Restoration / Re: 69 DRIVESHAFT PAINT MARKS

They are just ID marks. The plant knew what the stripe combos meant. There were only 2 or 3 different shafts used every year.

I deleted his extra, duplicate posts.

What's the VIN? I'd have to see a pic of the cowl VIN. What about the heater VIN?

I've seen a few of these Jan blocks like this.

But from what you said, the block is too late for an 02B car.

I think Charley (and GaryL) summed it up pretty well.
With a completely assembed car, it's hard to verify the body is original. If it's done right, it can be hard to tell on a primed shell, no less a completed car.

Jerry has been traveling. I'm not sure what else he would add anyway. He told you what he found. Anything more detailed would be in the report, which is between him and the person who had the appraisal done.

I edited per Gary's request. He was able to edit his own posts on TC.

The only thing that seems fishy here is the rash of opioniated newbies

So noted.....

I'm not sure when the change to hi-po occurred, but it was in place by 67. I think all (except Corvair and Corvette).

Gary asked us to edit his comments in that discussion. I took the post down while that happens.

Restoration / Re: How can you tell if a comfort grip wheel is original to the car?

« on: October 21, 2008, 02:30:40 AM »

I'm a doubter. Too early, that's before the wheel was announced. Bet he was thinking of the N34 wood wheel.

..Now...?? Should i POST MY...V.I.N of my car in the ORPAN section..??

Nope. Read the guidelines for the orphan section - it's only for posting about paperwork or drivetrain that looking for the car.

How BJ and the owner wish to present it is up to them. But it could leave them liable in the event of an uphappy buyer.....

In the mid-60's, the SS package was an appearance package and you could get L6's with it. By 67, it was a performance package for Chevrolet (ie no L6's).

It's not a twin. It's the same car (well, same VIN).
The car reappeared on ebay a year ago with a partially restored shell. I thought it could be that someone had fixed the shell that you had.
Now it's a finished car and Jerry did appraise it. I told him I wasn't sure if the original shell was with the tags and a note about that appears in his report.
