Is this your car, or are you considering taking it on?

Rather than buy/restore such a rusty Camaro, one's time and $$ would be much better spent buying and restoring one of these 'exotics'... (less rust and worth more in the end).. Save your $$ between now and 6 Feb 2015 and head to France for the auction!

Is this your car, or are you considering taking it on?      It is among my untouched projects,  have most of the bolt on stuff, but the full quarters etc.  wont be cheap I know

Did you get the block or trans with it?

No eng. or trans.  I think the 12 bolt is correct and will post photos of codes and vin first chance I get. I do have the title and need to track down the guy that pulled a lot of parts to race it, long shot for sure,  as the seller I got it from was a serious Camaro-hound and knew a lot of these

Well never say "never". Enough guys locate an original motor to give the rest of the hobby with orphan cars hope. Think positive, hell check out the orphan section on here somebody may have already located it..

Amazing that a 1 of 400-500 built car could end up like that. Glad to see you taking the challenge! I might have missed it, but do you know if it's an RS/SS 350 or 396?

I was hoping the vin could divulge the engine can you tell on the motor mounts? they look different as the driver side seems taller

Unless you can find some paperwork somewhere, the VIN isn't going to tell you much. The taller motor mount is definitely a good sign that it's a big block. You'll have to dig deeper though because that's a part that can easily have been unbolted and replaced. There are a lot of excellent resources out there that are going to be more than happy to help you research what might have come in it. Check out the orphan section to see if by chance the motor and tranny are out there. It's a start anyhow.

Also going to try to find last owner on title, he is the one that stripped it, even plan on going to last address out in rural area may still be pile of parts... BTW read another post that you did a solid favor for another Camaro guy      salute
