General Discussion / 67 trim tag factory mistake?

« on: January 27, 2020, 03:02:53 PM »

What looks like a very original 67 tag has option for power top in group 2 instead of group 1? Is this a factory mistake?  I have  picture of tag...just can’t seem to post it...I can send picture to someone if they want to post it.

It’s hard for Magazines to make any money because everything is online...hardly anybody even gets the morning news paper anymore.

Thanks for posting picture....I also noticed that the 68 lens has a cone (funnel) that is not nearly as deep as the cone 67’s .

I just noticed that other 67 & 68 Camaro’s have a chrome ring around the plastic lens for the speedometer and fuel or tach gauges? Mine does not have this chrome ring on the Clear plastic lens....I do have the chrome ring around the housing itself but no evidence of it being on the clear lens covering gauges?  Has mine just worn off or was it a change.

Could it be that the trim tag was just removed from car then reattached....or is it a reproduction trim tag?

Nobody seemed to chime in on complete reproduction bezels for 67 & 68...I wonder how well they fit?
I am doing a very high level restoration.
Will I lose points for not being original if I us aftermarket or is it worst to have the chrome trim faded on my original?

 I am trying not to use anything aftermarket however. I want the dealer showroom new look on entire car.

My original plastic dash gauge bezel has the chrome trim rings ...the chrome is faded and worn however there are no cracks or scratches in bezel.
I have heard that the aftermarket chrome stick on pieces don’t work well....does anybody have experience with them or should I buy a new aftermarket complete bezel?
I can’t seem to find a good original one that is crack free.
