Reference Details
- Common issue
- Treating a valid V8 Camaro VIN, SS badges, or visible trim as proof of SS 396 identity without matching hidden body partial VIN, drivetrain stampings, cowl-tag evidence, and paperwork.
- Confidence
- documented
- Correct value
- 1967 Camaro VIN format identifies Chevrolet/Camaro, engine class, body style, model year, assembly plant, and serial sequence; CRG states the VIN does not identify SS, RS, or Z28 status. Body partial VIN format is YPxxxxxx for 1967, with plant code N or L and serial sequence.
- Where to check
- Official 1967 VIN plate on driver-side A-pillar; hidden body partial VIN stamp on cowl under the vent panel and another on the firewall below the fan-motor or heater opening, where inspection access permits.
