Re: VIN QUESTION

I think that AP after the 1G1 was only used in 1981. From 1982 the Camaros used the FP after the 1G1.

I took a look at the Vin# of my 1981, 1983, and 1984 I used to own and they all had the 1G1AP instead of 1G1FP. So I'll make a correction that 1G1 AP was used from 1981 to 1984. The 1G1FP seems to have been used from 1985 since that's what my 1985 has.

Re: VIN QUESTION

In 84 the fifth digit is for the restraint system. 85 it's for the car line - ie F-body
