William,

You are correct. My mistake. It is a 04C NOR built car. I should have double-checked before my last post. VIN stamping is 19N636334.

I have a 04D build 69 Pace Car. The engine pad only had the T0425HB stamp (L48 350 Auto).

I figured the engine VIN stamp was on the oil pad. While the engine was in the car, I tried to get a photo of the stamp on the oil pad but was pretty much impossible to get a clear photo.

Only when I pulled the engine for a rebuild was I able to confirm the VIN stamp on the oil pad. Here is a photo of that stamp on the rough surface of the oil pad.

Even then, it was not easy to see.

V/r,
Dan

Ahh ok. Makes sense to me now.

It was used in cars with a fold-down rear seat. My car doesn't have that.

Thanks again for the info and links.

Restoration / 69 Camaro Convertible Motor Cover

« on: July 16, 2022, 04:28:44 PM »

Hello,

Finished rebuilding my 69 Pace Car convertible top motor and cylinders. When I ordered the parts, a convertible motor cover was also available. There was nothing like this on the car when I removed the motor and cylinders. It is made of fiberboard and measures 13.5" wide and 10.5" tall. Picture of it is attached.

My research didn't find any pictures on how this is installed with the convertible top motor. Can anyone tell me how this is installed with the convertible top motor?

Thanks,
Tinkerman
