Re: Has anyone ever found a factory mistake?
 
From my many years of 69 Camaros:

Custom interior rear trim panels on std interior car
Full dash woodgrain on a std interior car
Black D96 stripes on one side, white on the other
6/7 tach in a L35 SS
ZL-1 with an E78 x 14 tire pressure label
Missing trunk lid Camaro badge on D80 cars
Mis-stamped VIN tag ‘123339N’. I haven’t seen it but there is supposed to be a COPO with a convertible VIN ‘124679N’
Several body tag errors: build dates of 09, 051, 061, NBR instead of NOR. Convertibles with no X code are common.

That's great. Reminds me of the early 80's when a chevette rolled off the line in Oklahoma City with chevette emblem on one side and a Pontiac emblem on the other (T100?? - can't even remember the Pontiac designation for their version of the Chevette - or as guys at the dealership used to call it - the "shove it").

69 L78 chevelle block and trans were both stamped 4 digits off the actual vin

69 Camaro we are doing in the shop right now has a hinge bolt lying on top of the cowl under the top of the passenger fender that was caulked over and left. We left it there in place.

70 LS6 Chevelle with "ss" on one door panel and "malibu" on the other side.

I knew that there had to be some good mistakes out there, but some of these are more than I expected. Down right funny.
