He told me that he traded it in when he moved out east. So, probably unknown if the car is still around. I provide a picture of it here, just in case someone can benefit. He also has all of the brochures that he picked up when buying the car.

Could have survived if the original spare was never used or out of the trunk. Markings like this survived on my original 74 Z.

Yes a marking could have survived.  A wax blob, probably not.

Are you saying you have a wax dot that survived?

Does the car still exist or do you have any more information?

Thanks for posting, Jeff.  The car has come a long way from when you first got it and has turned out great.  Glad you are enjoying it.

Drove my car to the coffee shop and a man approached me saying that he bought one new in 1969. This is a photo of the window sticker he showed to me.

Van Nuys started using the just-in-time (JIT) inventory system when producing the 3rd generation Camaro/Firebird.  Due to the initial high demand, the plant was producing vehicles on two nine hour shifts daily.  As part of the JIT system, critical item reports were produced each day and due to the additional computer programs, we only had a 1 1/2 hour window to complete all of our processing.  The actual production report was transmitted using a phone modem.  The first thing I would ask each morning was whether the production report was sent to Corporate as the executive committee reviewed GM daily vehicle production as part of their set agenda.

For the post to have value in the future, it's best to post the fb user's name so it is traceable if the car shows up some day....

Ill keep that in mind
