there's a camaro i'm looking at buying at an auction and this auction site will give you part of the VIN # so can someone tell me what this part means, maybe the engine??? it's a 1969 with what looks like a 4spd with bucket seats but here's the numbers 124379N6030 thanks A LOT!!!

 

It decodes as a Chevrolet Camaro, V8, Coupe, 69, built in Norwood, And the rest is the serial number. What you really want to look at is the cowl tag. Get the numbers off the tag, and we can decode the options.

Here's the breakdown for VIN decoding.

12ebbyaxxxxxx

where
1 = Chevrolet
2 = Camaro
e = 3 for 6-cylinder engine, or
4 for 8-cylinder engine
bb = 37 for coupe body, or
67 for convertible body
y = 7 for 1967 model,
8 for 1968 model, or
9 for 1969 model
a = N for Norwood, OH assembly, or
L for Los Angeles, CA assembly
xxxxxx = vehicle serial number sequence

At each plant, the vehicle serial number
started the year at the following number:

100000 for 1967 models
300000 for 1968 models
500000 for 1969 models

 

thanks, that helps!
