69 RS front turnsignal lens trim
« on: March 08, 2023, 05:56:16 PM »
Did all the 69 RS camaros have the front turnsignal lens trim? i have an early 11d   LA  built car that doesnt have the trim. Its very original but someone could have replaced the lens. Thoughts ? thanks

Only early RS cars had the trim rings.  What the cut off was?  I do not know.

My LA built 10B RS Z/28 had the original Trim on it when I got it.

As of the 12-68 rev of the dealer order form, bright trim was no longer listed as part of Rally-Sport equipment.

Existing inventory was randomly consumed in production into early 1969. John Zs March-built Z/28 had the trimmed lenses.
Learning more and more about less and less...

I know little modifications were made to JohnZ's car with the emblems and all, I wonder if those were changed. March would by far be the latest I have seen. Most of the original December January cars I have seen don't seem to have them. But again they could have been swapped for some reason.

My 10B 68 RS/Z does not have them. I figured there were removed before I bought the car.
