LM-1 original wheels

[KevinW]

I crunched the numbers with the options PDF too.  Taking the options that could be ordered (ZJ7, P01, PA2, N66, N96, N95), but not counting the P06 since they just added the trim ring to the poverty cap, I got 81,304 Camaros that received the Poverty cap (243085 -161781).

The regular P01 hubcap was the most popular option ordered at 106,386 (no wonder most old photos show them)
the "no wheel ordered" poverty cap 81,304
Rallys 48,735 (plus another 20,302 included for Z28s)
N96 mag 2866
N95 wire 2118
PA2 mag 1362
finally the N66 "SS" at 314

Ok, thanks for all the good number job done. Honnestly, I find my car has a better look with 15x7 Rally wheel, a more muscular look. But I also like to have the original look, especially for the show, so I'll go for the P01 wheel cover. The poverty caps are easy to find, but I don't like very much the look of coloured wheels....

I finally bought a set of FC coded wheels, and brand new P01 full size hubcap (NOS, brand new). Just the tires left to choose....

I'm having an interrogation now, about the type of wheels vs the other equipment chosen from the factory: mine has the front lip, rear spoiler and cowl induction hood: could it be equipped with Regular 14x6 wheels with such other "sport pack equipment" ? I means, every Camaro with P01 I see, do have the regular hood, and doesn't seems to have so many optional goodies....

Could NOT have 14x6 with ZL2 hood. Having said that, I own both sets of FC and XT (14x6-14x7 respectfully) and they appear, pretty much the same from the front seen side and most, 99.99%, would not notice, much less know, the difference, nor would they know that the hood (ZL2 aka  Cowl Induction to the uninformed) was not available with FC's. The only thing I see most people notice is that, "Hey, that car(mine) would be B****'n if it had that chrome shop vac hose over the radiator hose." Local car shows seem to crave trashy bling over correctness. So, don't sweat it (American for do not worry about minutia, although, I do seem to obsess myself,lol!

Ok, so this make me wonder if this ZL2 hood was there from the factory or added later, on my LM-1 engine pack ? If 14x6 could not be together with this hood, what would have been the correct wheel coding, taking in count that I don't have front disc brakes either ? I really taught that this could either be FC or XN, without any doubt !

Probably this ZL2 hood was added somewhere during the restoration process

Correct, the ZL2 option was not available with the LM1 engine.

Well guys, I'm now looking to sell my ZL2 hood, as my car could not have been equipped with it from the factory. So I'm looking for a very good conditions, flat standard Camaro 69 hood.

BTW, anyone know if the two black stripes that I have on mine, could been there from the factory, on an LM1 69 ? According to the POP and cowl tag decoding I believe that it's possible...

My understanding is that only Z28s had the dual accent stripes on hood/deck...

My understanding is that only Z28s had the dual accent stripes on hood/deck... 

And Z10s & Z11s.

But mine has the black vinyl roof, does the black stripes we're together, with this optional roof ?

[lemarin]

On the cowl tag, the color code is 76 B, 76=Daytona yellow which is correct, but the "B" is for the black vinyl roof, I suppose ? Not for the stripes ? Was there any way to find from the cowl tag or POP the stripe color, if any ?

Gary,
I had you covered with the link to the stripe info.

Yes you did...    I suppose what we all were trying to inform lemarin was..    LM1'S did not get any special performance stripes?
