I am looking at a 67 GTA coupe. However, the vin number is 7R01Cxxxxxx. From what I understand is that all 67 GTAs should have an "A" in the 5th position of the vin. Is this correct? I am suspecting that this is a GTA clone and a factory GTA.

Didn't the "A" in GTA just mean automatic transmission? (A-code engine is the 289-4 barrel)
The "C" is the 289 2-barrel...which, for 65-66 at least , I think couldn't be a GT ...well a factory GT, I guess the dealer could make any V-8 a GT.
I thought they were either "K" Hi-Po 289 or "S" 390

Prior to the 67 model year, the GT package required 4V power. In 67 however, the GT package came with the 289-2V (C code) as standard equipment, with the 289-4V (A code), 289-4V (K code) and 390-4V (S code) optional. The O/P's vin indicates the 289-2V engine with single exhaust, which also means his GT should not have come with quad tips compared to 4V engines with dual exhaust, which did. This model year was the only time the GT package distinguished between the automatic and manual transmissions, with the GT designation having a manual transmission and GTA an automatic transmission. Hope this clears things up some....
