General Discussion / Emission Stickers 69 Camaro

« on: February 18, 2019, 07:33:50 AM »

Hi, looking at buying a 69 Camaro and was looking at the requirements to get it regeistered (From Reno, NV to Calif)
I am not sure how much effort is going to be required. There were some comments on DMV site about inspecting the emission
stickers.

Did the 69 actually  have an emission sticker?  I thought it had a smog pump.   If it did, can those be purchased?   
I would hate to buy stock headers and a smog pump just to get this thing registered.

ANy info on the process appreciated.

also, why is it so hard for these restorers to align the CID emblems on the fenders? The driver's fender appears low on this one.

...would love to see a pic of that fan shroud.   

I'm starting to look at the value of these "undocumented" cars as simply either a 6 cyl or 8 cyl base plus the value of the rest of the goodies  that  were added on.  This car is is not a 396 RS/SS until documentation proves it is.  I already found a website that allows the creation of window stickers and everything else you need to create a fake Camaro.   The Haggerty valuation tool has the real car about 60k as this guy is asking, but is it real?  Hmm. I have no proof either way.

Trim tag replaced?  Looks like there are some hollow spaces under the current one to the top right where another may have been mounted. 
This at least looks like a nice car. Optioned out real nice sans the floor gauges.   He is asking 59.9k, it went for 48.7k at Mecum's.  I had said 40 before, but I could see 48 for this car.  Last ebay auction stopped at 34k and has failed a sale twice there.

What do the members of CRG think this car is worth and what do you think it will it be worth in 10 years provided its kept up?   The guy never said it was a # matching car and may not even be a BB car.

I have no complaints about this car.  It was well done and as a matter of fact has all the features in one I would want.  Not willing to pay that price though.

I'm still learning about authenticating the 69s, as that is what I'm in search of.  Anyway, when I compare these two.

The one in this thread:
N637582 712 NOR315920 05A

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1969-Chevrolet-Camaro-Hardtop-Pace-Car-/162510444132?hash=item25d6609664:g:fn4AAOSwaeRZEmTK&vxp=mtr
N6321XX 729 NOR315663 04C

I have to ask.  If there were only 257 cars built by NOR from one car to the next, does that mean there were only 257 Camaros built from 04C to 05A?
That also amounts to almost 5,400 vin#s according to the info on these two cars.

A third car, the one with the hardtop and Z11 tag that was "wrong":
N594443 720 NOR312825 04C (in this case 3200 cars in a week??)

Is there a database of Z10 avail?

I have less problem w/a clone than I do a cowl tag stamped right on a 2017 Body Shell.   How can one of those Dynacorn or similar shells be spotted?   
I'm starting to see a bunchy of "SS/RS 396" cars that look way too straight.

Updated:  is X22, 713 seats 50 50 paint, NOR 219711.   I sure like that car.  :   )

Nicely done, but have to believe a forgery without more info.  Probably worth 40?

I see it has the clock, gauges, no a/c, 713 seats, what can you tell about this car from the trim tag?

I have a picture of the cowl section (cut off) when it sold back in 2000. Note that it has no pictures of any of the numbers....

It used to be a 52-52 X55, so not black and not a big block.

so, basically its a rebody w/the old cowl welded in in addition to some vin tag "magic".   So, any recommended resources to help research the 1st gens?

It's back! 124379N680287. Title & tags were sold on ebay years ago.

Window sticker is an obvious fake, one of the worst I've seen. N680287 was final-assembled on or about Sep 4, 1969 but the sticker lists two options dropped well prior. NC8 was discontinued May 19th; N66 January 2nd. Power front disc brakes were standard on Camaro SS, never listed on factory docs. Several other errors on it.

That window sticker looks real to the unsuspecting buyer like myself.   Do you have a link or proof of the sale of title and tags?   I'm just trying to figure out how the guy could match the firewall tag, dash tag and vin near a/c area without being caught.

My concern is if that car is  fake, how am I supposed to find one that is not.   I've have been in the market for a 69, but it appears every car I see is a SS forgery or otherwise.   One guy tried to sell me a car with a 6 cyl dash tag, no tag under the hood and a V8 telling me it was an original V8.

I have pretty much concluded whatever I buy will be a fake and I should just decide how much I want to pay for said fake.  Haha.  or is there another way to verify these cars.

Last, lets say its a fake.   Its a good looking one.  What is a car like that worth?
