He googled the VIN and found a tag picture. You have a typo in the VIN.

It’s a 1969 Camaro coupe that came with a V8 engine originally.

Do you have a pic of the cowl tag?

What is the evidence?

Can you post pics?

Are the original engine, transmission or rear axle with the car?

OK, so what do you need to identify?  I am confused.

I saw that another guy got his vin  decoded so I thought my vin might have some info other than the basics.

In addition, your number indicates it was built at the Norwood, Ohio plant. To further pinpoint the build date, it was either the 1st or 2nd week (12A,12B) of December of 1968 and because it does not have an X code, 1st Week is more probable.

Estimate production date for VIN 'N553456'  to be 2nd work day of December:   ie.   3 December 1968  (a Tuesday).

You betcha - this car is about 320 cars away from my L78, a 12A car (non-X coded unfortunately). Also, unfortunately, in the middle of the NCRS missing dealer data. At least I have the original engine for a 500 pound P-O-P.
