VIN vs Build date confusion

[R68GTO]

Recently looked at a 69 NOR Camaro with a 9N653XXX VIN tag and it had an 06A on the firewall tag.  Maybe I'm reading it wrong but the VIN sequence on this site lists that VIN as a May build month car.  Am I seeing this correctly?

Most people miss this, but it's important.

Thanks Byron.  I get that there might be some overlap from end of May to beginning of June, but with a 653xxxx VIN, that should land it in the 1st half of May?  My deduction is based an around 3,300 units per week.

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.

I remember reading somewhere.. probably here that all June cars were 06A and July cars were all 07A. Not sure if August cars followed that.

Maybe one of you guys have a link?

Aug of 1969 didn't. Mine is an 08E built 8/28/1969.....Joe

It's sometimes hard to follow but the VIN listed for each month is the LAST reported VIN of that month. Some months fit better than others.

Ive never seen a NOR 06 BCDE or 07 BCDE tag.. BM can you fill me in on this please?

Not going to discuss here in an open forum. Scammers are everywhere and they can read just like everyone else.

Fake tags are getting harder to spot because of all of the data being gathered.

I was a college educator for over a dozen years but I don't feel like teaching people everything.

BINGO! That's what I missed, the VIN listed is the last VIN.  All makes sense now, thanks William.
