QuoteI often wonder if anyone is actually reading this garbage I post...after all, it's a SIX-BANGER!
Oh my...... your posts could never be described as garbage !!! They are very informative and extremely enlightening. I, like others I'm sure, are always looking forward to the coming additional offerings of your passion to preserve your Camaro. Don't ever stop, and many, many thanks for all you've provided us up to this point.
My hat is off to you and your dedication to continuing this superbly informative (and often unobserved) side of the history of Camaro. Thank you.

I thought Shelby American did have a package for gen 5 Camaro’s (May not be factory GM sponsored) however individuals could take there cars there to get modified.
That might be correct. However, that does not mean Shelby built it. Just as a Challenger or Viper went to Shelby American AFTER the car was made from Chrysler by the customer to get modded. This situation is like buying any new car, then the customer has new wheels and tires installed by America's Tire Pros. No factory involvement. Kinda like the old saying "Day two modifications".
Hey MO...it was a joke!!! I like to insert some fun sh** once in awhile. I know there is no way that some fool would convert a V8 car into a 6, but I was nearly fool enough to create my own '69 6-banger from (12337 car) about 15 years ago with an original '69 with a swapped 350, 4-speed (swapped from the original 3-speed), and a really nice blue standard interior. I had located a donor '69 Nova with a 230 and a 3-on-the-tree column and was hoping to rebuild it to its original drivetrain. Unfortunately I waited a little too long and the car was sold (maybe it is now a '69 Z...I have that feeling).
MO...that is a distinct possibility...makes perfect sense to me. I know you are a detail-oriented guy...have you seen this painted mark before on trunk seals? I have noticed that the repop trunk seals look remarkably dissimilar to the originals (like a lot of other repop stuff).
PS...I found a posting from 2008 on here from "Firstgenaddict" regarding the orange mark. You are correct that it was used to orient the seal during installation on the assembly line.
