Default Re: L89 Resto!!

OK some of the codes are obvious like the M21 and the D80, The 222 and the 34 are easily readible but the others I have questions, The V37 is clear but is it a V or not? the N10 is not real clear and could be somthing else? above the V37 is a large O and K maybe there is a set on the drivers lower cowl also

We would like to share this info with true supercar fans and hope it would not be used in a negative manner, It seems all these cars were different and alot of marks could be meaningless and random, I would like to thank all ahead of time. Any thoughts on the markings would be great!!

Here are a couple of guesses:

2 2 2 is actually Z22, representing the RS option

N10 is dual exhaust, could the 0 0 8 represent NC8 chambered exhaust?

34 might be for N34, wood grain plastic wheel?

The V 37 looks more like 437, which could be short for 12437, V8 coupe not 6 cyl coupe 12337 ?

Or could it be a Y 37 (don't know what that would be)

Just a few guesses..
-Sam

Yup, I'd say that is a Z22 for RS and That could be 437 also. The 34 is alone though, Very cool.. Thanks, I think Mark is right about the vinyl top code also. I'll dig up some more pictures

The V 37 could be VE3 for endura bumper, also check for the number on the interior top side of the heater box in orange crayon. It may match something on the firewall..BKH

Interesting stuff!! You are right about having the camera to document these details. One of my L78 Novas had the letters VL78 written on the firewall. FYI...N10 is dual exhaust on a Nova don't know how that relates to Camaros. Good luck with the project.TW

Excellent pics, the previous interpretations make sense, and we've seen most of them on Frank & Caleb Arones C-Yellow COPO Camaro. The V37 code could possibly refer to the vinyl top (V), with the 37 indicating the color of the top?

Great, That make sense. I don't know why they would need N10 and 437 on a steel body, V37 for the top though would let them know that the finish on the sails only needed to be prepped so far and the trim studs for the mouldings may have been installed at the Fisher plant... I will post some more pictures tonight

The N10 is a necessary code to write on their as well since the body needed the extra plate welded onto the driver's side rear frame rail.
