1969 VIN Breakdown
Do not confuse the Vehicle Identification Number plate information with that found on the Fisher Body plate (trim tag). The series depiction on the VIN plate does NOT have the meaning as the Fisher Body unit number plate.
The Vehicle Identification Number plate (VIN) has similar information to the trim tag such as the model, year, and assembly plant. One difference is the last six numbers relating to the assembly plant sequence as opposed to the trim tag's Fisher Body sequence and the series will designate a 6-cyl (odd third digit) or V8 (even third digit) on the VIN plate where the 3rd digit on the trim tag does not. Beginning in 1969 the 3rd digit of every trim tag was set to the number "4" whether the car was a 6-cyl or 8-cyl car and regardless of standard or custom interior.
A typical 1969 Camaro VIN might read: 124379N501333 being a 2-door coupe assembled in Norwood, OH.
Beginning in 1968 the VIN plate was moved from the driver side body A-pillar to the forward part of the dash so the VIN plate could easily been seen through the windshield of the car. The VIN plate was riveted a special bracket with unique 'rosette' rivets.

Production Number
The sequential starting number
for the 1969 Camaro was 500001 at both Camaro assembly plants. Each
assembly plant sequenced Camaros of all series/models without regard
to specific series/models. For example, if a series 12437 coupe
followed a 12467 convertible, the sequence number would be one unit
higher for the coupe. It's also entirely possible to have the same
sequence number from both assembly plants with the only difference
between the VINs being the plant code.
VIN plate location
The VIN plate was attached to the upper dash on the driver side to make it visible to law enforcement through the windshield.
