I believe all the export cars were built at Norwood were they not ?And if an "Experimantal" Camaro was to be built wouldn't Norwood be the plant for that too?
How do you have a nice crisp copy of a POP stamp and no POP ?

I do like the car though

If you google this guy, he was in graduate school at ucla in the 60's. If this is in fact the same guy who bought the car new in 1969. And the protecto plate easily torn off of the 69 books, poor design.

NOR was the lead plant. They did all the export vehicles and all the development vehicles. And it was closer to the Tech Center....

Isn't that tag fake? Look at the 6 and 9, they look atypical... no?

Has anyone seen a second trim tag "Property of general motors corp" (not on this car) but wondering if anyone has seen one.

The imprint on the POP looks odd too. All the numbers are printed and inked clear as day but the owners info is old and faded looking? Wouldn't it all look the same? Where is the pop if a crisp clear photocopy exists? Overall it's a killer looking car

I would think that a factory experimental vehicle would have been built at the Warren Tech Center rather than running parts and engineers back and forth across the country.
