Among other things I will be looking for a set of donut spares to roll my chassis on preferably something like these: Mid- to late 90's S-10 pickup compact spares (T155/80D16 or T155/90D16) If you have or see them please let me know. I hope to be there Thursday or Friday.

is the 0 right next to a rivet? I'm thinking 10B = second week of October.
72 72 = hugger orange body & top (no vinyl or vert) = stripes are white.

Post a good photo of your trim tag. Is or was there a vinyl top? If so what color?
To figure it out for yourself, look here: http://www.camaros.org/numbers.shtml#ExteriorColors:T:1969

I believe AMES (Pontiac vendor) sells the spoiler springs for the firebird. Probably the same spring, don't know the quality of the reproduction.

Dang, didn't notice that, thought spell check was just capitalizing the c in Camaro. No spell check this time.

Fight the good fight, and pray. Others will join you.

OFF LIMIT for me is big dollar date correct factory parts

Rich, I'm on a similar track with my 307 PG. It will never be a big dollar collector car, it doesn't make sense to spend stupid money for a rare date correct but still not original part. I am mildly upgrading as I go. It will be years before sunlight sees my car again, but it will have upgrades for safety and reliability. Looks will be kept stockish, patch panels will be used where possible instead of full panels, some may be Pontiac (not NOS) I like the idea of the Trans Am spoiler and the hood tach, might be interested in an l88 hood. The missing vinyl top will be replaced, I also plan on the dx1 stripe, sound will be modern but discreet, and less than a bazillion watts.  For now it sits in the garage, some of it in boxes. The kids, my wife, and my school are higher priority for both my time and money. Yep, almost 60, back in school, starting over again. I still have my 69 Camry, and when money and time allow, I will continue to get things done on it until I drop, or I drive it. Bought it in the 90's, still haven't driven it. Maybe I'll actually meet some of you at the Charlotte AutoFair in April. Hoping I can make at least one day of it, and add a little to my project.

Might try putting them in the freezer for a bit before you return them. Might or might not shrink them enough to go in easy. Good luck either way.

Saw that part of the show. They said he could order options, color etc, but it would be the first retail 2014 Camaro.

If you have a paper type in line filter, it could have collapsed.
