Did GM ever make a Right Outside Remote Control mirror back in 69?
No, just the dealer installed standard right side mirror.

Thanks for the input Mark. I'm going to see what State Farm has to say about spending the $$$ on NOS, but I've also heard that later NOS stuff was junk as well. Incorrect size, bad fit, indistinct lines, etc...

It depends on the build date on the car, not the engine build. However, going by the engine code, I'm guessing your car was assembled in early September, 1969, so neither of these would be close enough. You should find one dated late August, 1969. But again, it depends on your cars build date.

Thanks Paul, but I'm not sure State Farm will pay NOS prices! I should be able to get away with $700.00 though. I sent you an email regarding the price of the NOS fender.

Yep. Front right (passenger) side.
The lady merged into his lane without looking. Jason slammed on the brakes, honked his horn and pulled over to the left, but there's a concrete divider in the middle of the road, so he could only go so far. He made tire tracks several inches up the divider!!
She also put a very small crease in the passenger door, but that can be easily fixed.
State Farm (her insurance company) has accepted responsibility so they'll get the bill.

Mark, any comments on the NEW OER FENDERS? Much more expensive than the other OEM fenders. They have nothing in the way of a description on the site, but in the catalog it says:
They're $690.00 as opposed to the other OEM fenders they carry ($240.00), but they say nothing about the metal thickness.
I ask because my son got into a slight fender bender a few weeks ago and I'm looking at replacing the fender instead of trying to pound it out. (It also has rust damage at the rear, so that would have to be fixed as well.) The other drivers insurance company is paying for it, so I can go expensive if I want!

We now offer these 196x Camaro OEM reproduction fenders manufactured from the original GM tooling!

No, the Broadcast copy wouldn't stipulate what kind of exhaust or if the battery cables were top or side post. It would depend on when the car was assembled.

Box 198 (FM) is Z28 and Pacecar. It's possible it has other applications as well.
Box 254 (MF) is Z28, and again, other possibilities as well.
Box 256 (BF) is standard V8 and Z28 with other possibilities again.

I think the PDF is a typo and should be November instead of August (which was what I was quoting). I checked a few other sources and they all have November 25th, 1968.
However, the number produced (1526) is consistant with the other sources as well, so that's correct.
I'll have Kurt take a look at the PDF.

The system was standard on all Z/28, L34, L78, and L89 untill Nov 25th, '68
Not quite. It was only standard until August 25th, 1968. After that it was optional until May 19th, 1969, and the official Chevrolet records indicate only 1526 cars came with ROP NC8.
More info HERE.

Those are replacement mounting plates that were being sold for a long time until the "correct" ones were available.
Here's the "correct" one for the LEFT, and here's the "correct" one for the RIGHT.
(I say "correct" because originals weren't laser cut, so I really don't know how "correct" they are.)
Looks like you're also missing your PARKING BRAKE CABLE BRACKETS.

Remove all your belts, place them in a pillow case, tie wrap the opening and wash them in the washing machine. That's what I always do.

To be hones Jason, it sounds like it needs a TON of work and even if it was complete and all numbers matching, todays economy is just God awful so it's not worth a lot of money. I'm thinking in the 3-5k range, but only because of the engine. The rest is really worth nothing.
Can you send us the VIN, the Trim Tag info and the engine pad stamp? Maybe a few of the car itself? I'd like to add your car to the database. (Pictures would be great, but if you don't have a camera, just the numbers will be fine.)
My email address is in my profile.
Thanks

back in 74 I purchased a beautiful Seafrost Green 68. It's a very subtle green and depending on the lighting conditions, it can look green, or silver with a hint of green to it, so that's probably what it was. HERE'S a few examples.
