Camaro History On Display Tomorrow Evening

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: bcmiller</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Still looking for date codes from the sheet metal - any YES they should have them. I believe Fisher Body should have date stamped just about everything. Even on a pilot car.

Alternator, distributor, cylinder head, engine block, transmission and rear axle should have date codes too. If not stamped assembly dates, then casting dates. These did not just appear out of thin air.

If you can't get the numbers, let me know the locations this car will be on display in the next year and I can look the car over myself.

Boy this thread has epic potential for educational purposes moving forward...

Just trying to &quot;learn something new&quot;. So are you saying there are no date codes on any of the parts?

The Body and the sheet metal parts on the car have no date codes as you would expect from the stamping plant. There were tags only Some of the tags were found.

I have pictures on the way to address some of the other questions. In a later post I will be more specific on the description of what was found on the car.
