In 68, there were differences in Canadian smog usage, but not in 69.

IIRC, the sealer was dispensed with a gun with a brush on the end of it. Meaning it was done with one pass.

You have three threads going on the same topic! I just merged two of them. Give people a couple of days to respond. Not everyone has a tilt column.
Sure looks like these pics by 69Z28-RS address your question. ??

It should. No real difference in the design that I'm aware of.

Originality / Re: ? California Plates - 1967 corresponding letters ?
« on: March 25, 2009, 03:03:46 AM »
Depends on where the car was first registered. My understanding is that some area used up their letter allotments faster than others.
And yes, there are other 67's that start with T's.

The cars didn't go thru the body shop in body # order. They went in order by sequence / rotation #.
John may have insight on this, but I'd say they wouldn't go thru together. Special paints were manually shot so you wouldn't want to have them all in a row cause they wouldn't be able to keep up. And there's no advantage of having them in order since they are being shot from a pressure pot.

How many special paint cars? That's here: http://www.camaros.org/exterior.shtml#ColorPercentages
Plasiter,
I've heard of several dealers refer to the special order paint as a COPO. That may be what they think and refer to it as.
But within GM / Chevrolet Corporate, it was not a COPO, it was a F&SO. A special order color with no engineering concurrence required. A COPO required engineering to design/modify/approve and the costs associated with that were shown via a COPO # on the window sticker.
The special paint and cost would show up as a 1001 billing code on the window sticker.

Fixed.
I recommend camaros.net for classified.
We chose not to do a classified section cause they do it so well.

JohnZ updated his assembly article with some new schedule info and repair info. I added several factory pictures that I've been collecting over the years and put internal hyperlinks in the article (I've also been adding the internal hyperlinks to other articles). http://www.camaros.org/assemblyprocess.shtml
I also redid the trans page with some crossmember information and eliminated the FAQ format.

« on: March 23, 2009, 02:11:01 AM »NB, If everybody posted with X's in the Vin deriative , this would be a useless categoryI agree. It's not like someone is going to invent a car to match an engine. There's no reason not to list the full VIN on components and docs.

Some 69's have been observed with different fonts on the two stamps.

I've only heard about this one car. It's an interesting story, but ...... no other Camaros have shown up. There's also some pink Firebirds too.
It would be done as a Fleet and Special Order (F&SO). It would be scheduled just like any other car - all parts had to be there to be on the schedule, including the special paint.
Wait a day or so and there will be info in the assembly article that addresses this.

C75 is the climate control (you set the desired interior temp) version of AC. Fancy-smancy back then, available on the full-size cars.

No. It's correct.
The format of the partial VIN didn't change. It just tells you the year, not the decade.
A picture of the engine block would show it has a short engine pad.
