Post by: CNorton on September 18, 2022, 03:41:55 PM: My '68 Camaro, former Stock Eliminator race car, carried Norwood VIN# 300200. If I remember correctly, the firewall date tag indicated "083". The paperwork indicates that it was taken off the street in about 1971 and was eventually purchased as a roller from a salvage yard in about 1975 for $400. The odometer in the car read 14,XXX miles but I could not verify that it was the original instrument cluster.

Body #2, so it was the second convertible scheduled. Loaded with options, including front shoulder belts.
Note the interior code, 712-E.

1967 interior codes also have a hyphenated suffix that indicate seat and headrest type:
"Z" indicated standard A50 Strato Bucket seats (no headrest)
"Y" indicated RPO AS2 headrest added to the A50 bucket seats
"H" indicated RPO AL4 Stato Bench seats (no headrest)
"T" indicated RPO AS2 headrests added to the AL4 bench seats.

What would the -E code represent?

Field E?

Yes. In this case, standard black bucket seats with head restraints.

Head restraints

I think it's the lack of head restraints.
Obviously some thought went into generating new codes, but they ultimately decided they didn't need the suffix.
