Originality / Re: V32 Rear Guards on 69 models

I have a set of rusty originals and they have the same black paint on them. I don't think it was a SS blacked out panel thing. Mine came off a Z28. Also Blacked out rear panels didn't extend below the rear bumper that far. Probably just a GM thing to hide the bracket part to not distract from the bumper guard itself.

I have 2 clusters, 1 red and the other blue. Both barely readable. Both the same NA code as yours Bentley. Both are non gauge clusters

Special interior group – grab handle on dash     YES
Vinyl top                               No coded 51-51
Rear defroster                       No
Spoilers                                Had a short rear spoiler when I bought the car in 1988 02B car so maybe
Sport-styled steering wheel     had a 68 wheel on it so no idea
Clock                                    no
Stereo speakers                    Front only
Front/rear bumper guards      Just std rear
Special front bumper              No
Rally wheels                           I think it did, it has the trunk spare mount location at the closest rear location near the body plug, so what spare?
Deluxe seat belts                   No, std 727

Probably no way to know if it had floor mats, door edge guards, HD battery, optional tires. What city & state was it sold in?

Sold in Powhatan VA
I'm pretty sire it had console with no gauges (no firewall piercing for the oil line and no gauge connector on main harness)

Guys, Sorry for stirring the emotional pot here, it was not my intention. I kinda thought this topic would be a cool brain teaser/ fun puzzle kind of game that keeps our minds working. It still amazes me on what small details you guys pick up on from a few pictures on a ebay ad or craigslist posting.

The dealer thing was discussed on the yenko site a year ago here: http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/610351/worth-it-or-just-plain-robbery#Post610351

I have moved on and do not loose any sleep on not having the paperwork. I may try to get in contact in a little while but not in the near future.

I spent the money on better stuff than a piece of paper (ZL1 block) for my big block NOM Camaro. Yes, it started life as a L35  but it is just as cool to ME as any L34, L89, L78, Z28, Z11! I love them ALL, and love the discussion of them. Never worry about offending me I have thick skin and a big heart (don't tell my wife)

My car was built 2/13/ 69   02B
51- 51
727 Int.

Hello all, I have owned my 69 for over 27 years. Last year I got a NCRS report on it. I tracked down the dealers son and he said he had the invoice for my car. Here is the Kicker.... he wants $2000 for it. NO way no how I would pay that. It is a non numbers matching car so it would not increase the value of my car. He did tell me the price on the bottom though.... I thought it would be neat to try to figure it out. I have not come up with the combo that would get me there. ( i don't know what the price changes were and when. So anybody want to give it a shot? Would there be any clues to look for for other options?

Here is what I do know:
69 x22 396/325 with a 4 speed. (trans unknown assuming a m20)
 12 bolt 3:31's posi,
Rally sport,
 small steering arms, power steering,
 disc brakes,
 std interior with wood grain on drivers side,
no tach, no ZL2, no air, crank windows
tinted glass,
aftermarket antenna so no way to know what radio I'm guessing.
It does have the heater box duct for a console but it was not in the car.

The price was $3955.35

Any guesses would be awesome!!!! I will send you a hand crafted wooden bottle opener (or 3) if you can figure out the combo

Scott

Mods if this is the wrong place please move it. Thank you!!!!

I just got back from there today. We went wed and thurs. I go with my brother (we are both swap meet junkies). I found a bunch of stuff I needed at good prices this time. It is nice to see more car parts than lawn construction equipment that we normally see at our local swaps.

Hawk, glad you like them. I think they were used in all models, BB, SB and 6 cyls, due to them all going under frame mount. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

Mike, Do you have a part number for the one you used? I just got my other kits from Scott Last week. I did not see that one listed and when I went to check their web site yesterday it is down until the 9th.
Thanks

That is great to know! How would I clean out the inside of the original? Soak it in acetone? I got the new one in a kit that I bought at a charity auction a bunch of years ago at Camaros at Carlisle
