marlin,

you are correct as far as i am aware, all of the camaro production in june was tagged 06A.

anders,

i am aware of an even later copo 06A car with a 664,xxx vin
that car had to have been close to the end of the line in june.

The Village Chevrolet COPO here in Sweden has a very early July VIN (6642XX), with the 06A on the trimtag. I thought that was odd, but Kurt Sonen explained to me that since the body was started in June it got the 06A.

what you say makes sense...

the copo i mentioned was even later, but still had the 06A
trim tag 6648XX

i would guess that perhaps the month end cut-off wasn't exactly precise every time

Kurt told me that the trim tag was put on the body 3-4 days before the VIN was assigned to the same body,which was done at the end of the line. So cars built the first 3-4 days in a new month would have a trim tag from the month before. That´s how it was if I understood Kurt correctly.

did curt say anything to you about why the june cars all were 06A?

No. I don´t think anyone knows for sure why it happened.
