Something does not seem to be adding up here.
I think the 18N473159 partial VIN suggests the car was assembled in June. The last VIN listed for June is quite a bit later and is 8N482588.
So how can a V0711MO engine stamp make sense? The casting date - July 6 - does seem to match up with the stamp.

From http://www.camaros.org/geninfo.shtml#HowMany
The data for some months (especially May and June 68 at Norwood) deviate significantly from actual build dates, while other months correlate well.

June vins way off have one that vin is 4490** that is 06a build have one vin is 4530** 06b one owner car!!
-
Very interesting. I did not know about those May and June differences.
-
Lets be clear what everyone is saying...the CRG VIN time code 1968 May , Jun and Jul is way off.... sorry guys but it is...

IMHO - This 302 VIN and 07II dates line up
