Re: 1969 camaro serial number

You can't tell much from the vin, other than the last several #s should match the ones stamped on the engine pad to verify engine originality. You need to look at the body plate on the firewall. Codes on there will give you trim, paint, etc. Depending on where it was built and when, it can even tell you if it's a Z28. Info on decoding can be found at camaros.net, a 1st gen specific site.

Re: 1969 camaro serial number

Vin code doesn't tell a lot. The older cars have all the important information on the cowl tags like the new cars have an RPO list.

12337n540445

1 = Chevrolet
2 = Camaro
3 = 6 cylinder with standard interior
37 = Sport Coupe
N = Norwood Ohio assembly plant
540445 = sequential number
