A friend of mine has a '69 Z28 and needs help decoding the following info.

Here is the trim tag:
ST69 12437 VN 198108 BDY
TR725 65 F PNT
12B K656

He doesn't know what the K656 is...

Is the two VN letters normal? I would guess that's the assembly plant location.

Have you guys ever heard of a gold car/ black stripes with green interior?

Thanks for the help!!!

Here is how it decodes:

Decode for body number: 198108

12B = Built the Second week of December.
69-12437 = Coupe.
VN = Built in Van Nuys California.
725 = Custom Midnight Green Bucket Seats.
65-F = Lower Color is Olympic Gold and the Vinyl Top Color is Brown.
K656 = internal plant scheduling code.

The VN is normal, you might want to look at: http://www.camaros.org/numbers.shtml#CowlTag

Could you post or e-mail me the vin# for CRG's data base?
Thanks,

Not an uncommon color combo, gold and green, just don't see many that way now.

Esp with a brown top. That might look good!

If you could post the VIN, we'll make sure that it matches the trim tag.

Talked to him today.. Here are some more numbers.

VIN
124379L512922

Engine

Casting # - 3932386

Rear end

Water Pump

What do you guys think? Everything cool?

Thanks!

Theres a long time frame between the engine build date and the car assenbly date (2 months) but being a Van Nuys car I believe that's possible.. The rear is the same situation..2 month difference..

The rear looks a little early, but OK.
But the engine is earlier than I'd expect. Does it have a VIN on the block?

And is the code on the tag K656 or K565?
