Re: need help! build date questions

I'm sorry to hear of your loss and good luck in your search. With a build date in November you would be looking at a '92 model year Camaro. The SPID should give the build date (make sure the VIN on it matches the car). The definite spot I know of would be the ID decal on the driver's door which shows build month/year (again make sure the VIN on the decal matches the car). This is usually the same decal with the tire/wheel info but can be a separate decal mounted in the same area on the door.

I too am sorry for your loss, and what a great tribute to your late son. Definetly a '92 year model you're looking for. Looking through my build sheets of '92 Camaros I've collected you're looking for a VIN sequence of about NL117000 to about NL121000. I can get a more exact figure for you on the November build when I get to work tomorrow and I'll post that for you.

yeah i figured since he was born 11/91 and the car i had when i picked him up from the hospital was a camaro, i figure that would be a fitting tribute. always figured id get to build a car like this with him one day but it didnt happen, so hope i can find the right one

look for vin sequence NL116854 through NL122246, give or take a few numbers on either side and that will get you a 11/91 build... Chris
