Originality / Super rare 1968 N30 wood steering wheel or one off custom made?

« on: February 18, 2017, 07:38:20 PM »

I am always looking for a nice 1968 N30 steering wheel and have seen hundreds of them. I have never seen one like this.  It's either a very rare item, or it was custom made. I am leaning towards custom made. Thoughts?

Decoding/Numbers / 1968 code 716 Dalmation White Trm interior code on window sticker

« on: September 07, 2016, 02:44:13 AM »

I have never seen hounds tooth called Dalmatian and its spelled wrong so I suspect this is a reproduction window sticker.

Also, the trim tag is coded for special paint, but I cant figure out what code HA would be on the WS.

Opinions?

Decoding/Numbers / Nice paper work collection on this 1968

« on: September 20, 2015, 06:23:35 PM »

Nice original looking paper work on this 1968 convertible.

It's not often you see window sticker, POP, Body and chassis broadcast sheets all together.

Interesting that the trim tag is 01D and the engine is 0209. Any explanation?

The site appears all different today. Major format change? Did I miss a memo? Something wrong with my browser? Am I in the wrong dimension? Maybe it's just me...

General Discussion / Documented 1970 RS Z/28 National Press Camaro

« on: November 08, 2014, 09:18:49 PM »

I saw this car on my local Craigslist and thought it looked pretty real. There are often stories about cars being special built for certain events, but this one seems to be documented via the build sheet:

1970 Chevrolet Camaro RS / Z28
 GM National Press Showing / Magazine Cover Car

 This 1970 Camaro Z28 was part of a "National Press showing" in February of '70 and was featured on the cover of at least one automotive publication (see details below) as well as appearing in "Camaro Muscle Portfolio" published by Brooklands Books in 1992. Spending it's entire life in Southern California, the car is in exceptional condition. Originally finished in "Citrus Green Poly", the current owner performed a minor restoration in 2007 and had the body refinished in the factory-correct "Forest Green Poly" with black stripes. A 1970 date-coded 400 cid Chevrolet small block was also installed in addition to numerous upgrades and optional equipment including an RS Front Spoiler. Aside from the original Production Broadcast / Build Sheet, (which states this vehicle is to be used for press purposes), documentation also includes original parts and repair receipts dating back to the late 1970's.

 History:

 In late January 1970, Camaro #3475 pulled out of the GM Assembly Plant in Van Nuys, California three days ahead of it's scheduled February 3rd production date. Specially ordered with both the Z22 Rally Sport Package and Z28 Special Performance Option, the "Citrus Green Poly" & black striped Camaro had already been reserved by Hansen Chevrolet in West Los Angeles. However, before the dealer took full possession of the car, it was fitted with a manufacturer plate (34F 015) and transported to the new car prep lot along with five other Z28's in various color schemes.

 Over the course of the next two weeks, members of the automotive press (including Motor Trend, Car & Driver, Hot Rod and Motorcade) made arrangements to conduct extensive reviews of the new Z28's and either specified or were assigned a particular car. White vinyl adhesive numbers were applied to the front and rear windows of each car with a corresponding spec sheet listing specific trim, options, etc. The "Citrus Green Poly" Camaro was identified as #3 in the group and initially assigned to Motorcade magazine, which featured it on the cover of their May issue. GM Heritage Center has confirmed that only one "Citrus Green Poly" Z28 was part of the 1970 National Press Showing in Southern California and all specs listed in the Motorcade article exactly match this vehicle's original build sheet. The Heritage Center archivists are also in the process of decoding the specially-assigned manufacturer license plates from the 1969-71 period.

It's too bad it's not painted the original color and it's missing the LT1 engine

General Discussion / Nice documents on this 1968 RS/SS 396

« on: June 30, 2014, 06:36:19 PM »

Not often you find a car where the owner seems to have saved everything like this one.
Did the dealer always take a POP imprint when the car was in for service, or did this car have a lot of warranty work done?



Perhaps CRG can use some of these docs for their files. They all look legit to me. What do you guys think, legit or not?

Originality / 1969 Camaro Z/28 Original Transmission and Axle ratio combination

« on: November 28, 2013, 02:36:12 AM »

If you have or had an original 1969 Z/28 and know the transmission type and axle ratio please answer.

The 3.73:1 rear axle was the ratio you got unless something else was checked on the order form.
The other axle options were economy, performance, and special where you specified in the ratio.

Originality / What is the breakdown of 4 speed transmision types in 1969 Z/28's?

« on: November 26, 2013, 09:08:44 PM »

What percentage of 1969 Z/28's had the M20, M21, and M22 transmissions?

Also what percentage had an optional rear axle ratio, i.e. other than 3.73:1?

It seems that there should be a percentage approximation somewhere on CRG but I am unable to find it.

Decoding/Numbers / Canadian POP reissue

« on: July 03, 2013, 04:20:07 PM »

Saw this POP over at Team Camaro.
Is this the type reissued to the second owner under warranty?
Must have been one of the first V8's into Canada with such a low VIN

Decoding/Numbers / Houndstooth in a 68 convertible?

« on: August 03, 2009, 10:13:18 PM »

CRG and my White Book clearly state that houndstooth was not available in a 1969 convertible, except for pace cars.
There is no mention of availability or restrictions in a 1968 convertible. Could this tag be real?

Originality / Did 1968 cars with AC get Astro Ventilation door glass?

« on: June 09, 2009, 03:13:55 AM »

I always thought my early 09E LOS Camaro should have Astro Ventilation glass, but it doesn't.
Then I realized, it's an AC car, it doesn't actally have Astro Ventilation, maybe thats why it's not printed on the glass.
Did AC cars get Astro Ventilation printed on the glass?
