great reference picture mike it's interesting that the date stamp on the decal moved around so much, hope fully we will get some people posting august cars if there really are any ? Jerry MacNeish's book shows 1 car that has it but looks to be a repop sticker, so guess his book and hoopers book are inconsistent.

I have been told the pic in jerrys book is actually repop sticker along with the dx tire sticker, so there is just one version after all.

Originality / august 1969 norwood built camaro does anybody have an original vin decal?

« on: February 17, 2011, 07:39:42 PM »

I Heard from John Z among others that in september 0f 69 all camaros got the vin decal applied to thier cars. My question : DOES ANY CAMARO OWNER OUT THERE HAVE A NORWOOD AUGUST BUILT CAMARO WITH THE ORIGINAL VIN DECAL?
 
NOTE: I do have jerrys book and have seen the posts concerning the pic with vin 671208, I have been unable to verify this as an original vin sticker and have multiple people tell me this sticker is reproduction as well as his dx tire sticker. So I put the question out there to our camaro universe, please post a pic if possible . I posted a september pic as a reference.

thank you

69 Z
date: 08C

I understand that, but in Jerry's book it shows a pic of the vin decal on 671208 (i have been told this was a repop sticker in the pic). and that they began applying the sticker the first week of august 69. So my question is how early and how consistently did they start putting these on 69 camaros. I think my drivers side door had a touch up done at one point, I have a 08C car should mine have it?

also it looks like from another post they changed the sticker format a little after a couple of months the last line just said "above" instead of "shown above"

thats funny well I only have a couple of things that aren't original to my car, and the shocks is one of them. If i do find an original set, is there anybody that can rebuild them? I like to drive mine as well, so they would have to be functional.

I talked to his son, sounds like I may have to make a trip to the dealership and see if Sr. is around and may have some of the early photos. I have talked to Plymouth historical society and you can pay them to research a topic for you or go there, go through a strip search so your not taking materials with you and research yourself. I have run into one other guy that was selling a corvair that had the p.o.p. but he didn't have anything else.
thanks for the help. On a separate note John, I have gone through the originality catagory and have seen how informative you are, any ideas on locating an original pair of spiral shocks for my 08C 69 Z?
thanks again

Hi fellas,

I am looking for any info concerning the dealer of JIM EDELBROCK CHEVROLET. I purchased my current Z a couple of years ago, it had been an original owner car for all of its life, except 8 months. I am hoping I am not the only Camaro owner out there that has heard of this dealer and someone can help me out. he was located at 345 N. main st. in plymouth Michigan. The location then became Lou LaRiche chevrolet and in 71 or 72 they moved a few blocks away. While I was fortunate enough to get an orgy of paperwork with the car and an original dealer key fob, I have been unable to locate an original picture of the dealership, or any other memorabilia ( of course a dealer license plate frame is one of the items on my wish list). So if anyone has any info or items for this dealer, POST IT

thanks

« on: February 14, 2011, 10:31:40 PM »

Is there any difference betweeen the AMK and Paragon tower clamps and the originals? I remember on another board someone saying the repop ones are thiner and harder to work with. Did all the tower clamps have a date code on them?
I am looking for a set of original radiator clamps 2 top and 2 bottom, as well as original heater hose clamps, if anybody out there has replaced theres and would like to sell them  to getting me closer to completing my puzzle...lol

thanks for the help
