This one is not too far away from me so I thought I would check it out. I am wondering what you guys think. Again, anything and everything that is not original or not correct for the car. But also this time tell me what is correct for the car. Thanks guys.

Love the frost green. Master cylinder, finish of the power booster wrong. Pictures to small to see other stuff but I'd love to drive it. Without trim tag, engine numbers, trans,rearend numbers its hard to pick apart, this is "Hawaiian Camaros" dept. Good looking RS-Z.

1 = Chevrolet
2 = Camaro
4 = 8-cylinder engine
37 = coupe body
9 = 1969 model year
N = Norwood, OH assembly plant
624113 = vehicle serial number sequence

Decode for body number: 291243

08E = Built the Fifth week of August.
69-12437 = Coupe.
NOR = Built in Norwood Ohio.
711 = Standard Black Bucket Seats.
59-59 = Car Color is Frost Green
X33 = Z28 with style trim
D80 = Spoiler equipment
-----------------
Aug build date but a Jan 30th DZ engine. To far out of the window for the car i would say.

<font color="red"> It is one of 5,060 1969 RS-Z28 built. It is matching numbers ie block, </font>

Wonder how they know its one of 5,060 RS-Z28 built since Chevy cant even tell you that and the matching numbers IE block I would think should read CE block

Kurt S might have more info on the car. Still all in all a nice looking car, dont see many Frost Green cars around.

Missing: AIR system, rear seat belts, power brake hose bracket.

Incorrect: aftermarket Hurst shifter, steering wheel (67-68), upper alternator bracket, power steering bracket &amp; exhaust manifolds, tailpipes, trim height.

Should not have rear antenna with spoiler, trunk mat with standard interior, 140 speedo, stripes extend too far into trunk opening &amp; down vent grille.

Trouble: they claim VIN is N624113. That is well prior to the "D80" inclusion on the body tag...an engine date of January 30 is way early for an 03E car. No one knows how many Z/28s were RS so forget their claim. And read their definition of "matching numbers."

I do like the color as it is unusual. Someone gets style points for not painting it black.

I stopped by the other day but they were closed.

I think Bill got most of it. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I think you could find better! Color is nice, but the rest...... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif Where are the back seat belts? Is any of the headlite washer system even hooked up?
