Oh, noooooooo!!! Please don't crust her, just keep the shell in the drying storage till you finding a good one without original title so you can take that vin #'s tag off and put it on another '67 Firebird or Camaro will saved her life if you still have original title from that restorable car. I've heard many people can swap 1st gen Camaro and Firebird vin #'s tag into each of that car, it's all the same body shell and year, except rear tailight panel, rear side panels and front end. It's pretty hard work to cutting the Camaro panel parts off and putting on NOS or original used panels then welding them around and then put your Firebird's original vin #'s tag into a Camaro is legal if that year is the same as another one.
This is my old pic of '67 1/2 Firebird (7/27/67) w/ '74 Pontiac 400/400 on Jan 1st, '90. She had original Tyrol Blue Ext. with Std. Dark Blue Int., 326 2bbl, 4spd, 2 traction bars, 1 of 6,078 built in '67. I'm the current owner of '67 Firebird 400 coupe with original code F-400 Option, 1 of 22,636 built in '67 with rare T400. My brother & I picked her up and brought her to my new home. It's original eng. & trans. are long gone. Has factory K-Gulf Turquoise under primer, had Ivory vinyl top. Has factory RH traction bar w/ 3.08 gear, J-custom option with original Deluxe Parchment Int., has rare fold down rear seat. I'll look for a good running '67 400/400 when it's done.
