1969 Pace Car, built late ?

Hi !

My friend Hans bought another 69 Camaro a couple of days ago. This Pace Car has its original interior, but has a Burgundy paintjob that is really old. It was shipped over the pond in 1975 and has only had three owners in Sweden since then.
The car runs and drives ok but needs to be repainted of course.
It´s a 350/350 car with just a couple of options.

The VIN is 124679N64145X.
TrimTag reads: ST69 12467 NOR329322BDY, TR 720 50 A PNT, 05A Z11

Were the last Pace Cars built 05A ? If so, are there many known cars built later than this one ?

Thanks !

05A spans approximately 11 production days; N6367xx - N644xxx. For quite some time, the latest Norwood Z11 was thought to be N6442xx. However, three years ago an 05C project Z11 appeared on ebay; N648xxx. Has the latest body number of all Z11s; must have been a late order pushed through the system by a dealer with some clout.

But none of them are THE latest Z11. When Van Nuys went on strike April 26 - June 18, just over 1,000 released orders remained in queue. Several were Z11s, finally built late in June even though they have 05A tags. Latest one I know of is L5304xx.

More Z11 trivia: there is at least one Z11 built earlier than Track Car #1.

Thank you so much William for an excellent answer! I know Hans will appreciate it, and so do I.
