not sure why they would have painted  over stripes if was survivor.
The "3" in the vin# looks modified or is a blurred photo.

Original Factory style AC firewall. No one would put in a custom engine and then add factory AC to a non factory AC firewall. Much simpler to add aftermarket.

I ended up ordering a top from SMS in Canby Oregon. They make it to your specs. Mine was sent to me using NOS vinyl. It's the valance that is the problem mostly. The outside edge of the seam lines up with the inside edge of the stainless window trim...Joe

50 year old vinyl?

.

Is it my imagination, or are the pulleys out of alignment?

I had a high winding small block with pulleys like that and it frequently sent the fan belt flying.

Window sticker is a reproduction in my opinion.

Well, the window sticker dealer does not match the NCRS shipping report dealer, so there is that.

I always thought that more than a few fake window stickers would be called out when the NCRS shipping repots became available.

Does the car require a restoration? 68 are bastard years and without original documentation to show a timeline, it’s difficult at best.


What's difference between documenting a 68 vs a 69 van nuys car, or first 4 months of Norwood production car, or any car with a questionable trim tag?

If you are using an X code or group 4 code as the sole documentation of a first gen, you get what you deserve.

JFStoltz, not sure what you think is a short turn around. What is the date on your trim tag?

Oh, I see... I know you should not see the rivets. So the dash isn't pulled over far enough? Are those rivets correct GM?... D

Rivets should be the rosette type, installed from the bottom, so you can't tell in this picture.

MANY issues besides the block. Check out the dash VIN plate. Danny

I don't see anything wrong with the VIN tag, rivets, or how it's mounted. The dashpad however, should be covering the back of the rivets. Thats a dashpad issue.

Any truth or confirmed source for the Facebook rumor I saw that he passed away?

There is no actual door buzzer. The buzzing is accomplished by back feeding the horn relay. What you are looking for is a horn relay. Hope that helps you search.

This person claims CRG has a report on his car stating his 69 was shipped to Canada new without a motor or tranny.

The thread is not closed. The OP in question wrote that title, and he keeps changing the title many times to add to confusion.

It's just an unstable person talking about a CRG report on foreign production. Thread will get deleted soon, as the person he is arguing with is a long term moderator.
