Decoding/Numbers / Re: VIN vs Build date confusion

?

The chart has a column headed 'End VIN'. For May at NOR, that's N650323. For June, N664008. That means all N653xxx VINs were built in June.

As cars were not built in exact VIN order, there can be slight overlap when Chevrolet recorded the 'last VIN of the month'. For example, N663998 may have built in July.

WT is the code for a 1968 Camaro disc brake master.

The block is obviously decked and re-stamped with the ZL-1 ML code. Full-size 425/427s were coded LD, LS, MD.

Block deck has been decked. ML is the 1969 code for a 4-speed ZL-1.

I have a db with VIN/body tag info on over 1,500 Van Nuys '69s. Less than 1% are black so it is wise to be cautious.

The body and VIN tags on L528219 appear undisturbed. The data is in line with other 03D builds. It started in body fab Friday March 28, final-assembled Tuesday April 1st. The previous Camaro VIN is a Z11. VN also built other models.

That video is several years old.

02D at Norwood spans nearly three weeks of production; February 19-March 14. VINs approximately N601539-614579.  There was no 02C or 03A. Approximately half of the VIN range were built in March.

Staring around VIN N608xxx, the db has several 02D Z/28s with V0227DZ engines.

That's an approximate location for the K66 TI ignition jumper wire.

How about some 'as installed' testing?

Coolant pump, alternator, air cleaner.

Remember, the body tag date represents when the production order was released, not necessarily when the car was final assembled. There is usually overlap at the beginning and end of each month. Some 06A orders were final assembled in July.

Norwood was shut down July 14-August 8. Guessing, they completed all 07A orders in the system.

For each date seen on body tags, there is also a VIN range. 07A represents less than 2 weeks of production.

That tag will only 'fit' a car in the small 07A range.

Looks ok to me.

I had a similar Z/28-not a paint/trim combo you would want to duplicate.
