Well it could be somebody's lucky day, I've owned/own a 67 SS/RS for the last 25 years. I finally decided to sit down and organize my 3 over-stuffed folders of receipts etc. I have gathered over the years.

While organizing the paperwork I found an unopened envelope that I had received with the original owners paperwork. I opened it and low and behold it's a mint condition Protecto-O-Plate. The Plate is still attached to original Chevy paperwork. This plate does not belong to my car and I am wondering if I should post the full VIN here or if that might be a no-no. If the car has survived I would love to reunite the P.O.P. with the owner.

Tried Carfax and DMV for VIN searches to find the car this Protecto goes with but they all run post-81 17 digit vins. Found another DMV search site, but I don't want to pay $25.00 just to find out the car was totalled in 1974.

So here is a partial 124377L1042XX, So we know a couple of things about the car V-8, 327, L.A., Couple. Could be an R/S, could be a plain Jane. The card does have that old school crush labeling tape noting Golden State Auto Leasing out of Los Angeles.

 

you might have better luck listing it here

is it for a 68 or 67 camaro?

 

I got mine, so it's not for my car! I've still got the POP, warranty papers, build sheet, manual, window sticker and pre-deleivery check sheet!

 

im missing mine for my 68. i bet it was with the preivious owner but the guys son stole a bunch of parts out of the trunk and i bet my paperwork was with it.

 

124377l1042xx = 1967
It would be neat to have one, even if it didn't match.

 

I found a decode site and this is what I got.


Black Interior Mountain Green Sports Coupe 327 Rochester Carb
Van Nuys - 9-20-66 327/210 two-barrel with PG and A.I.R. PW? 09-20-66 Chevrolet Gear and Axle September 1966
Toledo Powerglide (1967)???? Power Steering Only U63 Am Radio

There were a couple of codes that didn't exactly match-up, hence the ?'s.

I was thinking of tapping a car dealership since they run VIN's all the time, but I recently moved and don't have any contacts locally. I read somewhere that you can make a request thru DMV for $10.00.

It would be pretty cool to call somebody up and say, "Hey, I got your Protecto-Plate and it's in mint condition."

If somebody called me and said that, the next question would be How Much?

 

I also have a warranty book with protect-o-plate for a 1967 camaro , and other paperwork , I have the sale's contract / body broadcast sheet / original dealer invoice and some other misc paper's the vin to the one I have is 124377N144311
I guess I'll start another seperate post for it ,,, I am missin mine if anyone run's across one that's close to 124377N1259XX

 

also found,
1968 camaro convertible
124678N446579
found with all receipts

 

I am also missing the same thing.
