Caveat Emptor...another repro body tag?

124379N656040

N656040 was final assembled on or about June 12, 1969. Body tag, such as it is, is dated 08A; first week August 1969.

Number on the tag is not consistent with production in that time frame.

I sent the Dealer a heads up with a link to the production VIN page. Lets see if he follows the link and realizes the tag is a fake.
1969 garnet red Z/28 46k mile unrestored X77
-Looking for 3192477 (front) spiral shocks 3192851 (rear)
-Looking for an original LOF soft ray windshield
-Looking for original Delco side post negative battery cable part # 6297651AV

My 69Z is an 06A with 6/6/69 final assembly date, body tag is 344xxx if this helps.

IIRC that all June 69 cars built in June have a body tag 06A? Has anyone seen any 06B, 06C, 06D, 06E trim tags on a Camaro?

All 1969 NOR June order releases were 06A, all July orders were 07A.

Was this related to the Norwood labor strike back then?

There was no strike at Norwood. There was a strike at Van Nuys April 28 - June 18.
