General Discussion / Re: 1969 Camaro ZL-1 50 Year Homecoming Anniversary Meet ?

« on: November 01, 2018, 12:26:35 PM »

Yes building is still there. Attended the annual LaHarpe show in August. Took a pic of the Z in front of dealership. In the early days of the show it was called the Fred Gibb Memorial Car Show and ZL1's, COPO's, Yenko's would all attend.

Amazing that the building is so intact and basically unchanged after all these years. Area looks the same as far as I can see from the pics - very few 60's and earlier dealerships stay this "time warped".

Regards,
Steve

It's rural Illinois, the town has not changed. It is "time warped"!

I'm the same way...the car came that way. As far as inside noise, it's not too bad, you have to talk a little louder. It's not as bad as sidepipes on a mid-year Vette.

Restoration / Cleaning 302 intake

I am in the process of detailing my 69 Z28 engine. The intake has some normal dirt/grime and some minor staining. What is the best way to freshen this up? The intake is still on the engine and the engine is in the car. I have taken off about everything I can off the engine.

I've got chambered on my Z (Nov. 68 - LOS) and I had it on a previous 69 big block. The sounds are different, I prefer the big block sound over the small block. The Z seems to cackle more...I know different manufactures do sound different. Don't get me wrong it does sound great. My wife hasn't liked either one! If you are going for driving for pleasure and fun I would go for deep tone system...your neighbors won't know when you start the car up every time!

11A probably would.   

I can't remember who it was, it was either William or James that clarified it.   At some point in late December or Early January the chrome trim ring went away.  So I'm going to make sure my 12D car has them.

Another interesting piece of info, when the parking lights have trim rings, the outside parameter of the lens is painted argent silver.

I remember my previous SS/RS that I had years ago had the trim rings (Norwood 10C build). Does anyone have a photo of an original with the SS trim and argent silver on the lens?

Thanks for the info. Does anyone know if LOS did anything different with the trim? Mine probably have been replaced in it's lifetime.

Would you mind sharing the info you found? My parking lights do not have the rings and I'm thinking they should. 11A LOS build

Thanks

New pics are up.

FathomRSZ28 - because the feature car this month was a 69, your car has been delayed a bit - but will be the 69 shown the next time we change pics, in early April.

Sounds great. Thanks for your work on this. Let me know if you need anything further from me

I sent some pics of my car to Bryon a few weeks ago. This is a nice feature that needs to continue.

Thanks for the kind words. You don't see this combination very often, really makes it stand out. Happy to back in the Camaro world!
