Sorry I don't have a better picture of the label but it looks like somebody got wild with the glue or they tried to move it before it dried. Survivor car from 05c Norwood

If it's the same as 69, this what it looks like...Joe

I just saw this. My 68, 02E has peaked. The 08E 1969 car has the beveled type....Joe

Thanks Jim and Joe! Yes Joe that helps in more ways than just the dog point long studs. You can really note the glue residue for the posi label.

Chick. That's not the original sticker. the original was a mess so when I had the car painted I recreated the mess with the glue. Not bad eh?...Joe

Sorry for my off-topic post, but I just have to comment on how much I LOVE a '68 in Corvette Bronze!   and a Z28 no less! 

Thank you. Had it a long time...like 45 years...Joe

This is my original spoiler on the original lid. Does this help? LA built 3/13/1968

Just curious, why won,t you be using it Joe?

It looks like my car was built about 3 days prior to when the decals started....Joe

NF2 was with resonators?

NF2 was without resonators & was the standard feature of 1968 Z/28s. N10 was with resonators & was standard on SS models. I wonder if the Z/28 that system came off of was ordered with the N10 option but I really don't see on the option sheet how to do that...Joe

James. I didn't realize 1968 Z/28s had resonators. That contradicts what Jerry MacNeish says in his books. He says the 67/68 Z/28 never had resonators, only the ss350 & 325hp 396. I thought that was a 1969 thing. Thanks for the information. Something I will need to consider once I get all the pieces to put it back to factory. Thank you, Joe

Curt. It doesn't appear the big block cars followed that practice of resornators. I still have my original system on the car. I know of a May 375hp car that's the same as mine..Joe

The chambered exhaust was discontinued before your car was even ordered. The nice thing about your car, like mine, is they came with chrome tail pipes. Whatever you do, I would leave that feature. Both my cars came without resonators & the sound sweet. I'm a purist & i would put it back to how it left the factory..Joe
