----What a nice piece! This would be of no consequence to value whatsoever but would this car, optioned as it is have a trunk mat?.......Bill S

Wow, What a nice 68 Camaro SS. I like them original and would love to own that Camaro.

[Kurt S]

Nice car, but kinda missing some stripes. That says it's not all original paint.....

So, would it have a dashes on the TT even for a SS car?

[Astock]

Never mind, I just remembered a 68 375hp I found sitting since 1970 w/11k miles in Riverside that had dashes for strip delete, at least that's what I thought at the time. I think it was the same color as this one too.

A friend of mine had the exact same car 25 years ago. I wonder if its the same car. My friend passed away many years ago and I always wondered what happened to that car. Cool car.

P. Steering not called out on order form.

With a BBC on the front tires,p/s would be nice.

Sam...that document shown is not an &quot;order form&quot;...it is a &quot;car invoice&quot;. The car invoice was the dealers actual sales/accounting document for the transaction...it is not uncommon to have some options or details left off of these. The billing or title clerk would normally prepare this form along with DMV docs, finance contracts, warranties, etc. I would imagine one of the Camaro gurus could look it over and determine if the power steering is origianl to the car. Cool ride...there weren't a lot of L34 cars made.

Hmmm...
Kurt, for my own edification, why couldn't you order the car without stripes? You could order a 70 Chevelle without stripes?
IIRC, the 1968 Camaro on the cover of Alan Colvin's book, Chevrolet by the numbers was ordered without stripes as well.

Just wondering the basis for concluding that the 68 on e-bay is not all original paint because of the lack of stripes??

Thanks

All Camaro SS and Z28's had stripes. They were not optional but part of the package.
I don't know of any SS's that were special ordered without stripes.

[olredalert]

----Kurt,,,I know of more than one Z28 that was ordered without the stripes. I dont know what a dealer had to do, but I saw a new 69 Z in dusk blue without stripes being prepped for delivery at Porter Chevrolet in Newton Lower Falls, Mass. Fuzzy on the exact date (other than the 68/69 part), but the car has stuck with me all these years. It was memorable because it had endura bumper, black/white houndstooth, power windows, tilt. You get the picture. It was a very specificly ordered Z.....Bill S

to add to the lack of stripes, I remember my old boss orded new, 67-68 camaro RS/SS L78 4 spd convert with no stripes. Teal-blue color. This is when he was also a big shot at a GM division, so maybe he had some way to force the stripe delete (or make sure he could call someone at chevy to be sure). His wife did not want the stipes (it was her car). Camaro was eventually was stolen. I am sure he would have pictures of it still, if you wanted me to get copies.

[x77-69z28]

Absolutely. More pics!

The black '68 L89 Camaro SS that was an original owner car with paperwork in Calif. a few years ago was a stripe delete car.

This stripe delete 68 was at MCACN two years ago. Not sure about the trim tag, but Shauger may be able to shed some light on it. It was in the survivor program..BKH

Love that Ivy Gold deluxe gut!

[Charley Lillard]

That is Jason's 68 with a - - trim tag because of the stripe delete.

[Kurt S]

I knew when I tossed that out there I'd get responses.

It's interesting, I've seen lots of stripe delete Z's, but no SS's til now. Part of the issue I don't remember cars if I don't have some data on them...

Thanks guys.

kurt is correct. this british green car on ebay( not the picture bkh just posted) had an accident in 1971. front left fender, hood and various front end parts were replaced and repainted in 71
the owner liked the look of the front end after painting without the stripes and took off the rest of the stripes with a hairdryer
still a terrific car i would love to own, and i tried, just not all original metal and paint.
the trim tag shows ZZ not --

The 69 &quot;Million Dollar Camaro&quot; owned by coast 2 coast camaro is a stripe delete car as well and apparently an untouched survivor with ultra low mileage. From what they say, its the finest 69 Z survivor on planet earth!!
