Thank you for the information on the alphaumeric code, I will be looking at this car on Sunday and I'll bring 4 jack stands to get a look at the underside and check the #'s on the transmission and rear axle. I have a picture of the engine code but it is barely visible. I'll do some more cleaning and play with the lighting to get a better look.

Is there a picture of the trim tag or VIN plate? I didn't see either. The ride height is ugly as well.

As Bill stated loads of errors on window sticker, car shipper and dealer Invoice, all are repros. Additionally, you cannot order Houndstooth in a Non-Pace car convertible.

Wow that is an uncommon color combination! LA did not include any option info in the TT.  The E028 just means the 28th car during the E period (roughly a day I think).

The links on the main page offer a lot of info to continue with you decoding. You need to find all the numbers you can and post them up as well as pics of details to see how original the car is.

https://www.camaros.org/numbers.shtml
https://www.camaros.org/drivetrain.shtml

What I can see from the pics you provided is a VERY original looking and highly optioned car. Correct 4 speed shifter with correct ball, Console gauge package, deluxe interior, bumperettes, Looks like a small block (should have engine code HA for manual trans).

The car should have a 12 bolt (3.31 with M20 was the standard config), front disc brakes, 5 leaf springs, 4 bbl Qjet carb.

Start digging and take more pics   Congrats!

Decoding/Numbers / 1969 RS/SS cowl tag question

Last post by Nailhead - May 08, 2026, 03:41:48 AM

I am looking at purchasing a '69 RS/SS convertible 4-speed and I have a question about the cowl tag. I've been able to decode everything except for an alphanumeric code below the trim and paint codes, on the same line as the 02A date code. It reads "E028". Any help is appreciated. I'm new to the Camaro world but I have known about this car for 20+ years that has been sitting untouched in my neighbor's garage since the mid '90's. The owner recently passed away and I wanted to make his widow a fair offer for it but I want to make sure it's a true RS/SS and confirm the authenticity of the drivetrain before I proceed. Hugger Orange with Midnight Green int.

When my 11B 67 LOS was under restoration at a very reputable shop, I was told that mismatched shafts had been observed previously on 67 survivors.
