Hello, I have a 67 SS that I would like some help decoding. It's suppose to be an RS/SS but I think it was made to be the RS part. Here's the numbers Vin reads: 124377L164097
Block reads: L7164097 VO623MU
Trim reads:
07A C607
ST 67-12637 LOS-20787 Body
TR 742-Z R-R Paint
E 2EMG 3SK
4P
I also have the protect-o-plate in a safe deposit box that I will copy tomorrow if it will help with additional information.
any input will be greatly appreciated.

The POP will help a lot.

1 = Chevrolet
2 = Camaro
4 = 8-cylinder engine
37 = coupe body
7 = 1967 model year
L = Los Angeles, CA assembly plant (Van Nuys)
164097 = vehicle serial number sequence

Decode for body number: 020787

07A = Built the First week of July.
67-12637 = Custom Interior Coupe.
LOS = Built in Van Nuys California.
742 = Custom Red Bucket Seats.
Z = (A50) Strato Bucket Seats.
R-R = Car Color is Bolero Red
C607 = internal plant scheduling code.
Options:
1E = (A01) Tinted All Glass
2E = (C60) Air Conditioner
2M = (M35) Powerglide Transmission
2G = (D55) Console front compartment
3S = (Z23) Interior Decor group
3K = (Z21) Deluxe exterior trim
4P = (L48) SS 350

Thanks for the info, I will get back with you tomarrow with the POP.
Have a good one.

3L is the RS code that is missing from your cowl tag. Roger

The car is not an RS smile.gif

A 1967 block with a partial VIN???? I thought those didn't start appearing until 1968?
:confused:

Didn't get to the bank for the POP numbers today, I apologize for my ineptness. 1st on the list for Friday. Thanks for the rest of the info though.
Did the 67 block not have partial Vin numbers ?
Maybe these casting numbers will help
Block casting:
3892657
13GM

manifold casting:
3905393
GM
T
J186

Some of the lower performance engines in 67 often didn't get the partial VIN stamped into them(327's). But the 350 and 396 should have a partial VIN stamped in it.

MU 1967 and 1968 350ci Camaro 295hp L-48 Powerglide 4-Brl Hyd.Cam
It's the correct date for your car also.... V0623MU = June 23rd

Great, Good to hear that, will the POP have more info on the motor ?

U.S.,
If you haven't already, read The Camaro Research Groups information.

Yes, thanks for the info page, but I'm having trouble with sequence QSO621G, 331, and T7P30D. here is my P-O-P:
D RR 124377L164097 C
VO623MU QS0621G X
T7P30D 3 3 1 CHEVY EMBLEM
persons name
address
PHX ARIZ 8/31/67
Note: the 331 is directly under the Q,0,2

You have a 12-bolt rearend,correct? That's what the QS0621G code is for.

QS - 1967 3.07 open 12 bolt built June 21st at Chevrolet Gear & Axle.

The 3 might be RPO U63. Does it have an AM radio with pushbuttons and front, telescoping antenna? I can't figure out the rest of 331 either.

T7P30D:
T - Powerglide built at Toledo plant
7 - Model year
P - Month built: Sept. (??)
3 - Day of month: 30th
D - Day shift
The trans date says it was built in Sept. 1966, for a July '67 car??

HwyStarJoe:


Thanks Joe, I have been doing some more research my self and I think the 3,3,1, stands for N40/J50 (Power steering/Power brakes)- U63(AM radio) - C60(Air conditioning), But I still don't know what the (P) stands or in the T7P30D ?
:confused:

Oh, and by the way Yes, I have a 12 bolt rear end, and as for the radio, it was replaced with a sanyo sometime back in the early 80's, that is my quess.

The P in the trans stamping is the month it was built. Maybe someone here could shed some lite on why it's so far from the cars build date. I'm going to assume it's been replaced unless you can find a VIN on it.

The P on the trans code on the POP is probably a TYPO. Typos on POPs are pretty common, after the engine and trans was installed the codes were written on the broadcast sheet along with the VIN and sent to a clerk for input, so that the POP would be ready by the time the car hit the end of the assembly line. It was put in the glove compartment along with the spare keys. The code should probably be a K. Is the trans original? If so what's stamped on it.

No, that's the only part of the drive train that has been replaced. it originally was a Toledo powerglide, and some time later was replaced with a TH400. I am thinking of trying to locate a true numbers matching trany for this car. Would this increase the value of this car ? I also wonder if the tranys had partial vin # on them, because that would make the search next to impossible.

Most '67 trans didn't have a partial VIN on them (CRG) so I guess it wouldn't be AS difficult to find a matching Powerglide, but I'd be surprized if you did. Are you Irish?

.

No, I'm not irish, but I could use some Irish friends to help find a trany, I think that would increase the odds a little.
Thanks for the info, you have been a great help in further understanding the background and history of my camaro.
Long ways to go yet and a hole lot of money, but that's half the fun.

P = September for both Powerglide and THM350. graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Thanks Johnz, but That date make me wonder how a September Trany can be installed on a July Car. Is this part of the TYPO errors that Markc was talking about. I think all the other numbers seem to pan out except for that (P)
:cool:
