Dont go by the tire pressure sticker. They have been reproducing those since at least 1981.

Brian,

Yes, the owner states it is a factory RS package as well as a few other things.

To give everyone an update, the current owner states he has owned the car since the late 1970's. He states that the car was completely stock and original with original paint when he bought it. He said that the tire size decal in the glove box is original as far as he knows and was there when he purchased the car. He said it is a SS/RS Butternut Yellow with Black Hat and Hockey stick Stripes and Black Houdstooth interior. 350/300HP w/A/C TH350 12bolt 3:55 posi. The original engine was removed and used in another car that has long since been sold. Car currently has NOM and has been changed to appear as a Z/28 R/S with correct emblems mostly in the correct locations and a cowl hood was installed and the SS hood is gone. He also did not like the Houndstooth interior and changed that too. Owner was 22 when he bought the car and did it the way he wanted at the time, not thinking, or caring that it would ever be anything other than is, a playtoy done the way he wanted it. I am still waiting to get more details and will update the thread when I have more. For now, it just appears to be a typical 1969 SS/RS Camaro that is far from what it once was.

Either way, I have yet to figure out the deal with the tire sticker and maybe never will. The owner seems like a real nice and honest guy and I have nowhere else to look unless anyone here can provide more insight.

Thank you all for your input! I greatly appreciate it! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Maybe someone swapped out the glovebox door from an early Z/28? Or more likely he bought a Z/28 tire pressure sticker for it at a swap meet and stuck it in the glovebox sometime during the process of turning it into a Z/28 clone. He may forget he did it, but that would be my guess, as it's not even the right style or location of the sticker for when the car was built. Did you check the door jamb for remnants of an F70-14 tire pressure sticker? No reason any small block SS with AC would have ever had 15" tires.

Was it still a rosewood glove box on the car. I thought they didnt start putting decals on the drivers door until middle of may same time they started putting the vin label on the door.

John,

The dash surrounding the glovebox as well as the glovebox door are woodgrain, appear to match and have been there at least since the current owner bought the car in the late 1970s. Nothing there appears to have been tampered with.

Gentlemen, how many A/C cars do you know of had 15 inch wheels? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif

Re: 1969 Camaro Please look and provide feedback!
 

That sticker was stuck there sometime after the car left the factory. That is a 1968 Camaro Z/28 sticker and there is no way that came on the car from the factory, IMO.

They have been repopping those for years. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif
