69 RS/SS 396/L78 Camaro
« on: July 16, 2007, 07:03:52 PM »
My 69 Camaro L78 has a date code of 04L on the trim tag. Does anyone know anything about this date? I have heard there are some 04L out there but what does it mean? Anyone else have an 04L Camaro?

Theres at least a couple of thousand of them out there.  I've got an 04L pacecar but its a 350/TH350 car. No one has figured out the significance (if any) of the L date code.  The tags should have been 04D.  Old speculation is that the D stamp was broken so they used L, but why wouldn't they have used E instead?
