124379N608881

Reported VIN is for a Camaro built at the Norwood, OH plant on or about March 5, 1969

Car has an 04L body tag from a car built April 30 or May 1, 1969.

One or both tags may not be original to the car; hidden VINs may not match.

I just picked out a font years ago that Mason Row PEGz had available at the time. It is not exact, the 6 is different. I've been in the lettering, graphics, custom paint and auto restoration biz forty years, and used a color I had in stock. You can use anything at the hardware store or buy an ink that's close. Doing the stamp is ridiculously easy. Maybe you can find a stamp company with the exact font or have one made if a judge is going to fail you for a slight difference. Not sure if everyone who restores a wiper motor is adding the stampings...I never looked.

What is the font called?

Great question!

Does anyone know the font type?

What about the ink color?

Since this was posted I now have 128 of the 133 cars used at the track, with an NCRS report for each of them (I also found every 94 Cobra and found there were 1002, not 1000!). Still deciding what to do with the information-publish it or just have people send a VIN to confirm.  There is much to be said about both ways. Thanks for the link-I've seen it already. Here is my Facebook group onthe cars with plenty of information.

If you have a VIN you can send it to me via email or Messenger (from facebook) and I will tell you if I have it or not. I am working with NCRS to get the missing five cars, and hope to have everything finalized in a few weeks. It was a long and expensive project.

My email is tbenvie at comcast dot net.

Is there any way to be able to access the 1969 Camaro festival car list? A friend of mine has a Z11 and someone told him it was a festival car and he asked if I could help him find out. I appreciate anything anyone can do to help me in advance!

Hi, yes the system is completely new and runs correctly.
But the end stop is not correct. I have now read here on this site that the repro vacuum canisters are not 100% accurate, the push rod is said to be 3/8" too long. So some people have moved the holder of the canister a little

These systems are pretty straightforward,  so if the engine is running there should be enough vacuum to move them
 I know this might seem trivial, but awre the hoses hooked up correctly?

Thanks gentlemen,

I've seen a few that look like that but they look very different than mine so had not ordered one.

I'll get one and report back.
