Ok if i could please ask for help again(may not be the last time..lol) I have found a nice (looks that way) 68 r.s restored, bought of the org. owner and owned for the last 10 years by the 2nd, all pics of resto so they say. the only bummer is a powerglide(factory) no rear spoiler, rallys etc wadda think its worth, it appers to be a nice car. heres the cowl tag

108
st 68 12437 los 06186 body
tr 717 l-6 paint.

thank you so much guys!!

68 Cowl Tags will not tell you much... color,interior,and build date is and it. They won't tell you SS,Z,or the like.
For that stuff you need to have the DOC's,build sheet,maybe even check all the numbers. Good luck either way (and remember there are fake DOCs out there too)

Anywho... pics always help for guessing prices.

Decode for body number: 006186

10B = Built the Second week of October.
68-12437 = Coupe.
LOS = Built in Van Nuys California.
717 = Standard Blue Bucket Seats.
L-6 = Lower Color is Teal Blue and the Vinyl Top Color is White.

Pictures of it now and the resto would help determine the value. orig engine?? Trans?? Rear??

Org. eng, trans, rear diff. i gotta get the pic thing figured out, its hard to guess a price based on some words...lol...

No spoiler is a good thing. :)

Yes it is!!...learned that from the experts here!!....

Was this a Canadian car all it's life? If so, contact GM of Canada for documentation on the car. http://www.camaros.org/geninfo.shtml#MyCarHistory

Great link Kurt!!...thanks for all the help you have offered me in my little quest for a car.
And thanks to all the members here!!

x2

I thought GM Canada Camaros came from Ohio and Los Angeles supplied Western US dealers. Is this incorrect? Could my '68 "Los" Camaro be Canadian?

Apex,
You are correct. I missed that it is a LOS car. It wasn't sold new in Canada. :(

Wow I am going to mark my calender. Kurt made a small error. This does not happen very often. When he does we get to tease him. Thank you for all the hard work you do for Us Camaro guy's.

Y'all should see the marks on the calendar that my wife keeps.... :)

I am glad my wife isn't the only one that keeps a calander...lol...I always say when i am wrong, which is lots ( as a joke of course) that i was wrong once but it was a mistake...lol...

Another newbie question...Why is no spoiler a good thing ? Just asking because i'm in the process of buying a numbers matching 1968 SS 350....and it has no spoiler on the trunk.

Thx

Sorry, but i have another one i am wondering about the cowl tag reads
ST 69 12437 LOS 142907 BDY
TR 712 52 B PNT
11B K230

Thanks for your help in my never ending search..lol...also cars built in la can't be decoded as a ss or rs??

polite bump...is that rude??...

kelly, if you have a new car to consider with trim tag and VIN questions, start a new thread for that one. Its easier for folks to follow one car per thread that way. Info. on the RS option was never on tags or VIN's in Norwood or LA built cars. Some Norwood cars had X codes for SS or Z28. Spend some time at www.camaros.org reading their sections on how the tags work and you will get answers to those questions.

thank you link, i sure don't want to be a pain!!...thank you for the help and advise!!!
