Just wondering because mine says 05/1997


LOL after owning it for 5 years I never checked.

 

The VIN serial number of the last 97 Camaro was 160181, according to the Camaro White Book

 

Thanks I knew you would answer first.

My car says 151324 and you said the last was 160181 so they made about another 8,700 more then mine??

Can they make another 8,000 + camaro's in one month? I am guessing the last month for a LT1 camaro was around 6/1997 or early 7/1997?

 

I have a late 94, and the build date is July. If they built 60,000 Camaros in model year 97, they were averaging 5,000 per month. Its possible they built another 8,700 in a 2 month period.

Just providing you with the quantity produced. I don't know the plant schedule.

 

Any clue on the last SN of Firebirds?

mine's 2224865

 

It may be in the "Firebird Red Book"..... I'll check later today.

 

crazy mine was built may 1997 than sent to SLP on the 5 of may in 97. and mine is 151330 an was upgraded to an lt4 .

 

If I owned one of the rare (106 produced) LT4 SS's produced by SLP, I'cd certainly include that in my signature.

 

The Firebird Red Book only shows the first serial # for 96, and shows it incorrectly as "2100001". The erial numbers only started with 100001 for the Camaros. The Firebirds started with 200001.

Total Firebird production in 96 is 30,937 so the last VIN would probably be 230937

In the numbers 2224865 in your VIN, the first 2 represents the St. Therese factory as point of origin, the second 2 means its the start of a Firebird VIN, and 24865 is the sequence number.

 

I didnt know it was an SS let alone an LT4 until i called slp back in may, will put that in my sig though thanks. for the guy that owned the car before me had striped it and sold the hood, spoiler, and even the lt4. then he put a regular hood on as well as a spoiler and just threw in a regular lt1. found out it was real by just checking with slp(called because just thought i would check after getting the rpo list from the dealership that had all the right codes as being an SS) . talk about crazy huh, now i know why the hood was never lined up right once i bought it and why it was not white on the underside same with the spoiler. funniest thing was the rpo list on the door was painted over as well. just makes you wonder WHY whats wrong with people???

 

My 97 was built 12-12-96

huh? Mine's a '97... do you mean '97 not '96?

 

Wire must have got crossed on that one... those are 96 numbers, and the last year the Red Book shows production numbers.

Go to this site for Firebird numbers:

I've compared several sites, books, etc, and the production numbers are not consistant. It also appears that some years the VIN #'s are higher than the production numbers. Mybe they skipped some numbers. I know the above source shows 45,992 Firebirds in 1994, the Red Book shows 45,782 but my very late 94 Formula has a VIN in the 50,000's.
