67 (YENKO) baldwin motion identification question

[JChlupsa]

123377N shows it as a 6 cylinder car from the General. Cowl partial VIN and the cars VIN dont match. If youhave not bought the car yet, I would take the VIN to the local police and ask them to check it. Stolen/salvaged/peice meal car comes to mind.

Better safe than sorry

stolen is coming to mind that's what I'm afraid of, but I bought it as a parts car for 500$ 10 years ago, the front end alone is worth about 5 times that. I know the codes don't match, but I don't think they got the one they wanted on the cowl those rivots held tight(good)! Just finishing up my second restoration-do all the work myself with my old man he's like the dad from orange county choppers, this 67 is all there and too rare to part out so its looking like the third resto project.

RIVITS on the cowl??? the firewall for the cowl (trim) tag or the partial VIN?? A cowl tag would be easy to remove with a screwdriver

its way past my bedtime , and the wife is a callin' the partial on the cowl is embossed, the trim tag is riveted on the firewall, sorry if I screwed it up I can't type as fast as I 'm thinking, the trim 's got no 4 code so it pretty much kills super status right- hell I just want to put her back the way she was, not sell her, I still got my first car I bought at 15 67 327 auto, complete retore, had it 15 yrs and brought her back from the dead in a new hampshire farm field in the middle of a snowstorm.

Down boy, she's cleaner than coming out of norwood right now , just gotta find the motor, looks like someone spent some money at motion and tru on some race options like superbite rearend , he put them in perfect and those seals have never been brok or repalced (big block motor mounts by the way) [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]
