Decoding/Numbers / Re: Build Sequence - Understanding the time line

« on: March 12, 2021, 02:08:53 AM »

Well that was quicker than I expected.  I just received my letter from the NCRS.

The GM official production date was November 29, 1966
The original delivery dealer was dealer code 127 in zone 42
The name and address for the dealer was:
Dorsey Chevrolet
Tekoa, Washington

I checked on the Internet unfortunately Dorsey Chevrolet went out of business in 1990. I’ll still do my best to see if I can’t contact somebody and if there’s any records at all try to obtain them.  Again thank you everybody for your support and providing the information I needed to get to this history. Very cool and backs up with the late November S/N and Fisher body sequence numbers.

Thanks for the reassurance on the color guys.  I will be honest and admit that I was not looking for a #'s car as I wanted to just build a fun project.  I recently retired, had just finished a '99 Jeep TJ for my son and was ready for the next adventure.  When this opportunity presented itself it was first one of my good friends (who I've helped with his '70 Buick GS Stage 1) in the past and ultimately my son convincing me this was some thing I should do.  So the adventure begins this spring, too dang cold to be working on it right now.  Again appreciate the nice feedback and camaradiere (are shall I say CAMAROdiere) of this group.

Thanks all, appreciate the feedback.  I just applied for the NCRS report so looking very forward to anything they can find.  I will report back on this thread with those results and most likely start another thread in the restoration section to further document condition and findings as I start this process.  Thanks again!

Hopefully this works.  Trim Tag, Engine and Tranny Stamp for the 124377L121495 Camaro.  Any further insight or recommendations for better understanding if this vehicle and its past would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the response Pete.  Not having much luck with uploading the photo.  Im trying to get it down below 200K with out much luck at the moment.  Also not familiar with the NCRS report so will do some research on that as well.  In the mean time if it helps, trim tag reads as follows:

        11B                            T712
ST    67-12637       LOS 8882    Body
TR    797-Z                   MM      Paint
        E 2LGR     3SK
        4P

I have used the resources at this sight to decode, this is a Royal Plum, Custom /Delux Parchment/Black interior w/ bucket seats w/o headrest.  Tinted Windows, 4 speed M20, center console, rear speaker, Z23 interior package, Z21 exterior package and L48 engine. 

I was thinking that maybe the Royal Plum paint code may have caused a delay if they would batch process the "not so popular" paint choices to limit change over?

Again thanks for responding and I will do my homework on the NCRS report process as well as learn how to shrink and upload 3Mb photos.

Decoding/Numbers / Build Sequence - Understanding the time line

Hi all, new member and first time Camaro owner.  Love this site and learning a lot.  I have been reading some of the great info in the CRG FAQ pages and in this forum and have learned much about my cars history.  Based on the VIN, Trim Tag and cast stamp decoding, I have a 67 SS 350 (4P) with a (P7R31) muncie 4 speed built Oct 31st '66, a 295H/350cid engine (VI1I2MS) built Nov 12th '66 and a body build out of Van Nuys the second week November '66 (11B, T712, LOS 8882).  What has me a little puzzled is the S/N sequence (my S/N L121495) in relation to the rest of the data.  According to the data the last LOS S/N in November '66 was L122251 in a month were they produced over 9500 cars.  That would put my S/N only 756 from the end, in essence into the 4th week of November.  My question is this, does it make sense that an engine that was ready 2nd week of November (11/12) along with a body sequence from the second week of November would take almost 2 weeks to complete?  Does the T712 production sequence or the 8882 help with understanding this?
