Restoration / Re: Interior Question

You all have made very valid points. I do not plan on showing this car. I only want to drive and enjoy it It is great fun, and I like the way it looks and I like the way it drives. I believe I will let the next owner worry about what was original and what was not. Thanks for your input!

Restoration / Interior Question

« on: September 04, 2007, 11:51:50 PM »

I currently own a 1969 Camaro SS/RS Convertible. It has been restored by the previous owner, and is terrific, but, the interior is wrong. For some reason a deluxe (712) black interior was installed and the trim tag says it should be a standard (711) black interior. Also, electric windows were replaced with manual. Is it worth the trouble and expense to change back to the way it was born? I have the Protecto Plate, dealer invoice, and original window sticker, so I know what it should have. Any guidance is appreciated, I suppose these are not huge problems, but they bug me. I really like the looks of the deluxe interior over the standard.

Restoration / Block stamping L89 Convertible

« on: September 03, 2007, 11:50:40 PM »

I currently own a 1969 Camaro SS/RS 396 convertible. It has been totally restored. While it has a date coded 396/375 with aluminum heads (L89) engine, the numbers are not matching to the car. The POP and window sticker as well as the dealers invoice state the car is an L89 convertible. Should I have the block restamped to match the car? I think the car is fairly rare as is. The engine is fairly rare as well. They just don't match. Any thoughts on this situation?
