Smile 70 Camaro L Vin 00001

Anybody see this on Ebay?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT

How does the VIN correspond with BDY number, and looks like the build date is 02D, was this later than NOR cars started production? Not going to buy it, just wondering.

Interesting car, with an 02D build date and the trim tag looks to me like it says it was built in Baltimore (BL)? What gives?

I also posted on nastyZ28, and a member there has L500030 with build date
01A??????????

Canada export maybe?

Excerpt by CamarosRus at NastyZ28:
"This is a very strange perplexing situation........As Bob stated above the first L.A. Camaros were built in January, his being the 30th car down the line the 1st week of January 1970.
How this EBAY CAmaro has a Number ONE built vin tag and a 02D (4th week of Feb ) Trim Tag is way beyond my comprehension.........."

Question Re: 70 Camaro L Vin 00001

Is it me or does the VIN tag in the dash look shifted? Anyone who has a 2nd gen car take a look at your VIN tag and see if the gaps are the same around it? It may be alright, but looks fishy to me.

Hmmm.....does any second gen owner know if they stamp the partial vin into the body like they do on first gen cars ? This should clinch it. Could take the gamble & buy it and if it turns out to be a fake then sue for false advertising...if it is real then restore it and watch it rise in value.

BL is not a Baltimore plant code, its for Los Angeles GMAD, used on all 70 up Camaro's and Chevelle's..

That car was on ebay awhile ago and it wasnt in the condition it is in now. It was a plain jane that needed alot of work. Thats what I recall from memory. It has been on ebay twice over the past 2 years.

I know some of you can decipher the VIN vs BDY number on 1st gens, and thoughts on second gens, and this car in particular?

There was some discussion about this car at nastyz28 and that the first run of 70's were sent to Smoky Yunick, but then someone else said those were NOR cars?

Any other info out there?
