If you are linking to the blue rectangular sticker with the clear overlay, that was a '70 thing - not used in '69.

I just saw a "survivor", (not my description), but nonetheless, '69 Camaro with a late build that had the blue door jamb sticker. I couldn't look at the sticker very well due to recent back surgery and I can't bend down, BUT it WAS there and it was original paint in that jamb.
And, yes, there are several ways to get them. Some are blank, some are typed, some are typed with the exact font.
Now, back to the Camaro and the blue tag, I thought it was '70 and later thing to, but I'm also under the impression it was on cars produced after a certain date; I do not know that exact date. I didn't record the VIN of the Camaro, but I remember the "last six" being REAL late. I think the trim tag says "09C of'69-NOT'68".
I bought a blank one for my '72 Olds frame-off and had my sister type the info. It turned out almost identical to the original---I got lucky with the font. My car has some aftermarket upgrades, so the exact font wasn't that big of a deal to me, but I gotta tell you, it's dead on.
If you are doing a "numbers type" car, you may want to do some more research, my '69 Olds (1968 build) does NOT have that sticker, so again, you may want to do some research. I'm sure there are more guys here that know more about that than me.

i can confirm late <span style="text-decoration: underline">69 Camaro cars </span>have the sticker and the door is designed to provide the position of the sticker. I have a mid sept car and a very late oct car with both having the stickers.

It's possible they are on some late '69 Novas as well, but it's generally a '70+ thing (and not a Jan '70 thing, but rather a full year '70 thing).

Stickers started first week of August on the Camaros. One would expect it to have started with the reset of the ident number, but not necessarily.

Car 671122 did not get the sticker even though it had a low (reset) ident number.
Car 671208 did get the sticker. That is John Berry's old white Z/28 pictured in Jerry's book.

Both cars were 08A builds.

The ribs on the door started earlier in the summer in preparation for the decal.

It was not required on any 69 vehicle other than the extended production Camaro and Corvette which had to comply with all the 70 federal regs.
I would be surprised to see it on a 69 Nova, even a late one.

I only brought up the Camaro stats because Camaros were addressed.

If the Nova in question is a 69 (haven't memorized Jed's cars) then it would not get the sticker.

The late 69 camaros got the stickers starting 08A. The Camaro production ran late in 69. An August built nova would be a 1970.

Default Re: VIN sticker for inside door

Here again guys I am glad I asked this question here. My car is an 05D build. So its Bday is coming up. Ha! I know my 12/69, 70 Nova has one in the jamb. ButI guess I thought that this Nova had one for some reason?? And I did not take any pics of the door on the driver's side. Somehow I could have sworn that it did have one but the VIN was towards the top and the date was at the bottom? Ipposite of what is on my 70 Nova. I am most likely mistaken. Oh well, the GM embossed sticker stays then, no VIN. I will definately take everyones expertise on this wether Nova or Camaro. Geeez, I have too many cars!

Thanks again for everyones help! I know I can use the VIN stickers on my other Novas.

Jed...FYI: I'm pretty sure the GM &quot;embossed sticker&quot; was not a 69 item either...I believe 68 or maybe 67 was the last year.

I agree Tom. No embossed tag on the door of my Jan built '69 NOVA either.
