I looked up in1969 parts book 3923194 is for big block cars only it like what came on my 396 car. The parts book say's the lower muffler 3925797 is for all 68 Camaro's except 396. I have one of a 68 327 Camaro that looks like the bottom muffler that I took of a car years ago do not know the date code off that car since it was a parts car. Hope this helps.

I just looked on this groups site went to numbers decode then special paint link there is nothing about black tail panel delete! But does talk about stripe delete being special paint car and talks about -codes where paint code should be. Also talked to the original again since this started he said again car was stripe delete but had black tail panel. Cant wait to get finished and put the top done and go for a ride

I have been a been a Camaro fan for along time. I try to help people out with question's about the Camaro when I can. I do not know it all that is why I like this group to learn more. I do a lot off research with part's books & assembly manuals. I do not try to offend anybody. But I did a lot off research on my car because I thought it was odd about the - on my cars trim tag when I bought in 1981. I mostly keep out off the conversation unless I now something is wrong. Been in Gm parts since 1986. I really enjoy this sight the people are real good people & that is what this group about helping people with information about the Camaro's

As stated before 68 Big Block cars with black tail panels stripe delete cars. I talked to both original owner's who special order the cars without stripe's.  One owner worked for Chevrolet in 1968 stilled owned the car  when I saw the car both had - where the paint code on trim plate. Other car I own the car since 1981 has -1 where the paint code is on the trim tag.  Did title search in my state & got MSO & original Dealer invoice plus all owner's names talked to original he stated to the dealer if it came with a stripe he would not take the car. Other previous owners stated car had no stripe. Further more If you will look at the trim plate section in this group it talks about. It show - being used on trim plate for stripe delete car as they were considered special order cars Do not no about z28's. It is shame that other people have shown you to this link on trim tags but yet you fail to look! Sorry for the long message but if I was not 100% sure what I was talking about I would keep my mouth shut . I have nothing to gain because I hope to never sell my car.

The gentleman I talked to  years ago car that had factory color 68 l78 car had never been repainted did have black tail panel. As for my  68 corvette bronze Camaro the original owner told the dealer he would not take the car if it came in with a stripe on it. He sold the car in 1970 but he special ordered it & remembered every option on it. It also had the black tail panel.  So my question is why do they talk about the special paint car & stripe delete car having a - instead of paint codes in the Camaro forum in the trim tag section in this group if was not so! I have owned the car since 1981 & had very reputable car collector look at  car. Asked me why  I didn't stripe the car showed him trim tag saw the -  for paint code  first word he said was stripe delete car. His name was Chuck Hanson.

About 20 years ago I met a gentleman who was the original owner off his car and his car had had a -2 on the trim tag it no stripes l78 car original paint car. I asked him about the code - he told me that his was special paint car  that they left off the paint code on the trim if was stripe delete car . He worked  for gm. Hope this helps.
