Photos from Rich.  My personal opinion is the stamp is legit.

I have a couple photos of early 12 bolts (69 - late 68 for 69MY) that were not gang stamped.  As Chick mentioned post a photo or you can email me and I can post it.

I’ve used Murphy’s oil soap which works and I had a restorer recently tell me he uses baby shampoo to rub on old tires and bag to soften and help restore on corvette restorations.


I did this with my gas tank filler tube hose and it was a noticeable difference on the areas that were not exposed to gas fumes.

Window sticker is a reproduction in my opinion.

Shouldn't be an opinion but fact that its a repo w/s.  Several errors.

True. But I am trying to be more “nice”.  Some days it’s a struggle.  😁


How's the saying go?  "Facts do not care about feelings."   ;D

It is just a couple hundred vins away and roughly 3,700 body numbers away from a sb pacer my father restored in the late '90's.  Both are 02D cars

Ever consider doing a preservation on the car?  Looks like it'd be an amazing candidate.

Have you considered vinyl decals for the stripes?  Would allow you to remove if you ever wanted to go back or if the next owner didn't want them.?.  Just a thought.

Hard to believe its been 17 years since my father passed and 4 years for my mother (on the 23rd). He was a true Camaro enthusiast and my mother loved him unconditionally.

First photo is I believe Tri-Cities (TN) Camaro Show


Second was '95 (maybe '96?) Camaro Nationals in Atlanta, GA, Pretty sure Rick George (Rick's Camaro) was the main sponsor but my memory is not the best.


Third is at the local Wilson Bank and Trust show in Oct. '95.

Got ole green out last sunday and putted around the neighborhood and put'er back under cover.  Pretty original but there are a few things I still need to do which include replacing the '80's repo valve covers with original correct ones (which I have) and also smog was removed and headers added.  I think this is the 3rd or 4th set and I have another set I will eventually attempt to install since I do not know the brand or application but they look like they might fit..  fingers crossed.  Also power steering & disc brake option was added by the original owner (my father).  Originally mandatory power drums.
