69 Camaro decode help needed
a customer purchased a 69 Camaro convertible that is supposed to be a SS numbers matching car. he asked about doing a LS engine swap but if it is a legit numbers matching SS he will not do the swap. I told him I know Gen-2 Camaro's but I am clueless when it comes to a 69, The car has drum brakes in the front, I thought 69 SS cars had disk but I am not 100 percent positive about that. Hear are the numbers he managed to get off of it. The car is a 06A Norwood build and there are no X codes on the trim tag. Thanks..

You're correct; power front disc brakes were included with Camaro SS. An 06A SS convert would have a trim tag X code: X11 or X55 [SS350] X22 or X66 [SS396].
It is not an SS. |
does anyone have any idea what this engine and trans are? thanks...

The transmission you don’t mention if it is an automatic, but if it has a “pan”, I assume that it is? 1st determine if it is a power glide or TH350. Then, clean the pan more and a partial VIN may appear readable. A couple of other places the partial VIN may be is along the flange that bolts to the block and on along the area where the converter dust cover bolts to. http://www.camaros.org/drivetrain.shtml#PartialVINs |
Am curious about the lack of any X-code on the cowl tag.
Per CRG in the 'cowl tag decode' section: Quote:

Is it a L.A. or Norwood car ?

Norwood build, he is going to bring the car to the shop so I will take some pictures today. Thanks..

Ive seen quite a few 69 NOR Convertible tags without X codes. This falls in that category. Whats the VIN?
HD on the engine is a 69 350/250hp L65 with auto trans Aug 19 build Pretty sure the trans code is a Turbo 350 made in Aug of 69 |
Current BOK has X44 no longer being used on Norwood convertible body tags as of March, 1969. We don't know why.
If the VIN prefix is 123679N, it was a 6 cylinder. |
Hear is a picture of the engine, trans and trim tag. I can’t find a VIN stamped on the engine anywhere.
