Reference Details
- Common issue
- Accepting an engine suffix, transmission date code, or component casting number without matching partial-VIN corroboration for the individual car.
- Confidence
- documented
- Correct value
- For 1968-and-later Camaros, CRG records drivetrain partial VIN stamping as a federal requirement: all engines were stamped, and all 1968-1969 transmissions should have a partial VIN.
- Where to check
- Engine partial VIN stamping near the engine assembly code; transmission partial VIN location varies by transmission type and assembly plant.
