Factory 4.10 gear for an SS 350? Kind of rare, no?


Looks like a very nice car.

Sorry to say but the Cowl tag is a reproduction:thumbsdown:

NCRS doc says production date was 2/28/69 and the rear is dated the day before at 2/27. I dont think its the original rear.

[Hotrodpaul]

I thought the 4.10 was only available behind solid lifter cars as a RPO. Special order possibly?

[Billohio]

I agree on the tag.

[ryanbowtie]

I agree on the tag.

I own the car and just seen the comments regarding the cowl tag. Boy, i never noticed the tag not to be original but my wife tells me all the time I can never see that the garbage is full. So, thank you for pointing out and I will dig into this. I will call Brian, the gent that had the car restored in the 1997-1999 range. I have his contact information, so let me try and make contact. I will post if I find out any additional information. As a long time member of this site I do not want to misrepresent the car.

My wife tells me that I couldn't find my own nose if it wasn't attached, so I know how you feel. Hope everything works out with your car. Very nice ride no matter what.

You could get an SS L-48 300HP/350cid. 1969 Camaro with a 4.10 from the factory,but it would've had to been ordered along with a HD 2.42:1 Low 3spd,or a 2.52:1 Low 4spd.
The Z/28,L-34 & L-78 equipped Camaros were the only other engines that were allowed a 4.10.

I addressed this on BAT already but did make contact with the gent that had the restoration done. The tag was removed during the restoration, damaged enough they decided to replace with reproduction tag and yes the old one was tossed. Thanks for pointing out so I could address this early on, lucky enough to make contact with the guy. The drivetrain is what was in the car prior to restoration, just restored. Thank you

Exactly what happened to my '69 Z when it was restored around 20 years ago. Oh to go back in time and save the damned tag! But just different practices in the hobby back then.

This is a great looking car - all the best to you with the auction :beers:

Wow! I like that car.

I already have one blue '69 F body convertible in a garage I bought from Roger. No room at the inn.

[ALLZS]

is that the correct air cleaner

[Jonesy]

is that the correct air cleaner

Theres a pic with an open element air cleaner which is incorrect and a pic with a closed single snorkel air cleaner in which the snorkel is on the dirvers side which is also incorrect.

The chrome lid looks right on the snorkel ac but the snorkel orientation is not correct.

Maybe this is a 68 air cleaner base??

[Billohio]

Top of the dash has been replaced so maybe that is why the tag came off. The vin has been off too.

The car comes with both air cleaners, the snorkel air cleaner is what they used for the restoration. You could be correct on the base being '68.

Bill, heck it may have been a Ford Pinto to start with. I explained what i know about the trim tag which was told to me by the gent that restored the car. Again, this is an outstanding Camaro convertible far above the majority i see out there.

Pretty good money for a small block SS convertible, but looks to be a very nice car. Congrats Ryan. Blue Camaros really seem to do well on BAT. :)
