Kurt,

What is the model 37 in reference to?

I am not Kurt, but can answer.

37 - coupe
67 - convertible

It is from the VIN.

Thanks Byron! It's obvious I'm working with less gray matter every day!

That may have been a local modification made by a shop. Might have done both cars.

Please show the spring perch area with the spring in place if you have a photo.

I will make one , i change side by side , so the other is ''stock'' for the moment....

Hmm, I'm still a doubter that it was an original assembly line part. There are no parts in the part manuals and there were several different rear springs for the various applications. https://www.camaros.org/images/pages/chassis/springs_67.jpg
Adding an extra leaf would make the spring taller than the spring perch - that's not a minor change.

> i found the correct paint color on the small leaf
Correct based on what? What color?

A blu gray color.....

Honestly there isn't anything special about a VIN except to identify the car.

I agree. Maybe the first car will be held as something "special", but after that they are just another car.

Foreign Camaros / Re: 1969 Z/28 from France

This 69 Z/28 with the French General Motors tag on the firewall is legit.  I'm the owner.  It is a numbers matching car.  This sold in Kansas initially and then was exported to France.  Came Back to US in 2005.  The tail lights lenses and buckets were modified for France laws.  I kept these but restored car tail lights and wiring back to original.

where in kansas did it come from? its an interesting note perosnally...i could see it being from the manhattan or wichita area with the two major military installations near by

What do you consider as "fairly low"?

I have a fairly low number VIN 1969 coupe. Like we all have heard of the gold 67' being VIN #1....is anyone intrigued by "special vins"? How high do you go? car number 1-1000? number 1967 1968 or 1969? maybe car number 427 or car number 302? numerology has always sort of been a thing with these cars given the x-codes matching number etc..where do you draw the line? is there a unique collectiability/sentiment that this adds to the cars?
