welcome aboard !

i own a car very similar yours, it's a export model cause i'm living in france.
just like you it's a rare L30M20 convertible with RS and deluxe interior.
10 bolts with no radius rod and mine is a 11B.

In addition to the US assembly plants, many hundreds (if not several thousands) of Camaros were assembled by at least four overseas factories: the Yutivo factory in the Philippines (the subject of a CRG research article), GM Continental in Belgium, GM Suisse in Bienne, Switzerland, and a little-known assembly plant in Caracas, Venezuela. The last three factories remain objects of continuing CRG research, and if you have information on any of these facilities, or cars built at them....I have information on 4 1967/68 Camaros with GM FRANCE homogolation/ID plates, indication that GM France modified these cars in the France GM plant. Did GM France assemble CKD pkgs in France ??

To comment on the sunroof issue: I have conducted a research survey on  1953-1982 Corvettes exported around the world by General Motors. All built in the USA and most are fitted with a second GM ID tag, AKA, homologation plate. These second ID tags identify the GM plant where the Corvettes were modified to meet local road and safety regulations. Over the last 25 plus years of research I have collected data and photos of about 75 Corvettes. Along with the Corvette info came some miscellaneous Camaro information on 4 Euro versions. Three are from France GM and the following from Antwerp Belgium.  I received 2 color photos and the following information on a 1967 Camaro assembled in the Antwerp GM plant. Per your group, I understand GM assembled the Camaro from CKD kits. This Camaro is reported to have a homologation tag which states Antwerp Belgium. The tag is attached at the cowl area on the passenger side door. The is no USA vin tag. This information came to me from a lady named Robin from Rhode Island, USA. She and her family are the second owners buying the car in 1980 in Europe and later shipping it back to the states. She reports: original color is Silver, no vinyl top. Factory metal painted retractable steel sunroof.  No glass or vinyl to the sunroof. The silver on the rally rims matches the body color. Drive train is 250/straiht 6, 4 speed Saginaw with original Muncie shifter. Disc brakes, original spare 7:35 Tyre Uniroyal. Speedo lens reads 0 to 200. Also fold down rear seat (standard), black interior with consol, special rear view mirror.

Any help please...We were at a local car show and saw a '69 Camaro that had a slider sunroof cut in. The job appeared to be very professional, roof and top both had rolled edges and headliner was of equal quality of installation. The roof did not crank or lift up, it would just unlatch and slide back. This appeared nicer than a backyard type ofjob. Was wondering if anybody has ever heard of something like this that was possibly dealer installed or possibly sublet out to a jobber, such as Hurst.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you, Jeff
