Default Help with '70 SS Camaro in Australia

Last year I purchased a genuine 1970 SS 350 4 speed Camaro. From what it have found out it was shipped to Australia and converted to Right Hand Drive from near new. It has a genuine SS,Hurst factory installedshifter, F41 suspension, Cortez Silver with a Black vinyl roof and black Z87 Custom vinyl comfortweave interior, correct L48300HP engine and M21 Muncie box with 3.31 LSD. Can anyone verify the following numbers and advise how many of the same car were manufactured? I would guess it is pretty rare?
VIN:124870N38563
E/No: TO501CNJ

there were 12,476 SS Camaros built that year, and there were 5,302 Camaros with the M21 (doesn't mean they were all in SS cars). really no true way of finding the actual numbers of that car unless it was built in Canada, because GM Canada does keep detailed records that far back

Thanks for the feedback. I agree with the numbers quoted as I have read them on the nastyz28.com site and also have similar detail from the MSA-1 decoding booklets.
I wasn't sure if some documents exist in the USA which would further define the numbers for colour/trim combinations etc.
Any help here is appreciated

I always try to use The Camaro White Book for my primary info. not a lot of info in it, but what it does have is pretty damn accurate

you really want to stay away from a lot of the unknown online sources because you don't know where those numbers are coming from. also, places like Wikipedia are usually not as accurate as people think they are, because facts on that site can get skewed just by a lot of people having the same erroneous info off of other sketchy online sites

hope that helped
