This one too:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Chevrolet...5fCarsQ5fTrucks

The VIN (listed) 124379N670533


The VIN is for 08A 1969, but the trim tag "body sequence number" is an 08A 1968 number. This cheater didn't do their homework.

Am I off base here?

VIN 124679N692929 is 9E for 69
Body number is 141356 which is 9e for 68 range




This car has the same issue of 9E tag not matching the VIN. Sorry folks...there were 2 9E tags that year.

I think this Camaro was built at the extremely rare North Branch, MN plant.

Nothing wrong here at all. BDY numbers were re-set to 100001 as of VIN N670xxx. VIN is in range for 08A.

I learn something new every day.

I'd like to retract my comments bout those being fakes, but the edit feature says my time has expired. At least you've cleared up the discrepancies, but my first post still stands.

Thanks,

Was X11 an SS code? I thought that it was just the style trim package that any non-SS car could get. Dash has ac vent, firewall doesn't look like it has the condenser. I'm no expert, but my guess is the trim tag is bogus.

Like William said: BDY reset. Here is my 08A tag with an even lower number:

Default Reset of BDY numbers in 69

Lynn,

That's a low one! Your VIN must be close to 124379N670000.

The reset is something that I didn't know and that's why I'm glad somebody pointed it out. I can understand why they reset it (probably to have a standard of always resetting in August), but without the VIN to match with the cowl tag the numbers can get confusing. It would have been less confusing and kept the numbers further apart if they reset on 07A. Plus I hadn't read about the resetting of the numbers before.

If I could go back and edit my previous posts on "calling out" the owners of those cars I would. I hope I didn't cause any grief.

X2. I never heard of it before either. Am I correct in assuming that these are the elusive "1970" Camaros?

Damn. Looks like the GM Photo Store doesn't appear to have the picture of the 1970 plated 69 anymore...
