My 01D 1967 RS SS has the SS 350 emblems on the front grill, gas cap, and horn button too.

My 1967 Tahoe Turquoise coupe with a black vinyl top came with a black bumble bee stripe.  I think the stripe always matched the vinyl top color, unless a car was maybe special ordered by a dealership.  I'm not  sure about if the black stripe was Tuxedo black or not.

Thanks Kurt for the info on my car.  I knew it was owned at some time in the past in PA.  I was told that was the second owner.  The third owner restored it in MO, and I bought it from him.  So as far as I know I am the fourth owner.  I had tried to find info about the original owner but to no avail.  The NCRS shipping report only shows it going to the Cleveland Zone Office; no original delivery dealer is listed.

2nd design axle bracket; no body bracket, just the 2 bolts coming thru the floor
VIN is 124377N178723
rear axle is QK 0120 G
unfortunately I have no documentation for it

General Discussion / First Gen Wheels

« on: September 09, 2016, 08:29:37 PM »

I was looking thru the wheels section in the CRG options listing and was surprised at the number of wheel covers and hub caps available that I've never seen on a first gen Camaro, either in person or in a photo on the net or in a car magazine. 
It is correct then that in 1967 the rally wheel was only available on a Camaro with disc brakes?
Does anyone know why GM started production of the N66 5 spoke steel wheel (I'm guessing only available as an option on a SS) for the 1969 model year and then stopped production so quickly in early Jan., 1969?  Did they not sell enough to offset production costs or find a design flaw in the wheel? 
I've always liked the styling of that wheel.  Chrysler I know offered a very similar wheel in the late '60's-early '70's that they called a chromed steel road wheel.

Vince my wife is also is ND fan. So I second smoke the irish in football season, and then I.U. and Butler during basketball season.

Being born in and living my whole life in California I sometimes wonder how I became such an Irish fan, but I can remember the 1966 national championship season under Ara, those gold helmets, and this teen kid was so impressed by it all that no other team ever caught my heart like they did.
