I have information on 4 1967/68 Camaros with GM FRANCE homogolation/ID plates, indication that GM France modified these cars in the France GM plant. Did GM France assemble CKD pkgs in France ??

I'd be interested to see the info, but the VIN's on the French-tagged cars that I've seen indicate they were not assembled in France.

He bought the car about 4 years ago off of ebay. Those are the original tags....

Steve, it was a white painted top.

Fisher defined the calendar however they wanted - the weeks varied.

A calendar is also on the site: http://www.camaros.org/numbers.shtml#Calendar

RPO P06 - trim rings. Don't see them too often. Hides most of the wheel color.

Depends on what you are trying to do.
http://www.camaros.org/forum/index.php?topic=4896.0 tells how to add a pic to a post.

If you're adding a pic as an avatar, you may have problems. I fixed part of the problem, but the forum can't resize pics right now.  Doug is working on the email issue first, since it's more pressing.

If you upload an avatar, make sure it's smaller than 65x65 pixels and it should work.

*Every* 67 powerglide has the format that I showed. No exceptions in the database.

I'd say it's an earlier trans. All 67 model year used the other forum - e.g. T7T04D.

For new people trying to sign up, there is a verification issue with the CRG forum. It appears that the server can't send the emails to confirm the registration email address. Looks like the problem occurred around 1/26.

If you've signed up but can't complete the process, email me and I can do it manually.

Test Drive / Posting pictures information

« on: February 01, 2009, 04:14:17 PM »

You can upload pictures directly from your hard drive by using the "Attach" box. The "Attach" box shows when posting a new topic or a reply, but not when using "Quick Reply". Images must be 200kB or smaller - if they're larger, re-size them.

Or you can host them on a photo site (Photobucket, Village Photos, etc.) and put the url or img link to the picture(s) in your post.

3/2022
I added some software to the site that allows for larger pictures and it automatically downsizes the pictures. Seems to work pretty well, but if the original photo is really large, the compression may still be larger than the 200kB limit. It will either tell you that or it may show an error.
btw, it automatically downsizes the pictures to 1024 wide x 800 high (or whichever is greater), so that fit on the screen better.

I just made the 'Additional Options' feature not collapsible. Which means it will show all the time now when replying. That should help people find it easier.

John,
Why no?

The disc and drum spindles are the same except for that boss. Pretty easy to convert them to disc spindles on a mill.

The 2 pc rotor didn't affect the spindles.

I'd say the tag is real. Probably an export car.

General Discussion / Re: How Many 67 Camaros were built with HD Disk Brakes?

« on: January 31, 2009, 02:12:04 AM »

HD discs and manual discs are not the same thing.
No way of telling how many manual discs were ordered, but they are not real common.

http://www.camaros.org/suspen.shtml#Brakes has info.
