6 Clyinder VIN with a SS 350 Trim Tag. Non matching Partial VIN is a bad sign as well.

2 = Camaro
3 = 6-cylinder engine
37 = coupe body
7 = 1967 model year
N = Norwood, OH assembly plant
138511 = vehicle serial number sequence

<font color="blue"> The Partial VIN from the Cowl Vent matches the Build date of the Trim Tag. I would say the VIN has been swapped</font>

That build date sounds good since they are in the same range as each other. I too wonder when the VIN was produced.

[JChlupsa]

VIN was from a car built: Nov 66

November 1966 126721 141482

So this kind of solves the mystery. The car is an original RS/SS-350 with the wrong VIN tag.

Now what to do, what if the title shows the wrong VIN?
What if it shows the original VIN, how do I fix the tag on the door?

Pull out the back seat and check for the traction bar plate on the pass-side.

[Marina66SS]

The rear seat is out because I just recovered it. What will I be looking for?

[Marina66SS]

There is about an 8"x8" plate on the floor under where the seat would be on the passenger side, nothing on the driver's side. Is this what you are talking about? I can take a picture of it.

That sounds like the bracing he was talking about. My guess is that you have a stolen car on your hands and that the door VIN will match the title. There's really no other reason to swap a 6 cylinder VIN onto an othewise solid car.
