Title: Need help w/1968 Camaro Trim Tag
Post by: CStog on June 06, 2022, 03:24:43 AM: Hello - My 1968 SS/RS Camaro TT states it was built 10E @Norwood with a J2 Color (Rallye Green/Black Vinyl Top). I'm reading that Rallye Green was a mid year change over color but the last week of October/first week of Nov is not mid year. The 10E and the VIN match up per the charts. Did they produce Rallye Green @ 10E?

Repro tag?

I will be disappointed if you feel the TT is fake but the car puts a smile on my face. Runs and drives great. Don't hold anything back - I know you won't. Heck - that would give me license to eventually make a resto-mod out if it.

Post by: bertfam on June 07, 2022, 02:11:45 AM: Your car was on ebay back in 2009 and at that time it had the original trim tag (see below), which shows the car started life as a R2 code (Matador Red with a black vinyl top). Also note that the car wasn't originally a Super Sport or a Rally Sport as those were both added. The 396 that was included in the auction was an L35 with a partial VIN of 18N427572.

Post by: CStog on June 07, 2022, 05:30:07 AM: Thx All - I knew this crew would get me the answer (dreaded what was coming after researching build date vs J2). The car is a beautiful clone. The guy who purchased in 2010 and sold to me must have done a lot of research/work/detailing building this fakery! Excellent job. I purchased this car to drive. Runs strong, drives solid, steers straight and everything works. Payed a little too much considering but hey - been to the grocery store? Not in NOVA - I live in Ohio.

Post by: David K on June 09, 2022, 12:25:55 AM: I asked my 2 Falls Church lifers about this dealer, don’t remember it. Must have closed in the late 70s or early 80s. Still a sharp looking car.
