1969 Z28 dates

[Ngtflyr]

My certified Z was built March 3rd week and the vin was stamped on the stamp pad. An small block RS I had was a Jun build and stamped down by the oil filter. JM would know the timeframe to the gnat's a$$ when the switch was made.

I read somewhere they started at the pad first,then went down by the oil filter and back to the pad again at some point with the LA built cars,is this true??

03D Van Nuys VIN on pad

[camaromb]

01B LA built vin stamped by the oil filter, 03B vin stamped on the pad. The LA plant used both locations for vin stamping prior to April '69. Has anyone seen an LA built small block with a vin on the pad later than March '69? I think Charlie had an early (Sept. '68) LA built Z that was vin stamped by the oil filter. The LA plant couldn't make up their mind where to stamp the vin it seems.

My LA Z is 04C and is stamped with the vin on the front pad.

[69L78]

My 04L Nor JL8 Z/28 is by the oil filter and yes it is stamped 04L.

My 02D Z/28 NOR car vin is by the oil filter - same for my 69 yenko camaro - 02D car as well
