Fold Down Rear Seat

[Petes L48]

Is thefold down rear seat one of the rarer options for the 69? A buddy has a 69 Z/28 RS hugger orange , White vinyl top deluxe white houndstooth interior ,fold down rear seat  ....

You can go to the CRG main page, click on the "Options" box in the grid, then find and download the RPO spreadsheet to see how many were sold in 69.  That document is good for a lot of other questions you may have in the future.  Make sure you read the notes also to fully understand the numbers.  From above, looks like the RPO code is A67.

The 68-69 seat appear to be the same except for the foam and cover is cut out to access the latch...are the latches same for all three years?? The carpet or top side looks the same size when folded down..... Now that we're talking rare seats wonder why the strato bench wasn't offered on conv as the fold down

I assume the folding rear seat divider channel was spot welded in place during the “body in white” structure body build, at the point in the process when the standard rear seat hooks and lower bolt attachment brackets were welded?

It definitely has a useful purpose in a parade.

Follow up question:  It appears the channel was painted interior body color based on what I have seen on pics of original cars.  Can anyone confirm this?  Thx, Dave

[Dave69x33]

Yes, based on my research and views of original survivor 1st Gens with folding rear seats, the channel was painted interior color. See pics below.

I need to give credit to the other folks, folks on CRG and on Camaros.net for these photos.
