cowl tag help?

[gordonquixote]

So, A friend has a 1970 camaro on blocks (restoration began and abandoned 10 years ago, no engine/tranny, interior stripped) and I am interested in buying it.

The cowl tag has the usual; plant, car #, paint codes, but it has no designation for the model car. On the bottom line the only thing is the date code. Also, it has no engine designation, only the 350 V8 code. It has the typical windsheild leak rust and the VIN is illegible.

Any light on the subject? He is asking $750 for the above car (very limited rust) and a parts car to go with it (pretty bad shape, possibly a junker even).

NOTE: There is a very faint outline of a Georgia State Patrol sticker on the windshield - is there any way to tell if this is a COPO other than the VIN?

I highly suggest visiting www.nastyz28.com for any information. You can either decode the tag on the site, or ask away on the message board. It is all dedicated to the 70-81 Camaros. You should be able to find any information you want there. Then again, they do tend to know too much about 2nd gens there.....

If the body is in good shape, buy it. Esp if there is a parts car to boot.

1970 camaros are sweet especially for that price. If it comes with a title and its not stollen buy it!
