My original pulley doesn't have any letters, just the 3927116 part number & they are curved. The assm date on my 325hp car is 8/28/1969....Joe

"AO" & "YA" is the code for the SS wheels. It is by the valve stem on every one of that type wheel I've looked at for GM. No code, not GM. Ford used them also...Joe

Only Camaros to have arm rests in the rear are cars with fold down rear seats, 1967 deluxe, & all convertibles….Joe

That's a good thought. My friends LA 02B is car color. The 12k NOR 05A 375hp is car color & I just picked up an original paint valance & no signs of black. It has a run number of 42....Joe

Joe... fascinated by that car, what’s the back story?
Agree the tag date is 03E.

A friend of mine in Utah bought that car a few months back. I'll get with to see if he wants to do a story.
I thought it was interesting, both cars painted the same. Both car were HO, black top with black stripes & both cars have the emblems in the exact same place. My friend's is a RS....Joe

James (Firstgenaddict) posted this about a picture I posted on Yenko. Thank you James for bringing it to my attention.

In reference to the bracket shown resting on the roll of Blue shop towels (spot welded to the lower valence in the center)
 There is a painting note in the AIM UPC 11/13 SHEET B6. (MASK BRACKET WHEN PAINTING VALENCE PANEL) Pretty sure the bracket should be black flow coat primer.

I had also read this in the AIM but never could find any cars with original paint to support this so I left it alone. Was this something that happens real early & was dropped or what do other know? I'm trying to do this car as correct as I can without creating a trailer queen. Thank you, Joe
