I ordered my 2020 Crush ZL1, 6 Speed, the day before the strike started. I took delivery of my vehicle on 11/26/2019. The last five numbers of my VIN is 14319.

Must of just started that. No Plaque on mine. Just has LT-4

Like i said in my earlier post... the plaqued hand-built LT4's seem to show up once in awhile... i checked myself by identifying a few of the 2020 ZL1's on the market with pictures to proof this... unfortunately, i lost a page of my data ...so i do not have the last VIN for the early build plaqued LT4, which was somewhere in the 900 range.

Here are some VIN endings of the Plaqued Hand-built LT4's i found , 3032 ,11471, 12678, 14104, 15082, 15179, 16182, 16513, 22004, 22711, 24183... and there are certainly a few more to add here and there.

Lets not forget that the 2020's are still being produced and will be till sometime this summer... so that means that some other plaqued engines may appear in the future.
My car's VIN ending is 15179 , LT4 built by Samuel Hines mated to a 6-speed manual trans., had it delivered home to Quebec Canada on Jan.23 2020 , car was built sometime in Nov. 2019 after strike.

I figure the factory was somewhere between the VIN numbers 9000 to 10000 range when the strike happened... please correct me if i'm wrong.
Hey... if anyone here works at the Grand River Lansing assembly plant or knows someone who does... please share any knowledge or info you may have on these Plaqued LT4's.... just for amusement... while some of us are waiting for the snow to melt!
take care :wave:

Oh... sorry 363mp...i forgot to add your VIN ending to the list , just added your VIN 14319 to my list... your in the U.S. right?

Congrats...welcome to the list buddy!

As mentioned prior mine is in storage so cant check production date. I did look up vin and it ends 11686

Drews 02-20-2020 12:14 PM

Thanks for adding your VIN 20Madman... i'll be sure to add your car to my list.

Welcome to the list buddy! :wave:

By the way... i'd like to correct my earlier post in which i said that more cars with plaqued hand-built LT4's were in the 22000 to 24000 VIN numbers... i did a quick check-up on todays market for 2020 ZL1 cars for sale in Canada...plus i added the ones you guys gave me , and the most common VIN's with plaqued LT4's has surprisingly changed... 3 in the 14000 range, 3 in the 15000 range , and 4 in the 16000 range.

I think the percentages i gave earlier will definitely change from here on...

Time will tell :wave:

You are welcome Andrew.
Glad to be part of the group, looks like a great forum!

20Madman 02-20-2020 12:25 PM

Just a quick question that you may know?
Does anybody have an idea how many 2020 Zl1 and 1LE that Chevy plans on producing and a break down on color?
I found something about prior years but just was kinda of wondering for 2020.
Maybe we could start a survey?

Mark114 02-20-2020 12:55 PM

I wonder if they had spare LT4s after the 2019 Corvette line shut down?

Drews 02-20-2020 02:50 PM

Well to answer your question 20Madman... the person who can best answer that is ''mlee'', he's the best.

You can find his post on production numbers in the 6th gen+ Camaro General forum under the ''sticky'' of 6th gen camaro production numbers.

Its info that's fun to know for all us Camaro enthusiasts.

Sometimes i'm surprised to see how many of these ZL1's are produced for Canada... (i'm talking about all the years... 5th gen & 6th gen ZL1's) , and that i never see any of them on the roads around here.

20Madman 02-20-2020 02:53 PM

Thanks, I will check it out!

Drews 02-20-2020 02:58 PM

Oups! i miss wrote... that's me typing to fast!!! sorry

Check out "2016+ Camaro; 6th gen general forum"...

then the "sticky 6th gen build counts"

20Madman 02-20-2020 03:06 PM

No worries buddy, I found it. LOL
