Pretty well optioned car. Deluze, AC, PB, PS, vinyl top.

Tag matches the VIN - I agree with Bill that it's original.

I'm sorry now I'm confused, I thought Bill said that the rivets look non-orginal.

 My favorite (sorry I don't have a copy of it) is the one with a 69 Corvette and a 69 RS/SS Camaro sitting in a barn and it says "Will take on any two cars in the magazine"

RamAir that is a gourgous 69! I was thinking today that I could paint both the cowl hood and the stock hood and also do a second deck lid with the spoiler and switch them from time to time.

 the seller states that it appears to be a 307 car, but wouldn't it be a 327 car being an early build?  Also if I may ask how can you tell the rivets are not stock? They appear too like like what I've seen? I'm not questioning just hopeing to become educated about the rivets.

  I love stock cars and at present I have a 67 RS, 70 RS/SS 396 and a 71 SS350 and they are as stock as I can get them (still hunting down some correct pieces for them). I love going to a car show and seeing a first gen Camaro that is the way it came from the factory, and most showes I go too you will see a dozen first gen cars and if your lucky maybe one that has not be hot rodded or the color changes. It seems they all have cowl hoods and spoilers; I however have always wanted a 69 with the ZL2 hood and front and rear spoilers. This car is a great color Hugger Orange with black vynal top and interoir, style trim exterior (Z21) and the RPO Z23 in the interior. I know I would never get my money out of it nor any of my cars for that matter. I'm just torn beteewn leaving it all stock or adding the spoilers, hood and maybe D90 or Z stripes and looking like 95% of the other 69's.                                                                                                                                                            Thanks for everyones    opinion                                                                                                                                                         P.S. as soon as I car the car home I will get a photo of the trim tag and VIN and other data for the regerstery.

 If you ran accross a 69 307 turbo 350 car that appeared to be all stock, but needs restored would you leave it that way? I like original cars but I usually stick to cars that have a more performance drive train in them. Is it worth restoring a 307/350 car back to stock?

 If you want to learn more about second generation Camaro's I recemond this site decated to only second gens.

http://www.nastyz28.com/forum/index.php

Understand that I'm not saying don't come to this site or that the people on this site don't know second gens because I know they do, but the above site has a lot of great information.

  I would suggest you get a factory assembly manual. It can be picked up from most restoration part houses (year one, The paddock, National Parts depot, ect) and it will show you how it went together, parts needed along with part numbers. This wont help you with finding the parts but at least you'll know what your looking for.

Hope it helps

« on: May 19, 2007, 03:54:05 AM »

  I know of a hispanic girl ( probably in her mid to late 30's)here in Reno who has a dusk blue 69 with dark blue interior. Has rust over the rear quarters, bad crunch in the drivers side fender, broken grill, bent bumper, valance, header, hood. Interior is so so but would need redone. Its still got the 307 emblems on the passanger fender and is a 3spd auto with floor shifer, and the full face hub caps. I have seen the car for years, and I was in a grocery store parking lot about 4 months ago, and she was putting groceries in the car. So I asked if she wanted to sell it. I don't know if she understood what I was asking or not, but she just looked at me and simled, never said a word. I took that to be a no.

General Discussion / Re: What was the top Camaro? SS or Z/28

« on: May 14, 2007, 11:03:52 PM »

FlowJoe: No offence taken.

  My opinion is they were/are both great cars, but the Z/28 was the better all around performance package. The L89/L78 & L34 SS 396's were very quick and great drag/stoplight to stoplight cars but didn't handel like the Z/28. It just came down to what you wanted.

 I did not intend to start any arguments, and please keep the opinions comming.

Thanks

Oh by the way at this time on NastyZ28 the Z28 has a slight lead.

General Discussion / What was the top Camaro? SS or Z/28

« on: May 14, 2007, 05:12:19 AM »

  This is how it was presented on the Nastyz28 second gen site so I presented it the same way here. At this time on that site most people feel that the SS was the top level of first gen Camaro. My personal opinion is it depended on what you wanted, the Z/28 was the better all round car, while the SS 396 would be the better stop light to stop light car. What started the debate on the second gen site was when the Camaro returns in 2009 what should the top performance model be, Z/28 or SS?

Thanks for your replys.

General Discussion / Re: HURST/GM collaboration to put factory T-tops in 67 camaros?

« on: May 06, 2007, 03:04:16 AM »

  The earilest I know of, is in 1970 Hurst made something like that in a Camaro with some kind of open top, ( sorry I don't know if it was a t-top or a retractable sun roof; one or the other though) that was called a HURST SUNSHINE SPECIAL. IIRC they were all daytona yellow in color and they made somthing like 3 of them and two are still known to exist IIRC.
