Question: My 1967 Camaro VIN starts with 12337 yet my cowl tag shows 12637, which is correct?

Answer:

Answer: The Fisher Body Number Plate (a.k.a. cowl tag or trim tag) does not mean the same thing as the GM VIN series/body style number. Fisher Body did not care what engine was going into the car since they only built the body from the firewall to rear bumper. Fisher Body would need to know such things as whether air condition was to be installed, bench or bucket seats, standard or custom interior and any internal and external trim options, etc. since those items did require changes to the basic body assembly and those options were noted in the group option codes on the cowl tag. A "12437" Fisher Body style number simply indicates a coupe body with standard interior where a "12637" would be a coupe body with custom interior. On the other hand, Chevrolet only cared if the Camaro was built with a 6- or 8- cylinder engine regardless of options or interior type. So, the GM VIN will indicate either "12337" for a 6-cylinder coupe or "12437" for an 8-cylinder coupe.

Question: My 1968 Camaro trim tag has "T576" in the upper right-hand corner. What is that?

Answer:

Answer: Looks like you have a Fisher Body Number Plate from the Los Angeles, CA. assembly plant. Los Angeles stamped the production day and that day's sequence in the upper right corner; T576 ~ Production day (T), sequence number for that day (576) where "T" is the 20th work day of the month and "576" is the 576th Camaro scheduled for that day and would be reset to 001 if needed.

Question: What color were stripes?

Answer:

Answer: White stripes were either Ermine White or Dover White depending on the white offered that year. Black stripes were not done in Tuxedo Black. Red stripes in Monza Red. Nineteen sixty-nine Hugger Orange. See the stripe color/body color page for more.
