« on: February 08, 2021, 05:53:27 PM »

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.

« on: May 02, 2019, 02:05:45 AM »

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...

Promotional Events and Concept Cars / 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Berlinetta Lilac Show Car

« on: April 14, 2019, 05:58:53 PM »

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.

Promotional Events and Concept Cars / Black ZL-1 concept car

« on: April 05, 2019, 12:40:14 AM »

This is a very interesting car in my mind.  William may know more...

There is at least one car like this, possibly two.  Or one car that received some modifications over time.

COPO 9567.

Credit for photos to GM. I received them direct.

Promotional Events and Concept Cars / 1969 Z/427 show car / concept car

« on: March 21, 2019, 05:59:54 PM »

This is one that in my opinion should have made it into production.  There is nothing quite like a big block First Generation Camaro. 

Note the mirror, special stripes, front end details and rear deck lid details. 

More pics in this thread from an earlier CRG post.

I think Bill knows more about this car, so hopefully he will chime in.

Promotional Events and Concept Cars / 1968 design study car - Camaro Caribe

« on: March 12, 2019, 02:08:41 AM »

The following information is from a Chevrolet New Release

CHEVROLET'S CAMARO CARIBE

The Camaro Caribe, a Chevrolet design study car exemplifying a sportsman's "dream pickup" in Super Sport form, will be a featured display of the Rod and Custom Show to be held at the Toledo Sports Arena March 7 through 9. . .

Highlights of the Caribe are:
-- A five-foot long pickup box with soft palomino vinyl sidewalls and teak wood floor planks covering four storage wells.
-- A between-seats console extension containing a hot beverage dispenser and cup storage.
-- An aerodynamic roll bar, immediately behind the seats, to control air flow and reduce passenger wind-buffeting.
Other equipment includes: A 396-cubic inch V8 with fully synchronized 4-speed manual transmission and Positraction rear axle; 15-inch aluminum wheels and wide oval tires with brushed aluminum inserts; recessed jet-type front air intake containing small high intensity lamps; rear-mounted lamps flashing at high frequency to provide unusually arresting stop signal; low, header-less windshield supported by narrow pillars; a passenger compartment finished in palomino and ivory vinyls, rich wood accents and charcoal black carpeting; and an exterior color best described as "really red."
