Hi,
My 70 has a Texas reconstruction tag on the
driver's door frame and the sixth digit in the VIN has been changed to an
"R". I know that this means the car was probably wrecked badly at one
time or built from many different Chevelles (I guess that makes it a clone
The re-tag
probably means that it was stolen and stripped at one time.

I have the same on my 67 Chevelle Malibu. This is a political issue. Some will tell you that you build it the way you want. Others will say your trying to convey something that is not original.

Also, you can't compare the market of old corvettes to old chevelles. Corvette owners are all into matching numbers and the market reflects it. If you take a 1957 Corvette with matching numbers, re: 283 and 4 speed, it is worth $50,000. If you remove the 283 and put in a 396 you just cut the value

At least they built SS el caminos in 69. The 66/67 SS el caminos
