Does anyone have a diagram of how to install the springs on the console ashtray lid or point me in right direction as to where to find it? (69). Thanks

I'm getting ready to paint the console in my 69. (Black). Can I get some recommendations as to the correct paint and what brand? I would really appreciate it. Thanks, Rick

I have a friend that's interested in this car on BAT. Does the stamping look good? I'm fair from an expert on this so I appreciate any input. Thanks.

I pulled the gas tank out of my car. It didn't have much gas in it but the gas that was in it was pretty old. What the best way to clean the tank out? I'd like to make sure that there's no crud build up on the bottom of the tank before I reinstall it. Thanks.

Is there any way to bench test a gas tank sending unit? Thanks

I'm seeing cars claiming to be double COPO's. 427 and special paint. Would that make a car with just a special paint trim tag a COPO?

Is this tag real, or did someone have it made up?

Was the tilt steering column in 69 a stand alone option or was it part of a group option?  Thanks

I'm redoing my RS headlight system in my car a use wondering what some of you would recommend for a kit to purchase. I'm sure I'm going need all the bushings, maybe some screws / bolts, hoses. Are there different kits Depending on what is needed? Also is there any type diagram of the system that list all the parts that's available? Thanks for any help you can provide.  Rick

Do the side lights (Front fender,rear quarters) flash with the turn signals?

I see a lot of people referring to the 69 Camaros using the "X Code" I.E. X11, X33, X77. I know that the X Codes didn't start showing up on the Norwood trim tags until the first or second week of Dec. 68. My question is would a car that was built before that or even the LA built cars that didn't have X Codes still be called ( Let say an LA built 69 Z/28 an X33) ?  Or does it have to have that code on the trim tag for that?

I guess when you can't make up your mind on which stripes you want on your car you put them all on.

Saw this for sale on Craig's list:

Up for sale a 1968 Camaro which is one of 1139 built in Antwerp, Belgium and brought back to the states in the 1970's by a serviceman station in Germany. Seldom seen or heard of (YES)
Rare ?? In my opinion yes, in the fact no one has put a cowl hood, SS or Z28 emblems on the car yet.

Maybe some of you guys here know of this car. Looks like a great car and was well done. My question is about the documentation. (Window Sticker, Chassis Broadcast Sheet and Body Broadcast Sheet). Is this documentation real? I've heard broadcast sheets were pretty rear in Norwood built cars.

Not sure if this has been put out there yet but go to this web site and download yourself a Camaro poster. You can't beat the price.

I came across this awhile back and posted it at the Yenko site. Thought you guys might like it. It's from a 94 Hemmings magazine.

Does anyone know how many special paint (--) Camaros there were in 69, And if so how many were stripe delete compared to non standard color (Paint).  Thanks

On one of the other Camaro sites a member made the statement that he would take a 69 Z/28 with Canadian documentation and without the original engine over a 69 Z/28 with the original engine and no documentation. I know that there's a lot of re-stamping going on in our hobby and you have to be very diligent when thinking of purchasing one of these cars but this comment just didn't make sense to me. If I was looking at a car to buy and I posted good readable pic's of the drive train stamping and the experts on this site gave me the thumbs up I wouldn't hesitate to buy it even if it didn't have any doc's. I know there are many of us that have these cars and know for a fact that they are original but lack documentation. But does it make that big of difference? I was just curios as to how the other members on here feel. 

All that work on a beautiful car and look where they put the fender emblems.  That's why we all need "The CRG". If there is any dought, Just ask.

I just read an article in a older magazine that talked about some of the last 69 Z/28's came with a 1112003 distributor. They showed a original Z/28 (one within 1000 cars of the end of production) and it had this distributor and the date code on it lined up with the cars build date. They also said they had never seen a 1111480 distributor with a date later than July 69. They also stated that all of the 1112003 distributors found are dated between July 69 and Dec. 69. Is there anything to this story or just a lot of bad information?

Hey Guys,

I'm sure someone is looking for this rare part. I was going to jump on it but the date code was wrong. It won't last long.

This is just sad. I hate to see it happen. If these people could only be more informed and do there home work.

Can anyone tell me by looking at this pic if this is an original Chrome Shifting Ball from a 69 Z28?  Thanks, Rick
