My car, as well, has (had) them (front guards). I look at a lot of 69's and check out what options they have. Like these front guards in topic, I am surprised how many cars appear to have rear defrost, when it was scarce, also, according to production figures. I wonder now how many cars had several dealer installed options that ,of course, are not recorded? That may explain why seemingly scarce options are more prolific than production figures indicate. This is not considering the recent increase in adding options to restos as more and more repro parts become available.

I've heard T/A is coming to COTA in Austin Tx this fall.....might google that too.

Good story and write up Fahad and welcome, amazing where the famous 69 camaro can show up I'd of never thought Saudi Arabia- wow! its also kind of amazing what the previous owner did to this car. keep us updated

Rear ones were mandatory on Z28's so theres probably another 20302 of them out there beyond what is reported under RPO V32.  I don't think the Front ones were part of any other option package, nor were they required when you ordered the rear ones.

My Z11 had both sets on it originally, but niether are required options on the Z10 or Z11's.

At one time I really believed in the supply and demand side of these specific Z28 parts and prices, but IMHO it's much more then that now. Is there a cut off point when the price is way out of line or does the price just keep going up? and WHO are the ones going to able to afford these parts? Definitely takes the fun out of it for me. I have a DZ block I want to sell outright or make an even trade for a numbers alternator but seem to fall short either way, but yet there are sellers on ebay asking some big money for these 2 specific parts but never sell them. So why are they holding onto these parts? IDK, just saying.

Are the front bumper guards one of those items that were actually quite rare on production Camaros in 69? It looks like only 12000 or so were sold in 69 as a separate option. Were they a subset of another option, like the rear ones would be a subset of F41? Seems like a lot of Camaros for sale have these. I was wondering if they are one of those items that weren't there originally, but are added later?

Back in the 2004 time frame, when I rebuilt the front suspension on my '69RS (base V8, Powerglide, 2.73 open 10 bolt), as I studied what came off the car, my conclusion was that along with RPO N40 (power steering) I also had RPO N44; i.e. special steering, quick ratio.  As I understand it, at least for 1969, the two distinguishing features to look for are the long (approx. 5.8" long) pitman arm and the "short" outer arms.  The short outer arms have p/n LH-3954875 RH-3954876 and these were the same part numbers on the outer arms on my car.

Lock to lock on the steering wheel is about 2.2 turns.
