Ok thanks allot for clearing that up, i had read over most of those links, but i was a little confused on the "I", i did read somewhere that the letter"I" was used sometimes instead of a "1" but when it had an "I" and the "1" was used i was a little confused.

I am concerned that there is no engine/part vin below the engine code as well, does this happen often? i have read somehwere that sometimes they are down on a pad near the oil filter, although it dosn't appear to be there either.

The rest of the stuff decodes out spot on, but i need the engine number in Australia so i can register the car to drive on the roads. I suppose i can just stamp it on there?
Could you give an example of a correct engine number, so i would know exactly what to look for or stamp if i cant find it?

Decoding/Numbers / 69 decode

hi all im new in town and have just imported a 69 camaro convertible, now it is supposed to be a correct numbers matching car although im having a few issues verifying it, so heres what i have so far.

Vin : 124679N534829 (as stamped on the dash)

The only info i can find on the front of the engine on the pad is this code : VI10IFK (i assume there should also be a vin/engine number there to? The "I"'s have me stumped.)

I have the protecto plate that matches the vin and have attached an image of the cowl tag.

Any ideas? im thinking the engine might not even be out of a camaro at this point.
