Old topic but what do you guys think about this? Reproduction or original?
At least the oil pressure gauge and maybe the temp gauge look different.

-Vellu,
 That may not be the frame from the late 60's time period, I belive it is later 70's. Still nice to have, no one will even know. I think the ones from that period did not have a phone number but a location, lust like the PDF ad above. It looks like the phone number is different from the Ad.

You're right, not from the 60's. On the back side is production year and even month.

Cormier Chevrolet license frame

As far as cowl tag verses NCRS build date date my cowl says 08E and the letter says 8-28-1969 which I think is Thursday of the E week.

My cowl says 08C and NCRS letter says 8/20/1969 (Wednesday)

Vellu,
Yes , the same place. It became Winn just a few years ago, I have purchased a few cars from Cormier.
Cormier was just over the channel from Lions drag strip, and also sponsered race cars. The Green Hawaiian Dana 427 car was purchased from that dealership  before being sent to Dana for the conversion. ( BTW The Dana dealership was just a few miles up the long Beach freeway from Lion's drag strip)

Thanks!

I contacted yesterday via Facebook to the dealer and here is the answer:

                  Hello Veli, Let me check with the records department.  Your restoration projects looks very cool.  I will be in touch next week.  Thanks

So, let's see if they have any information left from that period. Since I live in Finland (Europe) data collection is a bit tricky ..

I have seen these on ebay a few times:

Thanks, I saw those, but I bought this which was cheaper

Got mine today:

Production date 8/20/1969

Dealer code 127 in zone 20

Cormier Chevrolet Co
Long Beach, CA

Possibly this? http://www.winchevrolet.com/Win-History

I have order no. 511

The car is now in Finland (Europe). I know the history in Finland and I am the third owner here. I also know one owner in the U.S. California (date issued 04/26/84).
When I have more information of my "world tour" car, it can be a fun to show it in Google Maps  

I buy parts from Rick's Camaros (http://www.rickscamaros.com/). It's not the cheapest one, but good web shop, deliveries are fast and very seldom backorders. Some of the used parts I buy from eBay.
I can combine/ consolidate parts transport to Finland by using this service: http://www.shipito.com/ ..and I can really recommend it.

I may be wrong, but they seem somehow different coating than the other parts of the body.

I opened back of the rocker and blew out the dirt. Tubes are galvanized and there was actually no rust at all. I wouldn't spray any rust inhibitor, where dirt may stick to.

I have D & R Chambered Exhaust Part Number: Z00003 and Chambered Exhaust Hanger Kit 67-69 w/ Clamps  Part Number: Z00001-KIT installed.
Let me know if you want some pictures or other information. I bought them three years ago and I remember that the bolts were included, but I may remember wrong..
