Not sure if this car has been discussed before or not.

It’s NOT Butternut Yellow. Too bright.

Can’t get photo to load, will resize and try later.

1968 - Orphans / 124378L339666 docs
« on: May 12, 2021, 09:54:28 AM »
I was recently able to obtain a large amount of original paperwork for 124378L339666 which was sold from Sunset Chevrolet in Sumner, WA. As a side note, my wife's aunt and uncle lived close to this dealership.

This is a Butternut Yellow coupe, with base 327 and the following options. 4 speed, power steering, Z21 style trim, D91 and D96 stripes, tinted glass, door edge guards, Z23 special interior group, deluxe seat belts, console, AM radio. It was delivered with N96 Mag-Style wheel covers but they were removed before the sale. It did get undercoated, polished and serviced by the dealership before the sale to the owner - Linda F. Vaughn (I don't think this was the famous one).

A fellow CRG member (Warren L.) helped me get the package which included.
The dealer manilla folder with VIN sticker on folder tab from their original files.
Dealer Copy of Car Shipper
Chassis Broadcast Copy
Body Broadcast Copy
New Vehicle Inspection and Adjustment Schedule with POP imprint and key codes (2 pages) dated 5/24/68
New Car Service order to provide new car service, clean and polish dated 6/27/68
Dealer Invoice date 6/29/68
2 Dealer Service work orders. One is dated 4/10/69 to "refinish grill and headlight doors. paint peeled off. was no primer on surface? paint would not stay on. sand thoroughly and refinish." Second one is dated 8/27/69 to "fix leak in exhaust, replace gasket at h.r. valve. also check starting system, fails at times."

The window sticker and POP book were not part of the package, but are not really needed to prove what this car was originally. The drivetrain date stamp details are on the POP imprints are on the vehicle inspection and service docs.

This is a good set of docs for CRG research.

If you all have any paperwork you can share, CRG would like to have it but we would keep it confidential and for research only - if that’s what you want.

Maintenance / Warranty Paperwork
« on: March 08, 2021, 03:40:17 AM »
Warranty paperwork for our old cars seems to be very rare, especially for serious engine work.

With my Silverado which is several years old now, I do have the full detailed paperwork of what they replaced under warranty when I bent a push rod and had a lifter go bad.  They actually replaced quite a bit of stuff and there is a "kit" for this, so it must not be all that uncommon.

BUT, on old stuff, paperwork seems hard to find.

Well I came across something recently.  A valve spring replacement for a 1968 Camaro L78 with 4.10 axle. I know this because I also have the POP.  But attached is the warranty service order from late 1970. Remember, this car would have had a 5 year 50,000 mile warranty. 

Anyway, I thought it was kinda cool.

We are looking for an original survivor car to look at the details of an original 706 interior.

This was for 1967 and it has a mix of black with yellow/gold.

Thanks in advance!

Decoding/Numbers / 8N439756 / 8N439754 POP error
« on: May 19, 2020, 05:26:32 PM »
POP plate is stamped 124378N439756 but the POP book is punched 124378N439754.

Can not say I have personally seen this type of error before.  Also note the tape for the name was installed upside down.

Decoding/Numbers / Partial VIN off by 10,000 - assembly error
« on: April 30, 2020, 03:20:41 PM »
Ran across data on 124378N390002 yesterday.  VIN tag is fine and trim tag fits perfectly with the VIN.

Partial VIN is off by 10,000 - it shows 8N380002.

Car is for sale on as a project with some new parts Facebook and is legitimate. Seems to have maybe been an L30 car. Original engine is gone. Has a 2.73 open 12 bolt axle, air conditioning, rear fold down seat, power disc brakes, power steering.

Promotional Events and Concept Cars / 1967 Camaro Z28 show car
« on: May 11, 2019, 01:03:05 AM »
Scott posted this picture in the Californian thread, but I see a 1967 Z28 show car in the lower left background. This is at the New York International Auto Show. Check the Z-28 license plate.

What else do we know about THAT car?  Scott?  Jon?

I was going to wait a while in order to spread posts out a bit, but here is the 68.

So far I have only the one pic.  And I did one "zoomed in".

Here are some pics. I can try to do some zoomed in crops later.  Enjoy. I am not sure if there was more than one of these, but I imagine there was.

I will try to do the 68 maybe next week.

This car was mentioned in a few other threads, but I felt it deserved it's own thread.

These are the best pics I could get of this car.

Photo credits to GM.  Locations and dates were not listed.

I adjusted the main thread title for future searches.

Obviously this one never made it very far, but interesting...

Pics are labelled as "1967 Chevrolet Carmaro Surfer Two-Door".  Emblem says "Fisher".  See last pic.

Credit for pics to GM, unknown date and location.

Scott has posted some pics of this car before. 

All of these pics are labelled as 1967 Chevrolet Camaro SS Convertible Show Car and dated 11/22/1966
Location: GM Design Center

Scott has posted some pics before in another thread, but this will be a thread specifically for pics of this car.  (My apologies - because I might have had your name wrong previously)

Credit for pics to GM. Date on these pics is 02/20/1967 and the location is listed as GM Design Center.

Enjoy

OK, I am only going to say this once.  I would like to keep this thread focused on this car.  I don't want to dig up any old thoughts or posts about a different car of a certain color.

These 5 images all indicate that they were taken November 19, 1968 and were taken at the General Motors Technical Design Center.  Very cool interior in my opinion, and I also REALLY like the nose stripe!

I have a couple more pics, but I am trying to verify that they are the same car first before I post those.

Credit to GM for the photos and information.
