Wasn't that one of the big parts stash purchases that Jim/HBC made 12-18 months ago?

Originality / Re: 4939899 fan clutch????
« on: September 07, 2016, 10:32:49 AM »
Do they have 'Delco Prod Div GMC' and 'Dayton Ohio USA' on the front? I'll have to check my AIM for the number you stated, but recall that was the smaller diameter clutch unit, with the short fins, used on non-solid lifter applications - possibly with A/C or HD cooling. The Julian date codes are consistent with mid and late 1969 production.

Originality / Re: Eaton Fan Clutch, but is it right?
« on: September 04, 2016, 01:56:37 AM »
Doubt the fan and the clutch came as an assembly because of the different manufacturers - in your case, Schwitzer for the fan (Hayes-Albion produced the unstamped version) and Eaton for the clutch. It would've been necessary to bolt the two together and then repackage the assembly in the parts supply chain somewhere.
Maybe both were repainted together by a PO.
You won't be able to see the clutch stamp once installed in any case.

I can't recall the source, and don't have access to my service manuals right now, but remember reading that there is a difference of about 1/2" in the hub-to-hub mounting faces between disc and drum brakes; could that be why there is (approx) 1/4" difference in rally wheel offset, to compensate and retain the same front track dimension regardless of brake type?

Usage of 'survivor' increased with the rise in popularity of so-called 'barn finds' (another over-used term) as opposed to full concours trailer queen restos. Take such a description with a pinch of salt until you can inspect it.
Not trying to stir the pot either, but on a similar subject, I am also very skeptical when owners describe their car as 'original, untouched, never apart'; how can they be certain, unless they bought it new and have total recall on everything done (including dealer servicing) in the intervening 45-50 years?

Thanks for explaining, the 01C threw me but I guess you interpreted likely build week from the hidden partial. Sorry can't offer any insight on the lack of firewall hole (or possible alternate location) for cowl hood, but car certainly has some interesting clues as to how it left the factory.....

1969 Camaro RS Z28. Very rare color combo of code 69 cortez silver with 718 red interior. Let me start off by saying this is one of the rustiest cars I've seen but it's a real RS Z. When seeing this car in person the question isn't whether it's a real RS Z, the question is how much will it cost to restore. I purchased it off eBay 2 years ago for 10k. Payed $1000 to ship and purchased a date coded 4 bolt main block for it. All I have with the car is the bare block, which is date coded but NOT a dz. Nothing else. No trans either. The original 12 bolt is still under the car
The story I heard was the original engine and Trans was pulled in the mid 70s, along with the flat hood and radiator, and then the car was left out to pasture so to speak. It was described to me to be much more solid than what it is. This car has rust in places I've not seen one rust before. Amazingly though, almost most all other items were left on the car. The original 12 bolt 3.73 rear is under it. Seats and console still in the car. Z28 only steering arm. Most, but not all RS stuff. Original disc brake setup. It appears to have one crappy re spray years ago of blue but it looks like they didn't even sand the original paint down because it coming thru all over the car including the original stripes.
I have a clear title and mileage shows only 51k. I am selling exempt due to the fact it is not complete or have an engine in it. It had a Florida 1975 plate on it which I'm guessing is the last time it was on the road. Car does roll and steer for shipping.
Plan on giving this car a complete and total restoration. You may be able to save a few items here and there but I'm selling it as EVERY SINGLE piece and panel needs replaced. I'm not trying to scare bidders away I just want to be more honest than the guy that sold it to me. If possible, the best thing to do is look at it in person. I hope that someone does build this car because it will be a beauty if taken back original.
