Hello

I’m a new member. I have a car to add to the database.
I own a 1968 Camaro vin 124378L347176
LeMans Blue
I believe it was an original SS model. The original dealership that sold the car was Grant Bishop in Los Gatos, California.

I really enjoy researching and learning from CRG.

Thanks, Clayton

This site is amazing. My 69 Z28 was purchased new from Grant Bishop Chevrolet, and still has the original dealer frame on it and original plates. I’ve never seen or heard of another car from that dealership. Mine is an 09C and was sold on 12/15/1969 by Grant Bishop.

First off apologies for being new to site and my ability to learn how to post.  I am trying to find out if either of these cars are listed in the registry.  I own one of them now, and looking at the other as a possible purchase.
124378N481899....the 8s are flat on top....68 model
124379N548911....69 model
Any help would be appreciated!

You posted on someone else’s thread, but the 69 shows up here:

Thank you William. Being the gatekeeper is a thankless job. But thank you!

Don’t want info out there to help the fake car builders. Who can I send pics to for info/confirmation of a difference I’ve seen on very late Norwood cars?

David K that is a nice print. Did you scan an original? Or how did you arrive at that shape? Looks like a fairly simply stamping originally.

Rustynut is your car a convertible? Your profile says an SS 350 but makes no mention of a convertible. Unless the retainer you seek is not for your car? Just curious. Anyhow the “manual” is the AIM ( Assembly Instruction Manual) that Kurt S has made available to all.

If you look at the standard (blackwall) tire & jack sheet (UPC 10, sheet A2), the coupe used #3949506 sticker, and the convertible used #3949513, and the spare wheel was installed with the outer face DOWN, and the jack base was installed with the top side DOWN. This sheet is for the standard equipment condition, which was blackwall tires.

If you look at the PW7/PW8 whitewall/redline/RWL tire & jack sheet (RPO PW7/PW8, sheet A1), the "model" block states "12300-467", which specifies the convertible body style, and that's what's shown in the illustration, using sticker #3949515. The illustration shows the spare wheel installed with the outer face (and the whitewall or redline or raised white letters) UP, using the added retainer #3929976, and the jack base was installed with the top side UP.

For the "SS", look at RPO L-48, non-illustrated parts list (sheet A2); under UPC 10, it says the spare wheel assembles the same as RPO L-35. If you go to RPO L-35, non-illustrated parts list (sheet A3), under UPC 10, it says the spare wheel assembles the same as RPO PW7, which specifies sticker #3949515.

Looks like that 3929976 retainer was only used if the car was delivered with red or whitewalls, or raised white letters (and possibly a convertible?).
Guessing that’s a tough find.

I remember that 3929976 retainer being called out for convertibles only? The jack stores differently on a coupe, (left to right vs front to rear) and they use the base of the jack upside down to retain the spare.

A lifelong Chevy Parts guy, now retired and good friend just gave me this. An original GM Parts and Accessory parts list. Covers from 1960 to 1969 Corvair Chevelle Chevy II and of course Camaro. It has pictures of all the optional wheels and wheel covers and all the possible spring rates and every part and accessory you can imagine. Really neat. Have any of you seen one of these before? Printed on light green pages and it’s 500 ish pages.

And, of course, my picture file is too large.
