**Los Angeles cars had a code on the first line, such as K212. It is an internal plant code for dating of production.

Location B - Model Year 1968

Location C - Body Style

12437 - Sport Coupe

NOTE: The 3rd digit is always a "4" on the trim tag and does not denote a V8 or 6 cylinder so for that reason it can differ from the VIN on '68 Camaros.

Note: In 1968 the third digit of the body style did not denote a six or eight cylinder engine. Only the third digit of the VIN indicated the engine in 1968. All cars will show one of these two codes regardless of the engine.
