(1) Chevrolet's published figure for the 1969 model year are 243,085 units and this includes export totals. The 1969 model year was extended to November 1969 at Norwood due to production delays with the redesigned 1970 Camaro.

Caveats and Disclaimers:

The numbers shown are reported last VINs from each plant per month. The numbers above those in red are instances of matching VIN and Fisher Body plates to show VINs/body dates outside the published numbers. The Fisher Body Number plate build week may not match the calendar week; meaning an example body date of 04A may not be the first physical or even calendar week of April. Productions are scheduled well in advance of actual build date and given it takes 3 to 4 days to physically build the car once it is scheduled, you can see where the body date will not always match up with the VIN sequence. Obviously the body plates, and the associated information, are stamped when the cars are scheduled, not as they roll by a particular station. Cars with 04A body dates may run into week 04B of production. GM wouldn't just toss out the existing body number plates with 04A just because the car didn't physically get completed until the following week.

Camaros were not necessarily assembled in VIN order. Often customer ordered Camaros were given priority over dealer stock Camaros. If Fisher Body had, say, 50 Camaros built and in their body bank and the plant received customer orders that matched some of those in color and Fisher Body options they would get 'pushed' to the front of the line to move to the Chevrolet Motors assembly side of the plant and sequenced accordingly. The build date on the Fisher Body Number plate is when the body was started and would be attached 3 to 4 days before final assembly began at Chevrolet's assembly side of the plant.

In reality, don't place too much emphasis on the body date as opposed to the last reported VIN for a given month. The anomalies shown are shown for that very reason. It does happen and that should not be a basis for worry that your car may have had the body plate (trim tag) and/or VIN altered.

If you have trim tags/VINs plates with dates and sequence numbers that don't fall into the range of those shown below, please email me the trim tag and sequence number and I'll post the oddity. Email it to me via my contact page.
