes, my car's v.i.n. was 124379N545561.
Hopefully this helps.

I am happy to report that the last few bidders have retracted their bids and the bid now stands at 62,000 from 70,000 a few hours ago. I am still asking Jimmy to be a man and end the auction or replace it with a more honest description of the car.
