On the Rick's website you can see what the 67 parchment Firebird seats looked like:

I think on the Classic Industries I saw turquoise and gold seat covers with incorrect black inserts, so there are incorrect or somewhat customized covers sold.

Originality / Re: Paint

According to the CRG table, there were only three exceptions or variations to the set bumblebee stripe color "rules", and Tahoe Turquoise is not one of them.  See the footnotes.  So even with a black vinyl top your nose stripe should be white, unless you had special order paint which would be indicated on the trim tag.  From my 67 paint code information, Ermine White and Tuxedo Black were used for the striping.

I've not found any vendor selling just the rotor, since CC stopped offering them.

Sounds like you've already read the section on this site on sheet metal date code stamping.  They can be hard to spot, sometimes the repaint is very thick, or the stamp may have been struck light or half way off of the corner, etc.  FWIW, it may not be as apparent as the pictures in the CRG write-up and may require removal of the paint.  Use a stripper or paint thinner if you have to remove the paint, not a wire brush or abrasive blaster.

This was from a thread a couple years ago, however I just checked the Camaro Central site and it appears they no longer offer just the rotors

I'd say the rust at the bottom of the passenger side fender sort of kills his "rust-free car" claim.

All it needs is custom shag carpeting.

If you have the assembly instruction manual, see UPC U80 for the wire routing for the single rear speaker.  It would go down the passenger side under the rocker panel gutter cover.  Depending on what's been done to the car, you might even find remnants of the cardboard speaker housing or fasteners. 

And an old thread from the TC site that describes the speaker housing location:
http://www.camaros.net/forums/31-convertibles/53423-rear-speakers.html

Here's a thread that shows 69s with two rear speakers, but should give you and idea what to look for

« on: July 21, 2016, 09:52:22 PM »

1967 L48 with C60 and M35, LOS build of 11B estimated to be about 11/15/66 (K250 Fisher Body scheduling code), UK tag, OG and HI tanks with a date of K between the O and G.  Also has an odd BG small tag along the HI tank which we could not determine its meaning, appears to be some sort of Harrison plant code.

Only states he is selling the TT in the description, but hints that he has other "parts" for sale and has the VIN plate and title just barely in the shot.  What a scumbag.
