69 endura jack (rare to find unrestored?)
« on: September 21, 2009, 04:00:19 PM »
I was wondering if my endura jack helps a bit in vindicating my car was an original endura bumper car? Its all mint original and has a date 9E on the blue part and my car is a june build car (vin series 9N656).  I did not notice the jack until cleaning out the garage this weekend and then asked a seasoned 'camaro' friend how rare these jacks are and he said 'very' and he has not seen an original himself.  opinions welcome.  I do have the protecto plate for the car and pictures of when it was new up to the mid 70s, but wonder if the original unrestored date code correct jack helps.

thats what I am hoping. Out of all the endura bumper cars, most of those probably went in the scrap yard in the trunk of junked cars. I noticed on heartbeat city they don't even sell an endura jack under their rare-nos category, just regular jacks ($500 no less). From what I can gather if I had to find another 'blue' jack it would take a long time to find, especially a date code match. thanks. I do think it helps a lot.  I am going to treat it with more respect vs letting it sit in a pile in the corner of the garage. Need to figure out how to put it in the trunk I guess as a thought for safe keeping.

The jack itself is the same for all 69 Camaros and Novas. The endura adaptor is the unusual part.
Heartbeat used to have a few NOS or used ones for sale, til they started repo'ing them.

yep, should have said adapter, i was thinking one thing (adapter) but said another (jack).
feel like a fool now as I see the blue adapter pops right off the main part of the jack (surprized the heck out of me when it did), and the date code 9E I have is on the gray part of the jack.  There is a UN in larger font after 1969 stamp on the adpater, and all this is under the camaro stamp. VE3 is on the back of the adapter. I dont think any of this info on the adapter can be date coded to a particular car build date now. sorry for wasting peoples time.
