It used to be that there might be 20-30 first run vehicles where all the bodyshop equipment was getting tuned in and fits weren't acceptable. These trucks didn't get VIN tags and were used for yard vehicles for a few years or given to automotive tech in high schools. I don't know what they do with these cars these days. At some point, it is decided that the vehicle being built is a salable product. Once the bodies are right, they start sending one or two down the line each day to familiarize the workers with their jobs. Engineers and process engineers followed each vehicle, keeping track of any problems. Engineering then sorted out any of their problems and the workers learned their jobs. As the days go by, more and more vehicles are sent down the line until the plant eventually gets up to speed. There was no actual start of production date. It was a gradual thing. From what the guys tell me, it sound much the same today. Hopefully this helps a little as to what happens in the plants.

What year is your SS?

I believe it was early in the 70's.

BTW: I don't own an SS Camaro yet... just an awesome 04 SS-R for now.

No problem it does look like that at first glance.

BTW: I did have a beautiful red Camaro RS convertible 1968-396 for a little while back then to drive around I was 18 at the time. My father was a General Sales Mgr at a local Chevrolet Dealership back then and he would have many awesome vehicles to drive around and bring home.

That was the start of my love affair for the Camaros and Vettes and GM.

BTW: It all started for me at a very early age of 7 years old when he brought home a new 1957 Black/Silver/Red 283 - 283 HP Fuel Injected Vette.

OH yes, I am old enough to be your father right! I am 59 but I can act like 21 when I get behind the wheel of my SSR!

BTW: I am known to go very fast from Zero to the Speed Limit on many occasions! Ok maybe a wee bit over the speed limit...
