Go to the link below, it's for Pontiac Historical Services. They can give you from microfiche a copy of the actual factory to dealer invoice for the that lists all the options etc. Unfortunately you cannot tell if it's a real 400 car from the factory without running the VIN through PHS, unless the guy has some dealer or factory docs like the window sticker or broadcast sheet.
Production Numbers for 1967 was for a 2 door cpe (22337) 67,032 units , 2 door convertable( 22367) 15,528 units. Out of those 18,635 were 400's. I have owned two 69 TA's with RA III and a 67 400 as well as a 69 400 great cars that run hard and look great. But as you can see in 67 they made 18,000 cars there is most likely more then 100 left. If you are interested in the car you better run the VIN through PHS. The last 8 digits of the VIN number will be on a machined surface on the passenger side of the timing cover. The VIN will also be on the passenger side of the trans if it is a manual and on the drivers side above the pan right by the transmission shifter cable bracket on an automatic.

any way to read codes from the firewall tag

This website has a wealth of info. Scroll about halfway down, and you'll see Body Tag FAQ's.

If the owner claims it was a 6 banger converted to a 400, be cautious. Once the PHS documentation comes back, and it's shows 6-cylinder, it will be very difficult to ever resell. If it's a driver, that's great, but if you plan on buying it, pay the clone price, not the authentic price.

Sorry, I meant to say "Dataplate FAQ's". Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.
