General Discussion / Re: Wheels stamped, I wonder what these are from

I don't know what they are for, but riveted wheels were usually for heavy duty use; taxi, police and other possibilities. Are they rally wheels?

It's too bad about their differences. Both venues are good.

Unfortunately, the lies will be perpetuated when the car sells again and again.

Very disappointing that a car enthusiast would do something like that, and at a venue like that. Hopefully someone will come forward or have info on it.

Restoration / Re: wiper motor restoration

I know this is an older topic but info just for the community. Just got my wiper motor back for my Z. It was 1 notch above junk but the original to the car. Classsic Wipers, Travelers rest SC did a very nice first class job. Had to rebuild just about everything including the pump. He had original GM small parts to go back into it. Reasonable price. Did have to wait forever but well worth it.  sam@classicwipers.com.

Thanks for providing that very helpful info for others.

Great story.

Wouldn't it be great if they had continued using those trim tags!

Decoding/Numbers / Re: VN built 69 Camaro with a Firebird VIN on the transmission?

« on: June 22, 2021, 01:41:34 AM »

I've owned a 1979 Pontiac Trans Am that was built at the Van Nuys Plant since 1986 and have all the original documents for the vehicle, which include the window sticker, dealer invoice, warranties and maintenance invoices, and can say that although the VIN number is stamped on the Borg Warner Super T-10 transmission, the block was never stamped.

Congrats, very few made.

Same guy bought the red (68), white (67) and this blue (69) for a complete trio of first gen Z's. He spent a lot.

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

Really interesting!

Sounds totally illogical. More facebook fodder in my opinion. Could just indicate that it should be painted gold.
