Default Re: ZZ code on 1969 Camaro Z/28 trim tag

[ QUOTE ]
Its a real tag, the ZZ is done from behind, but it wasn't done on the same machine that did the rest of the trim tag data. The font is a little taller than the rest, and there was no provision in the tag machine to place characters in that location. The ZZ letters aren't as crisp as the rest of the tag info suggesting it was done either before or after the rest of the tag data was stamped on another fixture or by hand. Don't know what it means or when it was done.[ QUOTE ]

Ok, Ive seen 1969 Trans Am Trim Tags, Ive seen Z10 trim tags, Ive seen 70-up era Z28 trim tags, and of course the documented 04L Tags on 1969 Camaros....But I truly find this one hard to believe! If you are suggesting it was done on a seperate machine, Where and Why did this take place??? For all the tags Ive seen in over 25 years experience, Ive never seen this one ever! And they aren't even lined up correctly! Someone here in the community should chime in here and give a final statement to this...please?

My 69 has black houndstooth and the tag reads TR X713; have no idea what the X is for if anything - error, slow day at the tag machine, etc.

On Your X713 on your trim tag, what is the date code from you tag?
Prior to this post, on the Z in the Z11 on trim tags, all that I have seen stay within the font size of the numericals on that line. The X codes Ive seen seem to move left and right of the NOR and on D80 cars, this seems to occur more often than I assumed!
Also, was looking at Stubbing's VN Pace Car and his P357 stamped on his trim tag is alike mine, where the P actually splits the N and the 3, and that continues for the 357 as well, splitting the spacing unlike most Norwood Tags Ive seen; The letter fonts and the numericals fall right under the letters above them, inline per se. Just caught my eye and I thought I'd toss this in.
And lastly, in that 67 Pace Car from LOS, that H that is up hi into the top row of beginning manufacturer's line of declaration.
I guess there must be more deviations with the strikings of these. From now on I will take more notice of this on the cars I look at!

I've got an image of an 08A X77D80 trim tag with a trim code of Z715. The font is identical to the rest of them on the tag in size and font, its just an extra character under the 9 in ST69. The TR code (the digits) usually starts one space to the right of the 9. It's a cowl tag from late in the 08A week (probably one of the last of that week), must have been a slow day on the cowl tag machine.
