looks like his car was the last built before the 69 strike, and yours was the first built after the strike.

Often the COPO body numbers lag the "run of the mill" camaros and don't line up.

I believe I read here somewhere, that a car was assigned a bodynumber when the order was accepted by Chevrolet. So it would have little to do with when it was built.
Am I wrong ?
Experts come forward !
