That’s amazing!
Congratulations.
I know the struggle, I know the shop that has my cars original engine, and they just absolutely will not sell it.
Frustrating to know who has it and where it is and not be able to do anything about it

The stenciled number on the muffler was clearly added on and obvious when I removed it. There were other items on the car that were non original or reproductions. It’s a nice car and the owner loves it.

In 1969 the factory absolutely used a torch to cut the holes in four-speed cars.

Site Comments/Discussion / Re: VIN Registry / database
« on: November 03, 2024, 02:46:05 AM »Hello
I’m a new member. I have a car to add to the database.
I own a 1968 Camaro vin 124378L347176
LeMans Blue
I believe it was an original SS model. The original dealership that sold the car was Grant Bishop in Los Gatos, California.
I really enjoy researching and learning from CRG.
Thanks, Clayton
This site is amazing. My 69 Z28 was purchased new from Grant Bishop Chevrolet, and still has the original dealer frame on it and original plates. I’ve never seen or heard of another car from that dealership. Mine is an 09C and was sold on 12/15/1969 by Grant Bishop.

Any help would be appreciated!
You posted on someone else’s thread, but the 69 shows up here:

Don’t want info out there to help the fake car builders. Who can I send pics to for info/confirmation of a difference I’ve seen on very late Norwood cars?

David K that is a nice print. Did you scan an original? Or how did you arrive at that shape? Looks like a fairly simply stamping originally.
Rustynut is your car a convertible? Your profile says an SS 350 but makes no mention of a convertible. Unless the retainer you seek is not for your car? Just curious. Anyhow the “manual” is the AIM ( Assembly Instruction Manual) that Kurt S has made available to all.

Originality / Re: Spare tire
« on: May 04, 2024, 11:08:51 PM »If you look at the standard (blackwall) tire & jack sheet (UPC 10, sheet A2), the coupe used #3949506 sticker, and the convertible used #3949513, and the spare wheel was installed with the outer face DOWN, and the jack base was installed with the top side DOWN. This sheet is for the standard equipment condition, which was blackwall tires.
If you look at the PW7/PW8 whitewall/redline/RWL tire & jack sheet (RPO PW7/PW8, sheet A1), the "model" block states "12300-467", which specifies the convertible body style, and that's what's shown in the illustration, using sticker #3949515. The illustration shows the spare wheel installed with the outer face (and the whitewall or redline or raised white letters) UP, using the added retainer #3929976, and the jack base was installed with the top side UP.
For the "SS", look at RPO L-48, non-illustrated parts list (sheet A2); under UPC 10, it says the spare wheel assembles the same as RPO L-35. If you go to RPO L-35, non-illustrated parts list (sheet A3), under UPC 10, it says the spare wheel assembles the same as RPO PW7, which specifies sticker #3949515.
Looks like that 3929976 retainer was only used if the car was delivered with red or whitewalls, or raised white letters (and possibly a convertible?).
Guessing that’s a tough find.
