69=1969
12437=Coupe
NOR=Norwood assembly plant
?=Sequential body number
721=Medium green standard interior
50=Dover white
S=Midnight Green vinyl top
10D=October 4th week production

That is the strangest color combo I have ever heard of, it's got to be a rare combo. Do you have any other questions? Is the car still white with green top and interior, can you post pics so people can see?
X44=Base model car

John - what's even weirder is that it looks like there's more of that same general combo from near the end of 69 production. Here's a thread on a car that's darn near a twin.

My gut tells me that the green top was not real popular (looked at CRG for info but didn't see any), and maybe they were just trying to use them up at the end of production. It is not by far the weirdest combo we've seen, but it wouldn't seem to be popular for sure.

Eric-what is the strangest combo you've heard of? The pics are gone of the green and white one do you have any and of the really strange color combo?

I think the worst on the 69 Camaros has to be the Hugger Orange exterior with the dark green interior.

That's the combo I was thinking of. John, I don't think I have ever seen a pic of any of these, because usually they have been changed in the 30 plus years since assembly.

green vinyl top is and was more popular than you think. I have seen alot of 59 S and 57 S color combos.

Wasn't there a weird combo an a Z/28 discussed recently that the owner wanted $200K because it was "rare"? Orange/green.

Yep....totally agree with you. Classic reason to re-body a car. If it looks that torn up on the exterior, the structural underpinnings are likely even worse.

No always true. The quarter panels on my car were rotted off up to the top of the wheel well but the floors and underpinnings were in phenomenal shape.

Thats surprising. Good news, though. Its not too difficult to do fenders, doors,and even a quarter skin, but when you get into full trunks,rails,etc. it gets alot more involved.

How about the 67 Butternut yellow exterior with the Bright blue deluxe interior that was up on Evilbay a while back...trim tag was correct...that has got to be weird.
