**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
12467 - Convertible
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.
