Ahhh, now THAT makes more sense to me!

Based upon my knowledge , in theory, there would "APPEAR" to be hundreds of Camaros rolling off if you went by that!
I state that as when I did the math and the compared the #s and VIN's , for VN in that time, that would have this.
So there could be thought that 200-250 Camaros built per day?

To me that seems a bit high if you go by the # of units made in total, included in that total would be the Norwood cars for the whole years' totals!

Wouldnt it be more correct to state that there were about 100 Camaros built each day at each plant, roughly giving about 350 cars a month, ending up around 17,200 per Plant for Camaro's?

Was there any VN cars that had a number(not the letter) greater than "Example": I599 ?

Maybe that 250-300 units is right per day, I forgot just how many 69 cars there really were made

I've seen a couple of Camaros with w/O numbers as high as the mid 800's but they are by far the exception. Not many days go above the low to mid 600s. Of course thats not to say that there weren't higher numbers out there, just I don't have the info (and I only collect Camaro tag numbers). LA only built around 31,000 Camaros between September of 68 and the end of production which is essentially the last week of April 1969 when the plant went on strike (even though some cars in process at the end of April were actually built in June and July). 31000 cars over 8 1/2 months of production is 3600 a month, 850 a week, 215 a day (assuming 5 day work weeks). Norwood made the remaining 213,000 Camaros. Norwood made about 950 cars a day (at capacity) running two shifts which is roughly 4500 cars a week max, 18,000 a month (usually they only made around 14,000 to 15,000 a month though).
