Up for sale, the first Van Nuys 70 1/2 built. Has some interesting numbers on the cowl tag. Built 02D

DATA PLATE READS: ST 70-12487 BC 08105 BDY TR 716 10 B PNT 02D 567986 270641

body number 08105?? Guess it clarifies when they started to build them, though!

I remember this car being for sale before. Back then it wasnt advertised as the first one built and I believe it sold fairly cheap. It is amazing that this car is in this shape and still around. It was in California the first time around.

I believe I posted when this car came up before.
#'s don't line up. I know of several 70 LA Camaros with build dates before this car. Tag looks fine for that date, VIN isn't.

Maybe the other cars you have seen where vined after this car and built before it? I don't know if that's possible or not?

Body tag goes on first. The other cars were built a month+ before this one.....

I assume 2nd gens have hidden VIN's. Are they in roughly the same place as the first gen?

Kurt- That would give reason why the higher BDY number. I had always heard that the 70's went on sale Feb 23rd, 1970.
