My 12B VN Z28 has the cap with the ears and I've owned it since 76. I always thought it was original.

Ill look at the 10E 69 and see which cap it has..  I know its the same as far back as '78..  Can also look at the 69 Z to see which cap it has.  Ill post pics in a few days..

My 09C (Sep '69) Z28 has a round gas cap... no ears...  was on the car in 1976 when I purchased the car...

Interesting to see what some will pay for things. I kept an eye on this one just to see how high it would reach (which turned out to be a lot more than I would have paid anyway).

Then again, all mine have ears. I can't recall seeing an original eared cap lately on eBay - repros for sure in some cases. I'll keep looking -

I watched the same auction. I wonder how many "watches" are just people like us being curious?

I saw this with ears, ended much more reasonably. I don't like how its plated, and the stampings are different than mine. It claims NOS as a G-46, but I don't see a box. I assumed it was a replacement cap, but who knows?

The seller here (john Meissenger?) .. always has lots of NOS/new automotive parts... apparently he scours the dealerships for this 'old shelf parts'... I've bought things from him in the past, although I can't recall specifically what.. (not for my Camaro but a corvette, or el camino..)..   $103 seems a lot for a gas cap, but it is exactly like the one on my '69...  I went down and took a couple photos after all this 'gas cap talk'.. :)

There may yet be an early/late correlation to this subject, although the current data group is still way too small to tell. 

I gathered the little bit of the data that was shared in this post and entered it into a spreadsheet then saved it as a jpg..  Some of the info is missing or I wasn't clear about it, and those items are highlighted in yellow.

If you throw out my car (10A '68), and if the 11C and 12B cars are from '68 (I wasn't sure), then maybe there is an early eared version versus a late round version.

More info would definitely be helpful.  It would be great if those who already posted could provide the missing pieces or identify any mistakes I made.

Hopefully my chart attachment experiment works... if not, perhaps someone could coach me on a good way to do it.  It's worth a try....

Both of mine are Norwoods. I have yet to brave the barn to see what the 12A '68 Norwood L78 has on it, but I will add as soon as I can get to it. 01C car is an X77, 03D is the Z11.

Spreadsheet looks good, probably better if you keep control of it. Remarking files gets a little haphazard around here in previous threads - can be disastrous !

Steve

OK , my 06A Z28 is Norwood. Round with paper gasket as previously posted.

Guy I work for has quite a collection of cars, I Looked at his 1969 09A L89 Camaro Norwood car, today and it is round, paper gasket, it looks refinished, cant say if it is original or not. He also has a 20 K survivor 02D 1970 Z28, Van Nuys car and it has round with paper gasket, cap is identical to 69, same lettering and logo. He also has a 70 Ram Air 4 TA , 18 K survivor it is the same, both caps have patina and look original IMO. I have pictures of ALL caps, but having touble posting them. I also have a NOS round eared cap like in the ebay auction.

Hope this helps.
