As many of you know, I've compiled a database of cowl tag/VIN info for 1967 Firebirds. I'd like to do the same with 1968, it's an invaluable resource for finding cars where the trim tag has been mismatched to the VIN tag and can also serve as a base for date-sensitive options such as Comfortweave vs. vinyl deluxe seat inserts and as an aid in decoding addtional trim tag codes.

No owner specific detail is requested or logged. Submissions from eBay are welcome as long as both VIN tag and trim tag are included. I would strongly prefer photos of the VIN and trim tags in order to minimize transcription errors and to log tag blank styles. If that's not possible, or if the photos are hard to see, please send the tag info in the email message. If you'd like to contribute but don't want to disclose your full VIN, feel free to ** out the last two digits or edit the photo to mask the last two digits.

If you'd like to contribute please email photos as attachments to yellowbird@thefirstgensite.com and put the subject "68 codes" in your email so that I can process them in batches.

Once a statistically significant sample is submitted, even 50 tags per assembly plant, I can answer inquiries as to approximate build date for a given VIN, or approximate VIN for a given build date. The more samples are submitted the more accurate the search. 100 well distributed samples can give a resolution of two weeks.
