You might get better info in the Tag Team section.

I need help deciphering these numbers I was able too obtain from the car.Here are the numbers:Vin.136379A303305,These numbers are from the cowl tag; 69 13637 ATL 121353 785 S 10A

136379A303305

1 = Chevrolet
36 = Malibu
37 = 2 door sport coupe
9 = year = 1969
A = Atlanta final assemble plant
303305 = Basic production numbers

57 is fathom green
s is single paint no two tone
785 is bucket seats 785 - Met. Med. Green Coated Fabric
not too sure about that 10 A though might be a little worn out but that is usually an option indicator maybe someone else can fill in the rest

My book says 785 is green vinyl Malibu trim but doesn't say bench or buckets. ??
10 = Oct.
A = 1st week

Thanks for your help it is greatly appriciated .

Just to clarify the "57 S" opposite PNT.

Fathom Green (57) with Green vinyl top (S).

Here's what it could like like restored (same codes as mine). Mine's missing the SS stripe. Can't yet convince myself to apply it over the paint. I just changed the vinyl roof from black to the correct green. Some may cringe over the green vinyl roof, but it's really grown on me and looks very period correct - I personally dig it.

Good luck with the car.

What no.# off the block, starting with '' HIGH PERFORMANCE" ,would correspond with what part of the vin.# to proove or dis-proove the numbers Please help.I feel dizzzzzzy! Thanks,DAB

Im having trouble findinthe numbers from my block to correspond or cross reference with the vin#to get some info as to weather this is a numbers match car

Here's a good reference site about how to decode the numbers. It's for a Camaro, but the locations are very similar for Chevelles.

For reference, here's what the partial VIN looks like on my Chevelle: (you may need to wire-brush the area clean if there's a lot of grease, rust, etc at this location. The last 7 characters should match the last 7 charaters of you VIN to be considered the "Original Engine".
