on the cal tag of my 69 camaro 3rd line down reads od vo85 for the date can someone help me thanks bobby

bobby, if your Cowl tag, (trim tag) is dirty, its probaby 10d with the rivet thru the (1) the V085 is Los Angeles (van nuys) only internal code in the plant during the build of the car, has no meaning other than which car that day to be built.

hey jim thanks for the help i think your right so now its 10d does that mean its built in oct 68 or oct 69?

what is the VIN? that will help tell if its Oct 68 or 69.

If its a VN/LOS car, then it will be Oct. '68 :thumbsup:

Egg-zactly. ;)

In for the rest of the #'s.

yep :) there were no 10d 1969 camaros built in Oct of 69 in LA :)

so the vin is 124379L505xxx so i think im getting it, it is the #5xxx 69camaro z28 built in oct 68???

The reason the guys know it has to be Oct 68 is that Los Angeles stopped building 69 Camaros a couple of months before Oct 69. Production was shifted solely to Norwood.

I believe the CRG has a sheet that shows VIN numbers against Julien months, but I can't seem to locate it.

bobby, its the 5xxxth Camaro built, not the 5xxx z28 built. There are no records that tell exactly how many Z's or SS's or RS's were built. Just cumulative info. by the VIN number and Body number.

The VIN should be right around L505450.

And Jim (click)... the car is the 5xxx'th CAMARO built.... not Z/28. ;)
