Decoding/Numbers / 1969 firewall graffiti

« on: August 02, 2019, 11:20:23 PM »

I just got my 69 back from media stripping. Found the firewall marks. "C60" in bold letters, a/c. "259" top of the cowl pass side. "DYEL" must mean Daytona yellow. Also found a "DE" & an "87". "DE" might mean Deluxe int. Any thoughts on the unknowns. They didn't photograph very well. Thank you, Joe

Anybody have a picture of all the hardware that goes to the outside brackets of a chrome front bumper? This is the bushing area not the bumper mounting. Can't make out details from AIM. Thank you, Joe

Restoration / Torx door strikers

« on: April 20, 2019, 08:01:33 PM »

I need to find a couple of door strikers for my late 69. Does anybody know the correct GM part number for the ones with torx? I've looked through the parts catalog from 1971 but it doesn't define. Thank you, Joe

« on: January 30, 2019, 10:16:57 PM »

In 1969, did both torsion bars get a sleeve covering or just the one that goes to the LH hinge? Norwood car that doesn't have spoilers. Thank you, Joe

General Discussion / Spoilers

« on: January 11, 2019, 08:54:02 PM »

I was trying to figure out when spoilers were part of the Z/28 package & how many Z/28 may have been sold after that.
I see 19040 spoilers in 1969. Subtract 450-500 for Z10 & 3675 for Z11 leaves approx. 14900 cars that had the spoiler option....Joe

Originality / Late 69 dual exhaust

« on: December 03, 2018, 01:53:58 AM »

My late 69 (8/28/1969) 325hp 396 has no resonators....never did. Also, the LH tail pipe has part number 3958459 which is the part number for the non chrome tail pipe. Both of mine are chrome. RH is a 2 piece pipe. Lower part is chrome. LH is 1 piece but only chrome part way up.
From what I understand this does not fit what is known to be correct. With the exception of the NOS muffler I installed some years ago & a 9" section I grafted in, the rest of the exhaust is "born with" to this car.

Anybody have any ideas why? Thank you, Joe

Restoration / 1969 replacement quarter information

« on: November 23, 2018, 06:39:23 PM »

I need to replace the lower quarter panels on my 69. The patches I find don't have the rear lip for spot welding. The quarter skins don't either. Will the full quarters have this material for spot welding & anybody have a specific brand?
Thank you, Joe

Do the later 69 trunk lid bumpers have a number cast into them? Can't find a good picture. Thank you, Joe
