Re: VIN sticker for inside door
 

Yea, I think you're right---you are referring to the blue square GM sticker correct? My'69 Olds W-31 doesn't have one. I kinda like them, but technically I think that they stopped in '68. I put one in my '72 442 just 'cause I had some new ones, but the jury is still out on whether it stays or not.

Its called a Federal Safety Certification Stickers or Nadar after Ralf Nadar. Required on 1970 model year and later vehicles. No speculation needed.

Hello Nova Jed,

VIN Certification Labels were first in the 1970 Model year as per federal regulations. (late 1969 Camaro was considered 1970 Model year for regulation purposes since they were made after the normal model switch date.)

Look at the metal on the door. There is embossing that was added above and below the VIN cert on the 1970 Model Year Nova. This embossing would not be there on an original 1969 Model Nova door.

Be interested in any late 1969 and early 1970 Model year VINs to see if is was a soft switch or a hard switch of the door stamping.

If you are looking at the VIN Certs repops keep in mind most of the typed in information just just not look right. There was also a difference in the type face of the printer between plants.

Let me know if you need one closer to the originals.

PS Did I ever ask you for is you 1970 have Welded on or Bolted on door hinges?
