Kurt, Thank you for the info!

I've had for 10 years what I think is a 69Z.  There are several reason why I think that I do even though I don't have documentation.   I don't believe the trim tag was switched.

According to several resources, my car (11A (68) build date) should have an early trim plate.  But yet it looks like I have a late trim plate.  N535006

ST69 12437 NOR168192
TR 711  72 B
11A

Kurt any thoughts?

The size of the trim tag is not an indicator whether or not it's a Z. I've seen other 11A cars with the large trim tag, including L6 cars.
Hope this helps....

Kurt, I guess I muddied the waters when I tossed in the Z-28 part. 

My question was on the timing of the early trim vs the into of the late tag on Norwood cars.

By most accounts, my 11A car should have an early trim tag, but yet I have a late tag. From what Ive read ithe late trim tag was introduced the last week in November 68.  So this is just one of the unique aspects of car building in the 60's?

Would it be a suprise that the partial VIN is stamped down by the oill filter? I understand this was not done until Jan 69

Also, do you have any listing on my VIN? (N535006)

[KurtS]

I didn't have anything on your car.
Down by the oil filter is surprising. What's the engine date?

[rsatz28]

Kurt,

I have a 386 block stamped VI029DZ.  In addition, the rear end is stamped BU1022G1 E

[KurtS]

Thanks!

how about 124379 l519557

[KurtS]

No, some cars really close, but not that one.

Hi Kurt,

I have a 69 Z that I've owned since 1982, and I know is not in your data base. Do you want info to add?

[KurtS]

Yes, especially if you have any original drivetrain #'s. KurtS2@peoplepc.com

Thanks!

Kurt,

I have all original drive train parts. What do you want - casting dates, assembly dates, etc.? I can email a spreadsheet, or?

Kurt,

What about an 04C car?  How close was the drivetrain date codes to the week the car was made?  Thanks.

[KurtS]

Jimmy,
A spreadsheet would be fine.
Thanks!

Gambitt,
Like most of 69, close. Depends on what component, some are even closer than others.

[Gambitt]

Yeah, I had heard that...I might be wrong, but I think I remember hearing that distributors were much closer to the build date.  I am looking to put my car back close to original...and I located a C269 block, so I figure that is as close as I will ever come.  Thanks for the info.
