Thank you Dave. I wish he would have got back with me, but I went a different route after several phone calls and emails with no response. I guess he has plenty of business.

Dave69x33 I'm just curious if you have been able to make contact with Gardner exhaust? I have talked to Eric once via phone (month or two ago) and he was going to email me an estimated cost for an exhaust system on my car. Never heard back from him. I have called multi times and no answer. I emailed twice and no response.

My car is a VN 05A. My production date is 6/30 on my Chasse broadcast sheet. Serial #531046 Box 198 has a hole in the paper. My original window sticker has a Z28 cost of $522.40. Would be safe to say my car had resonators and chrome tips?

The gas tank and parts of the undercarriage (mainly floor pans and tunnel area) on my car has definitely been undercoated and it appears factory. Exhaust has been changed. VN 5A car.

Pulled my documentation out this week looking for a reason the inner door sticker had been removed on my driver's door. I have an original order form for a LH door panel, so it was replaced under warranty for some reason. Meanwhile I came across a receipt from the original dealership dated Nov 4, 1969, stating under seal the car for a cost of $11.00. I just recently had the under coating removed via dry ice blasting. It revealed the rear inner fenders was painted the body color (I assume this was later undercoated at the factory) and there is also body color over spray on the floor pans under the car. The tunnel area was painted black over a brown looking primer.  This explains why my car had so much undercoating.

My wife changed our internet service provider. For two weeks I thought I had gotten banned from the site. I couldn't get on with my cell phone or PC. Kept getting the 403 error message. Went to my brother in laws and got on his wifi and it worked through my phone. Came home switched back to our old internet and it works fine on both my PC and cell phone. My issue was with the forum part also.

45 69 on my VN 05A car.

My 05A VN car has GM 4872948. Not in your list but it's very similar to the 4721222 because its 5/16 thick.

Hans L did you check all three motor mount bolts on your car? My top two bolts are coming up, but the bottom bolt is going down on mine.

  My block didn't set very long. 05A car with a 0010 block with a D179 cast date and a 0421DZ stamp with a matching number 9D02 trans. with a 0422 BU rearend. 531046 serial number. I have the chassis broadcast sheet(good shape since the car was stored in 1984) from the gas tank with a production date of 06/30. My car was part of the VN strike. My car has been undercoated as I stated (including the gas tank) but I don't know when. Its more than just black paint. Even on the gas tank.

What would be a good date for a master cylinder and booster for my car? April? May? or June?

Fletcher Jones Chevrolet in Westminster, California on July 29th, 1969. Keep posting them pictures. Mine is headed to the paint shop in the coming months. Are the wiper arms painted black in the cowl area? Is there white over spray on the firewall?

[Odd to see stainless trim on the turn signal lens on a 5A build as they were discontinued during early production and not seen after January/early February 69 builds. The seat belts (5th week of 69) are also early dates for a May build.]

If I'm correct based off this link http://www.camaros.org/forum/index.php?topic=8327.0 my car was involved in the VN strike that started in April and ended mid June of 1969. If that link is correct and the plant was only reopened to clear the last 1200 Camaros, then my car would of have in that list. My guess is they used what they had to clear the line at that time which might be why my belts differ.

Thank you but this is not from Fletcher's Chevrolet in Encino.

Here is mine.

I just checked the driver seat belt and it is 13 F 69. The back seat is 12E 69. This car came with deluxe seat belt and front shoulder belts as an option. The shoulder belts are marked 43 C 68 both sides. 

Would that be the same person who stamped the engine?

Transmission stamp. If this picture post upside down I'm sorry.
