During those years they did put vin on frame on top left rear rail. They can be hard see even with body off the frame

No very bright these people some trying to hold the bus back at the side others trying to stop it from the front they never had their weetabix the day 😅😂😂😂

1960 Impala. My dad had one. It's the car that I had my first ride in coming home from being born. Dad had the convertible. We called it the Batmobile. It's a dreamer!

Looks like it has LeMans front fenders. You can see where the "326" emblem goes and the chrome fins where the GTO emblem usually goes on the front fenders. Such a mix! Also, looks like maybe the heads are later models, I can barely see the two digits on the center exhaust ports which generally denotes a 1968 or later top end. 65's had no numbers on the center exhaust ports, 66's had three numbers (i.e. 093), 67's generally had the 428HO "670" closed chamber heads, and then came 68 which started the two digit head numbers. Always casting dates on the heads and block for reference as well. Just a few tidbits of info I could see in the video. I would say that the body itself is probably a true GTO because of the three holes for the GTO emblem in the rear quarters. But the fenders are definitely LeMans. Oh and the dash...the only gauge cluster that had the "flags" were ones that came with the rally gauges, which this car does not have (neither did my '65). Also, check on the frame right under the brake master cylinder and look to see if it has the metal tab welded to the side of the frame and mounted vertically where the clutch linkage mounts. that would tell you if its possibly an original 4speed car (or had a working 4 speed at some point). The valve covers are definitely '67 or later. OK, EDIT: previous video does show the clutch linkage tab welded on to the side of the frame under the brake master cylinder. Also, the pedals...when a GTO was a non-power brakes unit, there was no chrome trim on any of the clutch, brake or gas pedals; when it had power brakes, it came with chrome trim around the pedals. Yours has no trim, which would elude to manual brakes (which yours has manual brakes). So some consistency there.

哦，终于出来了，

Ya points all her own..setin way up high...digin da 60 chevy!

Hello, thanks for the video. I would love to own one. How much is a car like that?

Never seen an Impala with a 6.

It's going to drive you nuts not knowing!

Call the State Police they can find out if it is stolen. I had a 67 Camaro that had hidden Vin # stamped on the firewall underneath the fan blower motor !

nice style n good ole six

Congratulations on the new shop! Now, get a wireless microphone that works😂

is that mustie? looks a lot like him

I don't care if it's original or not. Just build it into a tribute and enjoy😀

I'm pretty sure I know that car. I emailed you.

this could just as easily be a legit car with body pannels replaced the frame if like 57 chevies has the vin number but not the model i checked both of mine and they do match dont be upset as this car could be many swappwd parts long ago lemans are fine cars or possibly a stripped car that was brought back to life

I can tell you right now without any question that the vin tag you showed has been swapped out. GM NEVER affixed these tags with a standard rivet. The rivet used was a rossette style, or in other words, it had a flower shaped head. Someone pulled the tag and riveted this with a standard rivet. Also, the data tag on the firewall was a hollow rivet, I couldn't see in your video, but at the factory, these rivets were filled in with body sealant when they sealed the firewall. Look to see how these are presented. Also look at PHS, the serial numbers on the build sheet will have the engine serial number and the transmission number. The transmission will have a metal tag mounted on the side. Also, when the body is lifted off the frame on the rear drivers side, another serial number will be stamped on the frame. It can really only be seen with the body taken off. All these numbers should correspond with the build sheet provided they have not been swapped out. I firmly believe that you have GTO that, as you have said, someone stole the tags. As someone else mentioned, look under the rear seat and under the gas tank between the trunk. All cars had these build sheets placed in these locations during assembly, and these sheets should match your PHS and provide you with more clarity to what you truly have. It's pretty sickening that this was done should it turn out these tags were swapped. Do you have any ownership history that you could trace? Im sorta on the confused side as to why you didn't look deeper into obtaining PHS prior to purchasing, or maybe I'm missing the timeline sequence of events leading uo to discovering all this. I wish you good luck and hope you can get the answers from some of the things I have suggested to look for.

It's a Lemans if the frame is a Lemans. A good body doesn't make the car in total a good, it's a lemans.

Bought this bike brand new off the showroom floor in 1974,it was revolutionary - had an expansion chamber- elevated front fender - oil rear shocks - harvest gold color, it cost $1,299.00 in 1974 ..my favorite dirt bike.

I like the 66. Styling much nicer.

Shakin it boss! What about those new fangled radiators on dirt bikes? WTH?😉

Man, Pabst is so much better than Bud. Just sayin! Pretty little car. Lots of potential- just takes $ and time. Go for it!👍🇺🇸❤️

Stolen cars and rolled odometers were ABSOLUTELY common place in the 60s and 70s.

thank you so much. i was needing a body on heater channel and floor pan replacement video. i really appreciate how you videoed a lot of the teaching moments.

That generator gave me more anxiety than any of your "will it run" videos. I would have likely thrown it into the woods for someone to do a generator rescue video on it 70 years from now. Love your stuff. You help me and inspire me a lot with my vws. ❤❤

Beautiful car!

SWeet!

It's also really easy to take the swing axle out with just removing a few other bolts.

Honestly if you have everything unhooked the engines pull right out. I've done hundreds, hate to say but you must be doing something completely wrong.

Just found 3 1980 ct70s...got 2 running. Fun times 🙂

*IF* It's stolen does it get taken My dad had a 72 chevy truck in the 90's that was found to be stolen so the police took it but it had only been stolen like within 10 years. So *IF* yours is stolen will it meet the same fate or are the original owner even alive we're talking 40+ years & it's rotted compared to back then. (JUST A QUESTION & OR A WARNING) Because I don't know...

Don't feel bad, I was ripped off with a 68 Pontiac GTO convertable that turned out to be a Lemans. But hey, it was still a fun car. I have also seen 65 Lemans with the 389 tripower from the factory.

It's a good car. I wouldn't bogged down if it's a real GTO or not. At this point in time it's just a good car that needs some work to be a driver. If you're keeping it, just enjoy it and fix her up here and there as you go. As long as the frame is solid, you're good to go forward with repairs/restorations of the various systems, etc. Also get the VIN tag(s) issues figured out so you can register/title it.

gto? lemans? who knows? I'd be thrilled with either one. over the past 50 plus years dozens of shady car thieves, flippers, or dealers could have done anything to it. these days almost everything is a restomod or tribute. tribute= clone and clone=counterfeit. almost nothing is sure anymore. cars for an investment are almost always a losing proposition. the time and money involved in a true restoration with exacting provenance is astronomical. I say it's a nice starting point for a snazzy driver. keep it. fix it. enjoy it. and drive that f'er

If it's a real good the serial number will start with 242

Good dad. Get that quality time. Wish I'd had more with my dad.

they don't sell that any more

Ok now this is where you are wrong about at least one thing and that would be the lines in the tail lights the GTO and lemans both are the same ant the tempest only has 10 ribs only for tempest not lemans.

Wow!!!

It will be nice to know if you can locate the hidden VIN numbers on the vehicle at some point. I'm interested to see if it reveals it's a LeMans or GTO. I owned a 65 GTO before I was drafted into the Army back in 1972. At the time I was like the 5th or 6th owner of the car. The original 389 was gone and replaced by a 400 out of a Firebird. Someone had put a tripower carb set-up on it. From what I found out the car was raced a lot on the streets of Allentown Pa. I got rid of it in 1973 I had my father sell it for me after I got to Ft. Carson Colorado. Out there I bought a 68 Nova SS with a tired 327 that I rebuilt. Then later trade even up for a tired 70 Cuba 440 six pack car that needed a ton of work. Those were the days. I hope your ride is a GTO great story and I'm looking forward to the next part of the saga 😁

You could build one of these out of the junkyard in the early 80’s that’s probably what it is. 😊

I have an 88 and 89 square bodies for sale crew cab 4 by 4 3500 run the truck every day

Nice car, I love it, really! ;)

if it comes back as stolen say goodby to the car.if 1 the owner it was taken from is alive and had no insurance or 2 the insurance was paid to the owner. your best chance in that out come is 2 the insurance co wont care about it and you maybe able to buy it.

its not rocket science who gives a rats turd lmao 😂 its still a " Hot Rod "😂 haha

I'm going with your theory Jason someone took off your GTO VINs and added them to their LeMans. The PHS is just going by the VINs that are on the car now saying it's not a GTO.

The Lemans didn't have 10 ribs on the tail lights--it was the same piece that the GTO got. The Tempest had a 10 rib center panel and tail light lenses with 5 molded ribs.

😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

😂😂😂😂😂

it surely looks like a piece of junk to me.!!! Would not waste my time.
