Fair Market Value

[RS/SS396???]

Deep groove pulleys are on motor, I have the flapper valve and air cleaner in a box with lots of other NOS stuff. Like a new clock, deluxe rear bumper guards, 396 emblems and ss emblems too. All brand new in the original GM packages. All this stuff was included in boxes when I bought the car. I'm pretty sure that the guy before me was going to restore it until he passed away years ago.
I would like to thank all of you for your feedback and suggestions!
Anybody out there want to make me an offer?

If that is the original tach then the car is not a solid lifter car originally..  Get a pic of the fuel lines coming up the subframe to the fuel pump (if original), Pic of the speedo cable coming out of the firewall, exhaust mounting plate on the drivers side rear wheel well, and also get a pic of the wiring at the coil to please..


Honestly Im not seeing anything that couldnt have been swapped out to make it look like a big block car at this point.  Not saying its not but just saying at this point its too early to tell.

Pics.  Seems like this is one of the hardest things for people to figure out...  Maybe someone makes a sticky on how to reduce images or how to post them on a message forum..

Darrell, Kurt already did...  http://www.camaros.org/forum/index.php?topic=7809.0

runs normal temp, just that the shroud is split in half at bottom.
Why the heck are nova gauges in my car!
so did they stuff this radiator in car because
I'll get under it tonight and look for that BE code

Black faced Nova guages work the same, mount the same, look cool and usually cheaper than the brushed aluminum faced Camaro guages. I wouldn't say "stuff" the radiator in, because these are very hard to find at a reasonable price due to desirability and rarity. Great piece to have as a part of your good looking Camaro, which it is. What's the intake number ? Aftermarket or GM ? 
Now, if you have a BE coded rear under it, you're in business. Check the casting number on that block in the car, and the date code as well - keep us informed if you would. We like mysteries -

Man, I guess I just saved my car from either being painted H.O, or being used by test dummies...

Somebody said they were proposing using H.O. cars as donors for artificial reefs offshore ?



Before the hate mail erupts, realize that statement is an attempt at a jest -

Same here. Never ever want to do something to anger or hurt anyone.  If fact, it is this ribbing that shows how close some of us are, here, and it is hopefully taken in the right spirit, that is, in jest. I would like to think a few of us have a brotherly relation, much as a club member, and kind of like the camaraderie that comes  from our friendships.

3 row radiator UY,IO,OO, NO A/C

You certain about the originality of the radiator ? Codes are unusual: UY tag is either a COPO curved neck 4 core, or a 396 w/A/C 4 core. IO tank code is a 4 core BB curved neck (which would match the pics above), OO is BB manual trans. Look for the date codes on the radiator - if they are a close match, this could get better. My L78 is a three core manual, pretty sure it's an original to the car. Possible HD rad ordered for this one, but who knows ? Now, if it only had a BE coded rear end stuffed under it -

Performance axle ratio (3.73, 4.10) L78's began getting HD cooling (4 core curved neck) at some point in the model year thinking April. for sure by May they were-
If I am not mistaken someone did a report or write up here or maybe Yenko about the performance axle ratio and HD cooling... maybe an extra charge associated with the axle ratio? ?   

I know of 3 more May L78's 3.73 and 4.10 cars with their original curved neck radiators, only in the last 6 months have I verified the cars.

Drop the gas tank... see if the build sheet is there. use a paint brush or womans make up brush to whisk any loose dirt off and if brittle do not attempt to remove with out a plan if it is stained black from grease or undercoating it can be saved.

Oh you mid west guys ....
We all have our favorite years and colors now don't we......If it wasn't for the miscues of the 68, the 69 may not have turned out as nice as it did..

[bcmiller]

Is the M21 the original one for the car?

Yes, we need to know the axle assembly date and code stamp (on the front part of the passenger side axle tube) plus the casting date on the center section.

5k tach was generally not used with 69 big block cars.

For me it's not possible to give an accurate value until we figure out a few more things.

Mid west..??..  Im from the south & proud of it..   






Back to the pics.
