Okay here goes: Looks like a 67 Camaro tag

12367 = Sport Coupe, Custom interior
NOR = Norwood, Ohio assembly plant
128802 = Body seq number
765 = Black Bucket Seats
z = Custom Bucket Seat Trim
EE = deepwater Blue paint upper and lower
E = tinted windows (all)
L = Fold down rear seat
2LG = Center Console w/ 4spd floor shifter
3SL = Rally Sport (Z22) Interior Decor (Z23)
4N = SS 396/325 hp

Door Tag
1 chevrolet
2 Camaro
43 8 cylinder Hardtop
7 2 door coupe
7 1967 Model year
N Norwood Assembly plant
229411 = Unit number, the 129,411th unit
I believe with that VIN your car was made in June of 67 ( judging by the unit number)

Hope this helps, Looks like you have a keeper
67 RS/SS 396 Camaro

Jonesy's decode was correct. Your car was a RS/SS396 325 hp 4speed originally.

If you post the #'s on the engine pad on the front of the engine block, pass side, we can tell you what the engine is. Should be 2 sets of #'s stamped there.

Also, could you post the date code from the trim tag, should be 05C, 05D, or 06A?
Any other options on the car?

thanks kurt..as far as the tag codes I got as far as the body seq#...after that I was lost. My interest was the engine as I bought the car with a 327 but do have the #'s match 396. I will pull those #'s and let you know.As far as the date code, thats a that looks like 05E E. What other options am I looking for? You tell me and I'll tell you.. The engine block casting # is 3902406 the block itself was never stamped on the left front of the block.. Need any ideas on that...thanks for the response any help is appreciated

The casting number for a 67 396 Camaro Block is 3902406, so it could be the original block. The reason why no numbers are on the pad in front of the pass side head is because this engine probably had work done on it and was decked by a machine shop. One thing you could do is find the casting date of the block and see how it corresponds to the build date of the car. Your car was made the 5th week of May, so your block should have a casting date prior to this. The casting date is located on the rear bellhousing flange. It should look something like this E 5 7 (May 5th 67). If you have any other engine parts, they could also be dated. Intake, heads, exhaust manifolds etc.
