(2) CRG isn't clear at this time how a 1967 "stripe delete" car was marked. Stripe delete was considered "special paint" in 1968-69. (3) In 1967 only, a dash can follow the standard option codes at the bottom of the cowl tag. This dash may appear by itself or it may precede a Fleet & Special Order (F&SO) code. This dash has been observed on all known special paint cars. It is believed that this dash indicated that there were special instructions (the F&SO paperwork) available for the vehicle. The dash would also be on vehicles ordered as part of a fleet. |
1967: 5900AA TUXEDO BLACK 1968: 5900AA TUXEDO BLACK 1969: 5910AA TUXEDO BLACKWhile the "900 code" in 1969 was 910, and the cowl tag code was also a 10, this appears to have been coincidence, or at best, an isolated equivalence. As you can see from the table below, no other colors had this equivalence in 1969.

3 or 4 for standard Camaro 5 or 6 for deluxe CamaroThe actual forms, as executed on the VIN plate and cowl tag, were subvariants of this more complete version. On the VIN plate, 3 and 4 were used on the VIN to indicate the number of engine cylinders - with no indication of interior. In 1967, the first year, Fisher Body used 4 and 6 on the cowl tag to denote standard or deluxe interior. The original plan in its entirety was probably the following (though we have only incomplete documentation of this final version):
3 = L6 standard 4 = V8 standard 5 = L6 deluxe 6 = V8 deluxeWe don't know at this time why this format was not followed in full.
