Trim Tag Stamping Error

[Jonesy]

NOR135366 body number also shows up in a search over at camaros.net. Maybe somebody recorded the wrong number or someone used this body number to make a fake tag up??

I think the tag in the first post is real and the pic is just a little distorted for some reason.

Interesting find on that body number - the tag this car is on does not have that VIN number, is a different color, different X code and different interior. I have verified that the vin tag on the car matches both hidden vins.

Looks like someone guessed a body sequence number and made a trim tag.

I don't like that trim tag. It might just be the picture and possibly the camera did some type of strange zoom or something. But the "22" does not look like the same font in the "12437" and the "5"'s don't look to match other trim tags in Jerry's book. It almost looks the NOR, paint code and X22 were added to the tag at a later time. But it might just be the angle or camera.

There would exist two cars with that body number. This one is built in 1969 (X-coded) the other in 1968 (not x-coded). Norwood restarted the bodynumbers in Sep 69 when the production continued during the fall waiting for the 70's to start.

The 68 tag would not have that high of a body number, nor was there week 09E in 68. It was probably a fake tag in the camaros.net post. Also in that post it says 09E 11 which is probably 09E X11.

Here is the tag off my U16 Z VIN # 692076 for some comparison

Hard to tell for sure with that pic, but talwell's tag looks OK.

I suspect the other tag with the same body # was a repro.
