Ah I meant the port of origin, and no that was just my speculation. Yes the kit would have originated in pieces from the U.S.

There's unfortunately not a whole lot of information about GM's Peru plant, but from what I can tell yeah I think they shipped most of the parts and the body from California and did the final assembly in Peru with local stuff like the tires and glass until 1970. Even with the canal it is way easier and more cost-effective to ship them from the Pacific to this day.

I know there are several engine stamps and I believe a transmission one; gotta go through the paperwork which has it written down.

It's a 10 bolt diff

Thank you all for the warm welcome! The way they did serials and VIN back then was...interesting to say the least.  The one under the windshield is 12437HP10350

The engine stamp (not pictured) is K0418TFTC9B161550

Hello CRG forum, around a few years ago I acquired a 1968 Camaro with a 350 small block engine and a four on the floor from Lima, Peru. The frame is in good shape, however lots of the rubber hoses and fluids have of course deteriorated over time; the last time this particular car was actively driven was probably around 25-30 years ago, though it does run. It has been imported to the United States for personal use, though I am having trouble finding people who would possibly have more information, as well as parts. The Chevy dealership nearby laughed at me! Lots of evidence of improvised repairs done over the years, as is often the case with LatAm cars in-general. If anyone has a certain specialty or more information on this pretty limited GM production, the factory itself or shops that specialize in Camaros on the East Coast please let me know!
