Decoding/Numbers / Can anyone decode 1969 RS/SS ?

« on: July 20, 2006, 08:12:50 PM »

I am trying to determine if the 1969 Camaro I bought is a true RS/SS as it was advertised.  The VN is 124379L512641, which tells me that the car was assembled in Los Angeles and that it’s a V-8 Car.  I don’t have the original engine.  The car has an original TH350 transmission and 12 bolt rear end.  I have hideaway headlights which tells me that it’s at least an RS.  I have front disk brakes and rear drums, which from what I know tells me little.  Also, I had an SS simulated velocity stack hood when I purchased the car, but that is an easy bolt on.  The car has no special gauge package and the TRM is 711 standard, paint code of 5757 fathom green.  I am now trying to determine if the car is an LM1 non SS car or L48 SS car.   CRG notes that it is easy to clone a SS L48 1969 car, so I am a little concerned. Can anyone help?  If I can’t be sure it’s a true RS/SS car should I replace the current SS emblems with RS if I were to sell the car?  How should I market the car?   

Thanks
