Thanks for clearing up the vin stamp Charley. I may have to bid on this car. I noticed the ad states M21 but also lists the tranny as P9xxx'A' for M20. Which is correct?

That is a really odd stamping. the big "4" is open on the top and I've never seen a GM stamp like that. But both the engine and trans have the same stamp so that indicates they were done with the same setup.

I would say M20.

Charley's testimonial is probably the strongest bit of info here, but I do know this car has good, solid local history here in the Seattle area since it was sold new in Kent, WA in 1969. It was known as a JL8 car since before that was such a BIG ($$$) deal. Worst thing you can say about it is the '80s repaint is showing its age-what's there is there and you aren't going to buff it into something better.

Dang it [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif[/img] . I missed out on this one. Someone beat me to the Buy It Now price. If I had only known about this sooner I would have done the same thing.

Wow, he dropped the Buy It Now price by $10,000!

I have seen the same type of stampings from that build period. There were 2 cars from VanNuys, at first I thought Restamp, but I know they were untouched cars. This would be the third such Camaro. The stampings, believe it or not, are legit. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
