You need to find a First Edition owner's manual dated August 1968. The part number is 3955543. :)

10C '68 or 10C '69?

Post by: SH69Z28 on September 28, 2008, 09:03:10 PM: Sorry, I should have thought about the year. The car was built in October 1969 as the build sequence number 70xxxx. Thanks!

In that case, you need to find a Second Edition owner's manual dated December 1968. The part number is 3955544. :)

Post by: SH69Z28 on September 29, 2008, 08:14:17 PM: I've just seen an April 1969 printing date for a supposedly original manual on ebay. Wouldn't that be more likely given the build date of my car? Thanks.

Post by: KevinW on September 29, 2008, 10:50:46 PM: Thanks for this thread! I have a 10B 68 Camaro and wondered about the manual and it is the original manual! First Edition owner's manual dated August 1968 with part number is 3955543. I also found the original warranty card! (no POP) :( It was sold new on 10/26/68 from Doan Calhoun in philly!

Post by: Dave69x33 on September 30, 2008, 12:50:49 AM: Speaking of owner manual print dates, would the Third Edition, April print date be acceptable for a 05A Camaro? Would the distribution of an April printing have made it the assembly plant by the first week of May?

I purchased my original manual years ago, and until this discussion thread, had not paid much attention to the print date.

Based on the previous and related discussion thread on manuals, here are some pic's to show the print date and color of yellow pages added for the A.I.R. system.

Post by: JohnZ on September 30, 2008, 02:57:42 PM: I have the original Canadian owner's manual for my 02D '69 (which has the yellow pages in the center for the PCV/CCS/A.I.R. systems), and it's P/N 732970, First Edition, August 1968.
