I've noticed huge view numbers - that's the AI bots scrounging for data.

Good to know. I'll raise the issue with the host.

Yup, just found it and enabled it. It's right above their salutation.

I think the two are unrelated. :)
It would not be stamped T if it failed the trim inspection.

Foreign Camaros / 1967 Camaros ordered by the Swiss plant
November 10, 2025, 01:46:10 PM
Thomas generously provided documentation on 65 1967 Camaros that were built in NOR and then shipped to Switzerland as SUP's. (The Swiss plant also assembled Camaros.) There were limited details on the cars, but here's what we can glean from the data.

Drivetrain - While most (53) were V8's, there were 12 L6 cars. Of the V8's, three were SS350 cars (2 manual, 1 auto) and five were LF7 (base 327) with four of the five getting an automatic transmission. No info on the other 45 V8 engines. All the L6's got a manual transmission except for one convertible. Whereas the V8's favored automatics over manuals by a 3:1 ratio.. I believe that autos were perceived as more of a luxury - most European cars were manuals then.

15 convertibles (including 2 L6 cars) and 50 coupes. There were 12 different colors ordered, but most (17) were white. The next most common colors were: 13 gold, 9 red, 6 turquoise, and 6 maroon. It is notable that they only ordered 1 butternut yellow, which was one of the top 2 colors in the US in 67.
They started ordering cars at the start of production and from September through November, there were 31 cars built. A bit of a pause in December, then 32 more cars were built from January to March. No cars were ordered after March for the 1967 model year, due to the logistics of getting the cars to the port, shipped, and through customs and then homologated. So far, all the known SUP's have had power windows, consoles, deluxe seatbelts, bumper guards, and style trim (and one rally sport). Most of the cars also have deluxe interiors, except for the eight L6 cars that were built later in the year - they all had standard interiors, presumably to keep the price down.

It was one of my requirements before I re-started the forum - the photo resizer had to work correct. Big shout out to Kathy, a volunteer at SMF (the forum software), for working with me to get it right!

With the options, it probably is one of the pace cars. No way to tell which one.
The VIN and body # are before the main NASCAR order. It's not part of the main order, which adds a bit of uncertainty.

I just reset the cookie that the browser uses to login. So you'll have to login again, hopefully that's the last time. Btw, it happened to me too and it also didn't show I was logged in.
We'll see....

Not sure what would cause that. The address for some files didn't have the https address. I fixed that and some other minor things. Let's see if it happens again...

Not sure why, but that folder wasn't there. Fixed.

Originality / Re: COPO 9511 Axle Ratios 4.56 and 4.88
November 04, 2025, 10:59:56 PM
There are no production records for COPO items, since they weren't included in the option totals. The COPO totals we do know came from personal records (9560), deduction (9561), or dealer info (Gibb Novas).

Welcome! No issues with those type of questions. ;)

Without a VIN, this block doesn't further the purpose of the Orphan section. Moved to the main forum.
And it's a restamped block.
