i have two 1984 camaros....

one is a z28, which was built in january of 1984. the last 6 digits of the vin start as as follows: 13xxxx (not posting the last four)

the second car is an 1984 sport coupe, with an unknown build date, as the factory door sticker is missing. i want to know when this car was assembled, if possible. the last 6 digits of this car start with 15xxx (not posting the last four)


both cars were built at norwood.

i've done some reading, and read that norwood could sustain a production of approximately 41 cars per hour according to the tech info on tgo here.

does anyone know if the production lines ran 24 hours a day?

i'm guessing somewhere between march to july is when the car was built... does that sound logical?

 

Profuction lines normally ran just two 8 hr shifts and the months mentioned may be changeover dates for new model runs.

 

Look at the top line on the cowl tag.

E 0?* 2FP87 N 15????

"E" = 1984 model year
0? = month
* = week of the month (will be a A,B,C,D,or E)

 

Awesome, thanks

the cowl tag is that tag riveted to the core support, correct?

here's a photo of the one from my z28. looking at the photo enclosed, it is looking like the z28 was built near the end of january.

 

That is the one. Built between January 22 & 28 1984.

 

Searching through my "archives", I've got one here. Last eight are EN115593 build date of 10C, third week of October.

 

Ooops, not reading this correctly. You want a 150XXX car. O.K.
I've got another one here. Last eight is EN155294 build 03C. Third
week of March.

 

that's pretty damn close.

my other camaro is a 152xxx i believe. i'll double check in the morning, wrote the vin down for a paper to register my vehicles with the company i work for.

 

thanks a bunch

 

Hi I wondering if anyone else here has a thirdgen that was built in Dec 1981. I think I may be the Orginal owner of the oldest surviving thirdgen Firebird. Gee you think that might make it worth more.

 

Don't own one but saw this one in a salvage yard here in GA. '82 Dk. Blue Berly, last eight CL100058. Build date 11-81 (11C) on the trim tag.

 

Well that one in a salvage yard, so its dead. Mine is still living!

 

My mother bought a new (demo) '82 that was built 12-81 with VIN 1G1AP8720CL107275. This car was leased by the high school I attended and used as a drivers ed vehicle. My Mom bought it with 5k on it in July 1982. She traded it in on a new '89 Pontiac Grand Prix and we have'nt heard of it since. It was a 4-cyl, Automatic, no A/C but had rally wheels, am-fm stereo and tilt wheel. it was Charcoal Gray with a silver gray cloth interior, it was a real dog but a nice car. Chris
