Hi guys my 1969 Camaro is a 05A (JL8) z/28  my blades are original I believe, and  they are peaked and say TRICO made in USA on both ends , car was never apart as far as I cloud tell when I started my restoration. I haven't been on here in a while as  family and health issues had me shelve the project. IAM  back on the job! I will be posting more often. John C.

Kurt my car is cortez silver/black strips x33

thx guys for the quick replies , my partial vin is 643xxx 05a my car is close to being done, this year for sure .! any 05a guys want to get in touch with me, email me at basscord40@verizon.net ill share any casting nos.  I can.  just a note when I contacted the second owner he was little apprehensive  on talking to me but when I told him I found his little metal hid a key box under the front fender with an original extra ignition    and trunk key he was convinced I was for real. I never said anything about 4 wheel disc brakes just asked him what he remembered about the car he said it was wicked fast and  then he said I had nothing but trouble with those damn 4 wheel disc brakes ! he is going  sign a notarized letter to verify that. hope to here from you 05a guys thanks john

Hi new to this forum Iam restoring what I believe to be an original 69 z/28 JL8 Camaro does anyone know if there is a list of the known  original JL8 cars?  when I got this car it had never been apart(pretty rusty) but it was all there with original (born with drive train ie engine trans and rear end . the car  had three owners before me the guy I bought it from had the car 28 years and never touched it just collected parts.  he gave me the guys name he bought it from when  I contacted him  he was surprised to here I had his z, he said he bought it from the original owner when it was a year and a half old (never got any paper work ) he drove it till it got pretty used up and then parked it till he sold it to the guy that I bought it from. he paid 1700.00 dollars for it. (wow). he gave me the original owners name but I have yet to find him. the car was built the first week of may 1969.  I  looked thru the orphan vins but nothing. just wondering if I should contact Wayne Quinn for some help .
