Title: crayon marking on the lower fender extensions ?
Post by: BULLITT65 on June 07, 2021, 08:25:13 PM: So recently a guy posted pics of taking his 69Z apart, and the was the letter "G" in crayon on the inside of the lower fender extension. While looking for an explanation for this one person suggested the G stood for Z/28, as it is a G on the broadcast copy under the engine RPO 11, and the G was to let them know where to punch the fender for emblems.
Now it appears that the lower fender extensions were painted independent of the fenders, so why would they put a G on the lower part?

I appreciate any insight to this, and if his expanation of being a Z/28 is a good one, and if this is discussed anywhere else on the CRG that I could not find, or in a research article. thanks

Stay away from FB as it’ll enlarge your amygdala... I’ve read some of the comments in some of those “groups”..

Post by: BULLITT65 on June 08, 2021, 05:58:42 AM: Thanks Cook. that was a good read on the Yenko site, and it seems the data correlates to what James posted that G was for the Z/28. I will have to look under my red 69 and see if I can make out anything. Gary anything on your 69Z?

As far as FB goes. it is a crap shoot. I am part of a 69Z group, and try to steer it in the right direction, hence trying to provide a good explanation for the question.

Post by: firstgenaddict on March 07, 2022, 06:37:03 PM: X33 and not a rally sport correct?

IF so this would be another data point towards confirming the M stood for style trim.
