just bought a 69 Camaro ... Strange trim tag , Can anyone help decode this for me . It odd...


ST - 69 12437 VN254744 ???.
TR 711 79 79 .
1D R566.

I haven't came across this before so any help would be appreciated. THANKS , JC

I know its 711 standard Blk int. 79 is Ralley Green and the car is originally that combo .
1D I know is JAN 4th week,

NOT SURE OF THE TOP LINE , and the R566 code ?????

 

wow , 152 views and no thoughts...

 

Line 1:
12437: Coupe
VN: Van Nuys plant
254744: Fisher Body number (has nothing to do with the VIN)

R566: This is a Van Nuys tracking code. R: Day of the month the car started down the assembly line. A=1st, B=2nd etc. R is the 18th letter of the alphabet, so the 18th day of the month.
566: Yours was the 566th car down the line on that 18th day.

 

Thanks for the info CAMARO 69 . I've never seen a " VN " in the first line ...I thought it was just N for NORWOOD or L for LOS ANGELES....

Were the a Lot of 69s with the VN trim tags ?

does anyone else have a pic of their VN car n trim tag ?

 

Good work, 69.
Hugger, you might take a read over at Camaro Research Group

 

The codes were NOR for Norwood, LOS for Los Angeles (Van Nuys), and VN for Los Angeles (Van Nuys). LOS and VN stands for the same plant, located in Van Nuys, they just changed the designation on the trim tag. "LOS" code was used until mid December 1968 production, "VN" code was used beyond that.
I don't know the breakdown of how many at each plant, or if that info is even available. It's approximated that 75% of all 1st gens were produced at the Norwood plant, 25% at LOS/VN. Based on the production dates; September 1968-November 1969, there would be more VN codes than LOS.
