As many car hunters may have seen, some people have converted Firebirds into Camaros. All it really takes is maybe an engine swap, and some NOS sheet metal, and your Firebird is now a Camaro “clone”. And, as you may have already known, Camaros are worth a lot more than Firebirds of the same year.

I myself am looking at 1st gen Camaros, particularly the 1968 model.
Here’s my question:
Is there a way to tell the difference between a 1968 Camaro and a 1968 Firebird (Camaro “clone”) via VIN or Cowl tags?
I’ve seen pics of Firebirds that are identical to their Camaro cousins, but there must be a way to tell the difference aside from the aesthetics of the car.
Just asking so I don’t get ripped off buying a Camaro that’s really a Firebird.
Thanks!
