What is the VIN? I've been looking for mine for 49 years....Joe

Same here,...owned the car for 44 years, semi-actively looking for mine for at least 30 of those years.

Although an 02 built block would be too early for mine, I'd like to see the VIN anyway, please?

Mine most likely was a 02xx or something close to that. Not always 1st in, 1st out.....Joe

Decoding/Numbers / Decoding 1969 Camaro Z28

« Last post by 1967CorvetteCoupe on March 28, 2025, 12:59:20 AM »

Trying to decode my '69 Z28 rear for a date.  It reads BU022G2   I know it is a 373 posi, but is the date February 2nd?  This is a Van Nuys car with production date 03-03-69 

Also the car has a M22 trans. I see P9B18C. I believe it means Muncie 1969 February 18 and 'C' for M22. The date is correct for a March 3rd assembled car. My problem is I see no vin number stamped anywhere. I think Van Nuys stamped them on top of the case, however nothing there. Question...is it possible it could still be original to the car without a vin number?

I updated the homepage pics today.

I plan to use Joe's 68 (user x66 714) as the next 68 and user t.r.gaddy will be the next 67.

Anyone volunteer to be the 69 for the next update?  That will be several months from now.
