I'm hoping I can still get them. A friend got some a year ago. Fingers crossed.
And it is so true (and a shame) that most states don't do them.
I did get some from Iowa and Nebraska years ago.....they were like $2.00 per name

Nice job! I looked at those and didn't really key in on the different names!
Looks like my guy - on the title had 20,283 miles - August 1989
Dick at 20,130 miles.... not dated
Franklin Canter at 17,546 miles.....not dated

That's cool - Did he own it long ago?
Apparently.......The seller has had it since 1989. I think Mike's father had it before '89 and was the one that sold it to him back in '89. I heard he contacted Mike to help him sell it. I have requested all the title copies from NC and will have the ownership trail shortly.

(Can you post a link of the SYC thread, by Mike?)

Here: http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/646672/all/1969-camaro-z-28-original-unre

Thanks again everyone. The pics weren't the greatest.....after I bought it I heard a few other "survivor" guys had interest in it but didn't go to look at it in time. I learned a long time ago to leap on the good stuff
I'll be sure to report on date codes etc on here as I go through it.
Should be at MCACN this year with it.

Thank you!  -  Other than the drilled holes to accommodate the rear spoiler.....the decklid still is original paint.
Yes - A shame it was added.....but it is what it is - there is no truly perfect survivor....they all have some issue....some more than others. I know I didn't look this good when I was 47 years old...  :^)

General Discussion / Re: Would you pay more for a rare color?

« on: January 21, 2016, 06:10:46 PM »

Hmmm, I thought long and hard on this question.  It is hard to answer.  In the end I  would say that for myself I would not pay any amount more for a rare color.  I used to own a 1967 RS that was Sierra Fawn, that based on the chart was the rarest color in 1967.  I bought this car from the original owner because it was a one owner car and all original with only 48,000 miles.  The color didn't come into play at all for me. 

For me.....I agree on survivors.....when you look at one - color is second place to condition/originality. No real answer on a non-survivor....everyone will say - hey, I don't mind (insert color here).....but when it comes to trying to sell it all you hear is.....well, you know....it's (insert color here).....not everyone likes that color etc. :^)

That one is a CV - I need a CZ......but thanks very much for the reply.
I have found a CZ for $750 which I'm mulling over. I need to put an aftermarket one on for now to get it running.

The small-block clutches were all the same dimensionally (mounting hub face to fan mounting surface), regardless of Eaton (coil thermo) or Schwitzer (flat plate thermo) manufacture; the big-block clutches were slightly shorter. Without the original drawings, I don't think anyone knows the internal calibration differences.

The fan clutch that was on my car when I purchased it was a newer aftermarket Eaton. It is scary close to the radiator. Does anyone know of a proper length replacement I can use for now. I am just putting the engine compartment back together and want to put something mechanically/dimensionally correct in there until I can find an original. Thanks

« on: July 27, 2015, 12:41:37 PM »

First - It would be interesting to see what is on the other wheels. This just could be a case of two different dated pieces getting welded together.... a current outer with an older center section that was maybe thrown back on a rack or bin. It could also be a mistake on the stamp.....but I think it is more a case of an older part getting welded to a newer one. 
Maybe the older one was on the floor holding a door open for months....

While we are in the vicinity of the brackets......how do I identify if the actual p/s pump is the correct one? I heard it is a unique pump. It does have the correct pulley.....beyond that....is there a way to tell on the housing? Thanks again.

Thanks guys. I did google up the part # after I posted and saw that ebay auction. Also an old NCRS post came up with those very dimensions. So - it is basically a thick washer.....I probably have a bunch......somewhere...

Hi All - Been straightening a few things out on my car and have a question on the p/s bracket hardware. On the attached UPC N40 A5 - It shows item 2 as part number 3754153 "SPL Washer". At first I thought this would be a split washer.....but looking at item 10 - part number 3792381 - it shows this as a "SPL Washer" as well - and we know that is a spacer. Does SPL mean special? Can anyone tell me what 3754153 is - and if it is a spacer - what thickness?

Thanks in advance!
