Restoration / Low Fuel Sender

« on: November 22, 2009, 08:04:31 PM »

My freind Fernando in Argentina is restoring his '69 back to stock. No small task since he can't legally import parts. He e-mailed me this photo of the low fuel unit , asking where to attach the yellow wire.
Anybody know ?
Thanks

Originality / ZL1 #26

« on: November 20, 2009, 08:45:38 PM »

Some friends of mine bought the #26 ZL1 continuation engine from GM and have a nice 1969 base car they are going to make a tribute of ZL1 car #26 out of. I would not call it a clone as they are going to keep the engine in the new trim. They would like to make the car as close to original as they can.
Here are a few things, being one of the 50 cars ordered by Gibb that I believe to be correct about ZL1 #26 –

Hugger Orange w/ black standard interior, no console.
M21 tranny
14” XT wheels w/ dog dish caps with F70 x 14 Raised White Letter tires.
(Would the Goodyear wide tread repo’s be correct ?)
No style trim, but chrome rocker trim.
120 mph speedo.
Chevy bowtie emblem front and back w/ only Camaro script on the front fenders.
J52 power front disc brakes.
Argent Silver grill w/ no chrome trim around the headlights.
No radio ordered.

Some things I’m not too sure about –
Would it be a heater delete car?
Would it have a clock?
What exhaust from the factory. Too late for chambered, correct?
Would the rocker panels be blacked out under the trim molding?
Would it be an X44 car?
How about floor mats, I don’t believe Gibb ordered them.
Any other details I am not thinking about?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Billy

Research Topics & Reports / Re: Gas tank date codes

« on: July 26, 2009, 07:39:36 PM »

Here is a shot of my code on my 1969 car. It is an 11D 1968 build.
The code is 14 69  , so that fits right in with the run week / model year coding

Here is a shot I got in Calisle at the Camaro Nationals a couple of weeks ago. I was putting my car back in the trailer Thurs. afternoon. They had all the 2010's for the ride and drive all lined up. I pulled in line with them and jumped out to get a shot. Security came whizzing up in a golf cart, but when they saw I just wanted a couple of shots they left me alone.

Decoding/Numbers / COPO at Mecum

« on: May 12, 2009, 05:03:56 PM »

Take a look at the window sticker on the Orange COPO for sale at Mecum. If you scroll down there is a picture of it.

http://www.mecum.com/pdf/brochures/3_Fearsome_First_Camaros.PDF

It lists the N66 "Sports wheels". Is this a real window sticker ? Would these be correct for a Jan. VIN ?
I know these wheels have been a subject of debate on 1969 Camaros. Would this be the first known documentation if the sticker is real ?
Interested in everybody's opionion.
Thanks

« on: January 18, 2009, 03:47:33 PM »

Mine is original on my 1969 SS. It has a Julian date code of 275-8 (Oct. 1st. 1968)
My car is a Norwood 11D build (4th week of Oct. 1968)
So mine is dated about 3 weeks before the car was built.

Ned,
That is cool when you can get some history on your car. We went to Pigeon Forge TN for the Grand Run this spring. My wife and I came back to our car after checking out the exhibits in the convention center. There was a guy checking out the car. Turns out he was the one who did the restoration in 2001, 5 years before I bought the car. He had alot of details about how original the car was.
Phillip, I checked the magazine and it lays it all out, thanks.
