Originality / Re: Z/28 Front bumper guards.....

Last post by KevinW - October 09, 2026, 07:58:28 AM

Reading this post, caused me to chuckle a little. Thinking hypothetically about the original sale/salesperson asking the buyer if they wanted the bumper guards. Buyer said yes, little knowing the Z/28 came with the rear guards standard.  But the option when ordered came with both front and rear.  Basically original buyer bought only the fronts for the option price (for both).  Dealer/GM made a small amount of $$ there.

Restoration / Re: Location of door jam decal...

Last post by x66 714 - October 09, 2026, 06:51:58 AM

The tire pressure decal goes in different places depending on the date your car left the factory. The blue Federal decal was used after September 1st 1969. The "GM" goes nowhere on a 1969. The silver door in the picture was May 1969. The yellow door is August 1969. It was built 3 days too early to have the blue federal decal but if it had that decal, it would've been between those 2 ribs...Joe

Feb 19th, 1969 (9B19) Very desirable alternator as the 837 was used on all the solid lifter engines in '69.

Hey all, does anyone have any photos of what decals are supposed to go on the driver and passenger door jams for a 69 Camaro and the correct placement?

Tire Pressure decal?
Blue "GM" decal go on there?
Blue door jam vehicle ID?
Dealer Service door jam tag?

I got some pictures when I bought the car of several stamp photos that were taken throughout restoration, etc. I honestly am not sure what this is or what the stamp means.  Any ideas? Looks like there is a partial VIN in there, but I can't tell

Thanks boomer.  I will inspect the holes a little closer now that I have it off and see it they look drilled or punched or maybe mangled lol

Hi boomer632,

Yes, all the emblem pins are present.

169INDY - if that's an option and I can get my hand behind there to put the fender fasteners back on, I would rather do that then drill out the fender holes....
