Decoding/Numbers / 4P 396?

« on: July 17, 2011, 10:44:26 PM »

 My brother is the owner of a 67 SS Camaro. According to the cowl tag, the car was a factory 4spd, basic interior, maderien maroon, with a date 10C (3rd week Oct '66). It has the 4P code, but no signs of the bracket to bolt the tortion bar to. As. Far as I can tell the floor looks original. Could this have been an early 396 car ? ( motor and muncie are now gone, unfortunately)

Is it correct to believe that van nuys cars were shipped generally to dealerships in the midwest and west coast, while Norwood coveredthe rest? Or did the cars go wherever according to supply and demand?

Wow, thanks guys. I'm sticking w/ the info on the tag, its sure to be done someday! Also, this may be for a different forum, bur underneath " dd" on the vin, there's a "037". Can I take this as "delivery date march 1967"? Cowl tag is 02B

Yes, after getting thru the ugly maroon repaint there was a dark green metallic, under that was the original marina blue and a black bumblebee. The vinyl top had been removed, but under the trim(which was left thank goodness) was the remains of the black vinyl that had been left underneath. Factory a/c was gone and the hole in the firewall had been covered with sheetmetal and riveted. I've drawn it out, and the blue/black/white combo looks stunning. Would something like this more than likely been special order?

I have a 67 rs/ss paint code F-2 (marina blue w/ black bumblebee) and a 797 interior code( deluxe parchment). I have never seen this color combo before. Any comments would be MUCH appreciated
