General Discussion / Re: 1967 Z28 options
« on: January 06, 2019, 05:06:54 PM »
The OP has not clearly stated the way the car was ordered and you two guys interpreted it differently.
1. The car was ordered with a radio and the heater was deleted.
2. The car was ordered with the radio and heater both deleted.
We all know there is no such thing as radio delete but newbies don't so he probably meant #2.
1967 RPO Z28 was for racers and most of the heater delete option cars that went to racers probably did did not order a radio as well.

You can not just put an engine side reproduction BB cover on a SB suitcase, you have to change the whole suitcase
Wow, I've been interested in, owned, and tinkered with camaros for 40 years and did not know that! Is there a thread here, (or on another site) that shows the differences? Or maybe just some comparison pics? Thanks guys, learning more all the time. :)

Read the fine print. Check with reliable parts sellers before you try and fit a BB inner case cover on a SB case.

* This will NOT fit a small block outer case*

The BB AC suitcase is different from the small block.
You can not just put an engine side reproduction BB cover on a SB suitcase, you have to change the whole suitcase and they are not available reproduction.

Most of them looked to be in pretty poor condition, so unless there is something rare there, you would be upside down in any resto.

And if the owner is still alive and has not sold them yet, you can bet they are not for sale. Some people just like to collect and hold.

General Discussion / Re: 1 of 602 Garage Find in California
« on: December 24, 2018, 06:44:47 PM »
If you read the comments on FB there is a lot more details.

The car was owned by a Car And Driver magazine photographer/contributor. He debadged it at some point and touched up the paint. The rest is supposedly original.

The current owner was a friend of the original owners family. Not sure how new this find is, there are plenty of pictures of it cleaned up and at car shows and it's always been known to be a rare car. It's also supposedly featured in a new book coming out about Camaro's

no responses should give you the answer your looking for.If you know any of the other cars no responses should give you the answer your looking for.Too much PC in that world.

Definitely a different crowd over there. Good cars seem to change hands privately. Other member cars are not really criticized. Comments on cars for sale are like: that's a real beauty, GLWS, and would love to have it. About the most critical thing you can post there would be "shouldn't a solid lifter car have a 6K redline?" and you can't even post comments or questions in the classifieds without being a paid member.

Seller and his collection are well known in the SuperCar / Yenko.net circle. You can check over there if you have a serious interest in buying.

COPO Connection used to keep a list and issue certificates, but is now defunct. And nobody talks about them anymore.

Don't know the car, but did see it in an email from Mecum as part of the Main Attraction Paul Offutt Collection.

https://www.mecum.com/auctions/kissimmee-2019/collections/paul-offutt-yenko-collection/

Curious why there is no VVS paperwork, and when did Mecum stop putting VIN's in the auction listing?

This car is in/from the rust belt and is being advertised in Southern California. 
No one in their right mind in SoCal is going to buy and ship this crust bucket to the area of rust free cars. Especially a NOM project car with no provenance.

How can the gang stamp be misaligned the if it's real?

It's pretty obvious the MP suffix was hand stamped after the assembly plant and date was gang stamped.

May have something to do with it being an early and special engine build, especially being a smog variant.

Just goes to show you can't really judge a stamp on it's own. You need to have a data base of known good stamps in the same time period.

A couple of those pictures look like they were taken at a restoration shop. Probably had sticker shock!

You are not going to find a vinyl stripe kit for the front header and fenders because the compound curves will not allow it to fit correctly.

A google image search of the whole WWW is not going to be very helpful.
Over the years, there have been plenty of examples of original paint documented cars posted here, on TC, and on Yenkonet.
I would search those sites for BB original paint cars.
Here is one of those examples. This is an original documented car. Picture by a renowned collector and frequent contributor to these sites.

Decoding/Numbers / Re: Caveat Emptor...altered/swapped tag
« on: November 05, 2018, 06:38:18 PM »
That tag has definitely been reattached. The question is why would somebody change out the tag to such a low option non popular color tag. The only reason I can think is the original tag went missing when it was removed to paint the firewall and any old replacement they could find was attached.

That front right fender looks to be a late 80's replacement from GM. By the time they stopped selling them, the fit was terrible. Look how poor it fits around the grill.
