URL is https://www.ebay.com/itm/1969-Chevrolet-Camaro/153184815693
Full VIN not supplied but does state: 124379N580xxx
Seller's description:
Quote
For your consideration is one of my projects that I have owned for 11 years. This Camaro is a Norwood X11 V8 car with all its original parts and drivetrain with all its VIN#'s intact. It has never been disassembled and has all correct date coded components and hardware including its original T3 headlights and intact seat-belts. Comes with an original Z28 rear bumper with original Z28 tall bumper guards. I searched many years for this build date of 01B to match a genuine authentic X77 Z28 Cortez Silver trim tag that I have personally owned since the mid 1980's as a teenager. The X77 was a total wreck of a shell at a junk yard back then and was crushed. My plans were to build a Cortez Silver X77 to the genuine original trim tag that matches the 01B date of this X11 all original unmolested Camaro.

The Genuine original X77 trim tag decodes to:
01B = Built second week of January
69-12437 = Coupe
NOR = Built in Norwood Ohio
711 = Standard Black Bucket Seats
69-69 Car Color Cortez Silver
X77 = Z28 without style trim

The original to the car X11 trim tag decodes to:
01B = Built second week of January
69-12437 = Coupe
NOR = Built in Norwood Ohio
52B = Car Color Garnet Red
X11 = Style Trim Group

The car needs the typical rust repair prone to Norwood cars. Floor pan, both rear quarters, lower doors.
Comes with an original Z28 rear bumper with correct original Z28 bumper guards
I have a clean, clear California title in hand in my name with a NON-OP status and actual mileage. Text only if needed to 8one8-3eight3-5one8zero
Car is also listed local to me in Los Angeles and I reserve the right to end auction at anytime if sold outside of Ebay.
If you are a Camaro enthusiast then you know the possibilities with this restoration project.
Complete VIN# and X77 trim tag body number will be disclosed after a 500 dollar deposit is funded.

He forgot to add the part about then "selling the car for big money and prizes".  :(

Looks like the last 2 digits of the body number on the X77 tag could be 70.

And I think the first obscured digit in the VIN photo is a '4', making it 124379N5804xx.

To bad this car will likely never be 52 Garnet red again.

*as a interesting side note: it looks like it has an original heater hose bracket that mounted to the alternator.

 My bet - The floors are WAY too far gone.  We will never see that sad shell on the road again.

I agree.  I edited the first post topic line to reflect that, but not all of the other posts after.

Full floor could save this car.  Not for the faint of heard, but with a rotisserie and dedication, it could be done.
