What about the 69 COPO Camaro's? Anyone ever seen driveshaft markings on one?

Here is one from a 04C 69 COPO Camaro 4 speed I restored last year. I never did figure out if there were 2 or 3 colors here. Orange and Purple I can make out, I am not sure if there was another color in between. Check out the picture and see what you think.
Marks were 17" aft of the front joint.

JD,

Looks like there were four different production drive shafts available in 70. They are for the following applications:

1. Nova w/T.H. 400 <font color="red">(i.e. 350, 396 with T.H. 400) </font color>
2. Nova (exc. T.H. 400) <font color="red">(i.e. 250 &amp; 307 with manual trans; 250, 307, &amp; 350 with PG; 250, 307, &amp; 350 2/BC with T.H. 350) </font color>
3. Nova w/4-Spd. (350,396)
4. Nova 2-Dr. (T.H. 350) w/4BC (350)

1. ???
2. ??? I think this one is Orange - Red - Green
3. Yellow - Green - Yellow
4. ???

Can anyone fill in the others?

There is a cast part number on the shaft end near the transmission. It does not correlate with the parts book numbers. Let me know the part number If you find it.

Lastly has anyone used the Driveshaft Restoration Service by Quanta ? Elsewhere they mention part nunbers stenciled on driveshafts. Was that done on the Camaro and Nova? Thanks, Greg

Hi all. I am resurrecting this thread again. I have a 69 L78 4 speed (m21) nova (built Nov 68). Can anyone tell me what color my drive shaft stripes would have been? Thanks.

I have a 69 and would also be interested in stripes and C2C length of shaft?
thanks guys!

I am looking for photos, but can't seem to find them at the moment. I believe BB Benny's 69 Nova driveshaft had the correct stripes applied during the resto...perhaps he can post a photo, or it may be linked to his for sale ad.

Hi, I measured my drive shaft from center of front u-joint to center of rear u-joint. 52 1/2&quot;
