I thought there was rocker panel trim on these cars as well.

Hey Hey, no rocker molding on a base car without trim package. You might could have special ordered that without a trim package, not sure about that. Most all real COPO cars were just plain jane but I have seen some real cars with trim packages and R.S. cars as well! Thanks Dennis Lasseter Jr.

Body sill molding was standard on all 69 Camaros.

Hello, are you saying body sill molding or lower rocker panel molding? I am sure you know that your RS car would have had rocker panel moldings because you had to have a upper trim code to have a RS but no base car without a trim package came with rocker panel molding as standard or that is what I was told by a fellow who used to work at Norwood and build these cars. I spent two great days with this fellow and we had a blast!! I always say, never say never though cause we could order almost anything when we were dealers back in the day. Thanks man, Dennis

Whatever you want to call it-the thin stainless strip the runs just under the doors-is standard equipment on even base models. You car is missing it.

I keep a registry for cars made in May, there is some strange things going on in May. Probably because Firebird production started in Norwood at the end of May.

I have one X33 car in my registry with VIN only two digits after this one with N644667. But the trimtag BDY number is 32836 units after this COPO. The Z/28 has 05C on its tag.

These two cars should be just after each other on the line with one car in between them. So what date were they really produced? There are no cars with 05B produced.

Mine X77 with 05C is 260 units ahead of this COPO on the line.

You are so correct! Strange things happened all the time that experts say, oh that ain't right, that is wrong,lol! Being a dealer during those times were crazy and I looked at these personally. We got in some Camaros with Firebird steering wheels and a couple with a Firebird emblem or two. Cars were great but quality control my butt! GM was not worried about crap matching, if it fit put it on! Lets sell cars boys!! Thanks for your letter! Dennis Jr.

A VIN of N644667 would have been final-assembled on or about May 14.

The 'BDY' number had nothing to do with production scheduling.
