Decoding/Numbers / COWL TAG HAS ME PUZZLED.. Is it worth while?

« on: April 11, 2006, 01:38:58 AM »

A few years back, I was driving by a metal recycling yard and noticed a Quater of a 69 Camaro sticking out of a pile of metal, a few days later my dad went to investigate and ended up talking the people out of the car.  It was a freebie. With one 1969 Z28 (X77) that has been in the family for almost 30 years almost road ready again, I have started fixing the "problems" on this car, before doing any research on it, I cut the roll cage out had the Quaters and rear filler replaced, ( still need doors, hood trunk and floorboards maybe dash, although it looks fine right now.  The car was mostly gone. No grill, transmission, interior, etc.  I was going t build a Pro Street style car, but stumbled on this site looking for parts and wanted to know what this really was originally, the cowl tag however has thrown me for a loop..  I have correct casting heads and a couple of large journal 302 cranks, a M22 and a M21 4 speed for a build ( no block) ( not sure on dates on any of this),  I would like opinions on whether it would be worth putting the $$$$ in the car to put it back together or cut it up for a toy car.  The cowl tag is as follow (NO TYPOS) the 5OR is what has me puzzled:

ST69   12437   50R124575BDY
TR     727           71  71    PNT
       09D             X33D80

Thanks!
