General Discussion / N682612 X77D80

« on: January 16, 2009, 01:27:46 AM »

Would love to find out if any viewer has any knowledge on my 1969 X77D80 Cortez Silver Camaro, Vin N682612??? I was told it was bought in a town in Indiana back around 1999 from someone that drag raced it. It was sold off the internet and then trailered it back to Maryland. I bought it in 2005 and have all the info I can get from the 2 owners that had it before me.

It appears to be a true X77D80 (from feedback on my previous trim tag posts) but does not have the original engine. Maybe it's out there somewhere??? The name "Steve Satre" was written on the drive shaft. Does anybody know anything about the car?

I was told, when it was bought back in 1998 or 1999, it had a large tach on the dash and racing seats in it. The original seats had been removed but came with the car. It had subframe connectors, traction bars, racing spool with 4:10 gears, strange axles, msd ignition, aftermarket chrome valve covers, blue wires, to name a few. It also had new rear quarters on it. ?

Restoration / Correct 69 Camaro Emblem Placement - Front Fenders

« on: November 15, 2008, 04:40:42 PM »

Need Help.  My 69 Z28 was repainted before I bought it 3 years ago. It does not have the Camaro emblems on either of the front fenders.  I am ready to install the emblems but, as most of you know, the AIM does not give an easily understood reference location on where to start the holes. 

I am looking for 2 "rough" dimensions for the Camaro emblem on both the left & right front fenders near the door.
1) A measurement in inches from the horizontal seem on the fender down to a "line" being the very bottom of the Camaro emblem.
2) A measurement in inches from the edge of the fender & door to the beginning of this "line"

My car is far from being a perfect Z so the dimensions do not have to be perfect.  Some of the other posts recommend to trace one from an original Z.  Sorry, but don't know of any originals close by.   I'm just looking to see if there will be a consensus on these 2 dimensions from the owners of original Z's.  That would work for me.   Appreciate your help.
Thanks.
