1968 D88 stripe ?

I wasn't making a general statement but an earlier post left me thinking.

I'm not ready to close the book on this one yet.... It's still not a option people are going out of their way to put on their 68's. There has to be a story or reason they were on the cars that have been seen. The first one I saw is going on 31 years ago....not many people knew what it was then. I still think it may have been part of the Custom Camaro sales, and died a quick death....very quick.

04A, but as Kurt stated, it has several (actually over 25) things wrong (NOT including the restamped engine) and no docs, so you can't take it as it sits.

Here's the short list (not including the restamp):

1.   69 bent headrests
2.   K30 Cruise control not available with M40
3.   Small block A/C box
4.   69 and later remote mirror (68’s have a adjusting ring at the attaching point and 69’s are one piece)
5.   Houndstooth not available on convertible
6.   Incorrect grill emblem (SS-396)
7.   Incorrect fender emblems ("Rally Sport" not used on SS models)
8.   D34 Vanity mirror not available (car has two!)
9.   D80 fillers not painted so Spoiler probably added
10.   Black tail panel paint incorrectly applied at trunk entrance
11.    “Camaro" trunk lid emblem missing
12.    69 and later alternator and A/C compressor setup
13.   69 and later water pump
14.   Drum Brake master cylinder (But could have been changed over the years)
15.    Missing Windshield Washer jar
16.    45F68 (November, 1968) seat belts are too late for the build date
17.    Missing tire pressure decal
18.    Fold Down trunk panel too high
19.    U25 wiring incorrect
20.    Missing U26 Underhood light (part of ZJ9 package)
21.    Goodyear N65 Space Saver?
22.    Incorrect space saver inflator?
23.    Spatter paint incorrectly applied and not on shakers
24.    Repop C80 Posi sticker
25.    Jack Sleeve not used in 68
26.    Incorrect mounting bracket for U79 Multiplex
27.   U17 gauges not available with U57 Stereo Tape system

My point was that the option was cancelled 2/28/68 (IIRC) so it would not have been possible to order that option after that date..

GM production records do not show any listing for D88 in 1968.
