Originality / Legends Update

« on: May 03, 2020, 10:25:45 PM »

Legends Update - the judges have discussed a couple of judging updates. We would welcome and need some input on a couple of updates. First update is on Flashers - Hazard and Turn Signal. The 69 AIM shows the 3928799 Hazard Flasher as Standard with 3904868 and 3934200 as optional. Turn Signal is 390954 as standard with 383638 as optional. The 1968 AIM has these reversed. As does the 67 AIM. The 67 AIM shows the Hazard Flasher as 1381303 as Standard and 3883794 as optional.

From what we know, the Tung-Sol 552 Flasher was standard as a Hazard Flasher with the Signal-Stat 175 as an option for Rally Sport cars. The Tung-Sol 224 Flasher was standard for Turn Signal with the Tung-Sol 552 as an option.  All of these flashers are non-DOT.

Questions that would help us would be - What is the 3rd optional hazard flasher in 1969 ? The Signal Stat 175 went through a change from 1967 to 1968. Was this strictly a model year change or a transitional change? The 1967 Signal Stat is all silver in color. The Tung-Sol 552 also is seen in 2 finishes - silver and a brass/gold color. Is this a model year change or other.?

Thanks for any help. Brad

General Discussion / Camaro Nationals

« on: May 03, 2020, 10:09:49 PM »

I hope all know that the Camaro Nationals has been canceled for this year. Looking forward to 2021 and seeing all our Camaro friends again. We had planned on using more of the buildings this year - for an extended special display and for more vendors. Let us know what we can do to make the show better for everyone. Hard to beat a large indoor air conditioned facility that the Nationals has in Frederick, MD

I think only the block would be replaced. Not the heads, intake, carb, etc.  So you would need to find the right dated components. 3910 carbs are hard to find too

« on: January 17, 2020, 03:14:31 PM »

At least one change that I am aware of. Beginning on late built 1968 cars and continuing into the 1969 model year, there was a small hole located by the hood hinges on each side.

The way the convertible top color is under-lined makes one think that maybe the color was special ordered as not recommended for the body color. Otherwise why highlight that part.

I'll be wearing my Legends shirt or a 69 Pace Car sweat shirt. Hope to see old friends and meet new folks. Everyone have a safe trip.

Don't mean to hijack topic but what about the rear end U Bolt nuts ? The ones on the U bolts that mount the springs & shackles to the rear axle. What finish on those ?

Saw this listed as an option on the Vintage Vehicle Services Report from 1969 Z28 listed on ebay. Was wondering if this might mean stripe delete ?

Here is the listing  https://www.ebay.com/itm/1969-Chevrolet-Camaro-Z-28/113909801341?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3D1b865e5f45844237954384459ab3c9c3%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D5%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D223673753931%26itm%3D113909801341%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2481888&_trksid=p2481888.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3Af715e07c-e549-11e9-9727-74dbd180a863%7Cparentrq%3A8dec6e1016d0a4b7fc68332dfff9a5f1%7Ciid%3A1

Decoding/Numbers / 69 L78 trim tag

« on: September 12, 2019, 05:50:25 PM »

Saw a 69 L78 Camaro locally at a classic car dealer that was hosting a cruise night.  Lots of things wrong in engine compartment, such as an aftermarket booster and master cyl and replacement water pump. Trim tag shows a 12 B date.  Any thoughts on the tag ? Dealer was asking $64,995 for the Camaro. Did have an SS hood instead of the ZL2 hoods people put on

General Discussion / Very Late Built Camaro & Interesting

« on: July 29, 2019, 01:03:01 AM »

Was at a small car show today where I met someone with a very late build Camaro. Build date was 10C of 1969. VIN was 124379N699714

Body number looked to be NOR141234. Camaro was a 40 40 Butternut Yellow  and  an X55 D80

Just curious - what is the latest Camaro in the database. I told the owner I would ask. Gave him my card with email. When I get his I will put him in touch with the group

thanks

Thanks for the photos. I used a couple of your Canadian Pace car photos from Mount Tremblant in my display book. My car and the one next to me were two Canadian Pace Cars. Both with the rare shoulder harnesses.

I've also used the bluing method. And being in the northeast followed by a light coating of matte clear. Not to hijack the thread but what are people seeing with the drag link paint dabs ? Wondering if they are different between manual and power steering. thanks
