Clem, I don't think anyone here is trying to devalue the car or protect Jerry, during his inspection Jerry still did confirm this was a numbers matching '69 Z28 and that is great news. We had an opportunity to chat a few weeks ago and I found you to be a very pleasant car guy, you definitely knew your stuff and did not seem like someone who would forget most facts especially the color of this car,  you were very clear in our conversation about the color and how you ordered the car. Wish we could just get away from this paint discussion and focus on a very cool restoration of a '69Z.

Why haven't the Norwood guys and gals chimed in...in the past or now? Especially in the past if procedures were not expressed to there recollection?

I think this is a valid question, keep in mind most of these folks did this as a job and may not actively be in hobby, they would also be 43+/- years older and perhaps do not utilize technology like some of us do. It also took someone to organize them, spend his own money, interview each one of them and translate that information into a book and I am sure this was not easy to do. I have always been a person that tries to see the other side of the story as well. I have read this string and there might be a legitimate reason why Phil may not be able to answer specific questions or provide examples from his book, maybe publishers/distributors don't want to see that...No idea if his information is correct or inaccurate but with anything else in life you will need to decide for yourself. Personally, being in the hobby actively for a few years and still learning I would order a copy of the book and see for myself.

Neat color for sure and a very unique Z28. There is a thread on Team Camaro that Brad posted about finding the car, connecting with Clem for the original documentation and the current restoration.   

The Sellers response to the question on E-Bay was a little funny as he was trying to get his point across and not really hiding anything, by the nature of his response I get the sense he truly believes it's the real deal and offering a money back guarantee to prove his point. I am not an expert with these stamping so don't know either way. I think wilma99 is a Yenko.net member, If it's the same person he usually has some pretty cool cars for sale and is a very active member.

Hi there,

Looking for a CRG Member that can check out a '69 Big Block Camaro for me that is for sale in San Antonio. Car is a running/driving project, I just need a member to confirm information, take pics and give me their overall opinion. Any help would be appreciated, please email or PM me if you are able to help.

Thanks 

Azure Turquoise, Ivory interior and a flat hood what's not to like..look forward to seeing more pictures for sure. Your old '70 was also a cool looking car.

The Trim Tag will have an X33 or X77 on Norwood built Camaros however there are exceptions. Pre X code vehicles and anything built at the VanNuys/LA plant did not use an X-Code. These cars are often confirmed by using engine, transmission and rear end stampings (mostly engine stamping). The Vin will let you know if the car was a V8, V6 and coupe or convertible.

Do you have a photo of a CBU stamp?  I don't think I've ever seen one, so maybe it's not like I was expecting..?
or maybe Bryon can post a pix of his as he has a C BU code??

Here you go Gary....

Build date 08E (Z28)
Casting number 3969341
Assembly stamp CBU 0828 G2
Casting date H139
                           

Agree with Fred, trim tag looks legit.

Congrats Steve and Bryon I have read your posts many times.

Happy New Year everyone...

This dealer has been around for a while, I think they sell on consignment. I remember they had a Dusk Blue '69 Z for sale on their website site. I contacted them and spoke to someone who seemed somewhat knowledgeable but the car had been sold. He told me they have access to all kinds of private collections and could get what I need. I guess after reading the above posts they can also apparently build me anything I need....

Thanks Ed for finding the thread, your new name is Mr. Database....

Was doing the usual tour on E-Bay looking at parts and cars, came across this ad and the sellers claim is TC and CRG Members have confirmed the trim tag to be real and car is in the database. Interesting part is no vin or link provided to any thread confirming the claim. Does anyone remember the car and perhaps the accompanying thread discussion? From the one pic posted the trim tag looks a little beaten up.
