Hello there fellow camaro enthuist
I have a car that I need help determining what kind of car it was/is. Vin number12437L504371.
Cowl Tag goes as follows:
St 69 12437 LOS 101162
TR 715 53 E PNT
10C L256
Block has 3963512 stamped on the back along with hi-per pass F8.
I could not see any numbers on the front of the block but there was a lot of paint and I will have to look again to see if I can find any numbers. Is there any other place to look for numbers?
Numbers on the heads we 3917215 with G 5 7 also on the heads.
The car has a 12 bolt multi leaf with 308 gears and m20 trans. I do not think the trans is orig to the car.
How do you find out what kind of car the LOS cars were. ss. rs. ss/rs? and what motor should be in this car?
This car needs paint ( no rust at all) and a little work on the inside but, smells nice.
Does any of this stuff go together and is it worth anything?
Thanks Sarah

Like early Norwood-built 69s there is nothing on an LOS tag to indicate orignal build configuration. The VIN indicates it is an 8 cylinder coupe [2437]; that's it. The original colors were Glacier blue with Parchment vinyl roof cover and blue standard interior. The car was built the 3rd week of October 1968. Big-block cars have different components such as heater, A/C equipment, radiator so those can be an indicator. The block was used during '69 but the heads are 67-68.
LOS-built cars often have a Body Broadcast Sheet taped to the top of the fuel tank. Condition can range from good to poor. Get the tank out and post the info.
A rust-free CA Camaro has plenty of value!
