Rare '69 SS ?
« on: January 01, 2016, 08:41:31 PM »
im new here so not sure how all this works. I have what i believe is a somewhat rare 69 ss. i have read on this site that a power window with verification on the trim tag is somewhat rare. i need to take pic of the trim tag & show it on here.

Is the block the correct one for your car? Does the partial VIN match your VIN?

Post a pic of that too if you can.

Also I may split this out into a separate thread.

smitty. There are more camaro scammers than enthusiasts these days. If you are having trouble posting pictures, resize them on a resizing web site to make them smaller so they will post. I had help getting that figured out. After you post pics I'm sure you'll get plenty of help.

Did you ask a question that you needed an answer to??   if so, I missed it.    We also need more information in order to provide an accurate *response*...  You apparently have a '69 you think might be rare due to PW??  and you have a big block engine.    What do you need to know?  Have you accessed and read thru relevant sections of the CRG data base?

Go here...  http://camaros.org/       read a bit... then come back and provide additional information (photos?) of your car and pose your concerns and/or questions, and I dare say you will get the help you want.

Let's not throw people under the bus so fast. :)

If you have specific questions on the tag - post a photo.

Chevrolet made two different 512 blocks. A small block and a big block. Which one do you have?

The SBC block with casting number ending in "512" was mainly used for service engines (think CE) but has been seen in some limited use in production vehicles.

So yes, which "512" block do you have?

I think those negative posts are completely off-base. Smitty made no foul, but several negative replies were made (which I will delete).
That will not happen here.
Please email me if this is not clear!

Just finished my "Humble Pie" and it was not good.

Sincere apologies to smitty, CRG community and site.
It is not my job to police who posts or what is posted. smitty's unconventional style of posts, IMO, & being a member as long as he has, I questioned his sincerity, and for that, I crossed a line for which I see that I was wrong and I am sorry.

I'm letting all the members and guests of this site know that I also crossed the line and I do apologize. Shouldn't be too quick to throw others under the bus. I've been exchanging email with smitty. He still can't get picture to post. He has sent pic of trim tag to me. I'm posting it for him.

Never seen a power window option code on a 69 tag or a D80A.  Doesn't look legit to me.

The power windows code isnt what makes me think it's a fake tag.  And when I say fake I mean reproduction.  But I'm no expert.

Hello Carl, (Smitty/smitty69)  welcome back again. 

Did you ever get your BB a/c part question/or questions you once referenced about in a previous thread ?  If not, ask away with a new thread.  You will get the right answers here.

http://www.camaros.org/forum/index.php?topic=11546.msg91721#msg91721

I presume this was/and is the same "very rare 69" trim tag we're talking about again.  Is this the one with PW's and a fold down rear seat ?  If so we'd like to know more.

So there Fisher Body tags with an "A" suffix. That's a new one on me. Has the meaning been determined?

See http://www.camaros.org/numbers.shtml#XnnCodes. Not common, but then neither is power windows. :)

Though it's not the best picture, I have to agree, it's not an original tag.
