There is no direct correlation between the order confirmation # [aka 'body number'] and VIN. For the '69 MY, Norwood and Van Nuys were on the same system and the number had nothing to do with when or where an order was scheduled for production. There are enough variables to make it impossible to reverse-engineer: dealer status, allocations, location, equipment availability, paint color. Dealers also ordered far more Camaros than the plants could build. The highest body number I am aware of as of the end of July '69 is N3768xx. Numbering started at 100001 so that means 276,800 orders were placed but only 200,282 cars were built. Over 76,000 orders were never built. The practice continued through November '69 when production ended. 63,400 orders but only 42,390 cars built.
As for the body tag on L528650, I am confident it is a repro. Like early Norwood tags, there is no build configuration info on Van Nuys tags. Not considered during a certification process. |

Agreed on body number. I still would like to see the report. Its probably fake too.
