12ebbYPxxxxxx e.g. 124379N506070
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
P = N for Norwood, OH assembly plant, or
L for Los Angeles, CA assembly plant
xxxxxx = vehicle serial number sequence

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

100001 for 1967 models
300001 for 1968 models
500001 for 1969 models

The VIN won't give you the build date, but the trim tag will get you within a week of production. The upper left position (location A) on the tag will have 2 numbers, from 01 to 12 (January to December). And an A, B, C, D, or E after that..."A" standing for the first week of the month, "B" for the second week, and so on. Also keep in mind that the 1967 model production ran from August of 1966 to July of 1967.
