Since the designation "D80" to identify cars equipped with the spoiler option was not used until midway through the model year, there are a couple of possible explanations. The most likely is that the "09D" body date (fourth week of September) is a very late car. 1969 Camaros were produced until about the first week of November, 1969, due to the late release of the 1970 models. A spoiler-equipped, 09D car built in September, 1969 would have the D80 code on the body tag. An 09D car built in September 1968 should not have the D80 code.
