When I rebuilt the front susp on my GTO about 5 years ago, it was wire-wheel cleaned and cast blast. I've driven it a lot and through any weather and it's held up pretty well.
But that was years ago. Since then we blast and epoxy anything that gets the cast paint, and even now we use "real" paint rather than rattle for the cast color.
If you MUST go natural, just clear coating the bare metal doesn't work so well. Clear isn't made to bite into it. I've found (after a lot of experimenting) that using an etching solution helps a lot.

Camaro Research Group Discussion / Restoration / Re: 67/68 vs. 69 Rear Spoiler

The 67-8 Camaro has narrower rear 1/4s than a 69. The "short" spoiler used in 68 was carried over into the 69 model year, with the transition to the wider spoiler being pretty much finished around the end of Feb 69.
The long 69 spoiler won't work on a 67.
