The body-styles table gave 176,813 Sport Coupes for 1968, which with 20,440 convertibles did not add up to its 235,147 total. The 1968 page had carried the same figure until September 25. Both now give 214,707, the figure in the 1968 kit's header.

The 1993 page and the fourth-generation page called the Z28 the most powerful Camaro since the 1971 big blocks, a claim no source backed. The 1993 page now gives Chevrolet's own wording, the most powerful regular-production Camaro ever, and the fourth-generation page no longer makes the claim.

The decoder read every 13-character VIN with the 1967 to 1971 layout, so a 1978 VIN such as 1S87L8N500001 came out as a 1968 car. It now tells the two layouts apart by the second character and reads that VIN as 1978.
