Just purchased a 1982 Maroon El Camino, which has the silver SS decals on the doors and tailgate. It does not appear to have been repaited, so I just need to confirm whether it is a real SS or just a clone. Already decoded the VI, so I know it has a 305. Would also appreciate if someone could decode the full cowl tag info for me.

VIN:
1GCCW80H9CR197184

Cowl Info:
C 05C 1GW80 R 176614
26N 29L Z1M 29U L
AM6
15 1643

Thanks

Thanks for the link, however it only contains cowl and trim info for Camaro's not El Camino's.

Can anybody else help me to decode this?

Check the VIN section

I am trying to figure out ours as well. We are told that it was one of approx: 50 built in '82. The rad cradle says that it is a 305 but the P.O. told us that it has a 400. It has a Monte Carlo front clip (which I am lead to believe is wrong for a '82) either way it is a gorgeous car, I just took it for a 3,000 mile trip and it performed amazingly.
