I wouldn't mind knowing the name of this prominent GTOAA person.

The person who initially asked for help ID'ing his frame said that he had purchased his '67 as a project where the previous owner had replaced the original frame because the original had rusted out badly. So this person knew the frame was not original to the body, but he was trying to determine what year the replacement frame was made. That's when I chimed in to recommend checking the 8-character stamping, since the first character in that string is the year of manufacture.

At any rate, I just needed a sanity check to ensure that I was thinking about this stuff correctly, which it seems I have been. I'll keep the name of the other guy private as I'd rather not create a dust-up. He's a regular commenter on a few of the big GTO & Pontiac groups on Facebook.
