'69 Z, White on White, #s, POP

[enio45]

good eyes guys.....on the blue mylar sticker, agree it should not be there, but the good news it has the correct door structure - meaning no ribs on the door itself for the sticker placement . I do like the look - nice and clean

i recall 427king used to have a white z in his inventory.......

window sticker calls out chamber exhaust..?? also - would the rear spoiler be called out as well as an option for an 02D car?

My 3B Z28 has a V0306 engine, this car was built 2D.....Hmmm...

I tried to buy this car when on Craiglist 7months ago for 45K and posted on Camaros.net... The drivetrain is 1 week after build date and is correct.....

Norwood 02D body tags span 24 calendar days from approximately February 19th – March 14th. There was no 03A. VINs N6015xx-N6145xx were built during that period. NCRS on this car states a final assembly date of March 14th.

The car could have been built with chambered exhaust. Now has the interim system; should not have chromed tail pipes. Or a trunk mat.

Spoilers were included with Z/28 equipment as of mid-April. The repro window sticker lists the later Z/28 MSRP of $506.60; should be $473.95.

Appears to be missing the order number also. I'm oddly obsessed with those ....

My 3B has the March 14th assembly date as well. I know body and engine build dates are very close Feb-Mar time frame.

I'm betting the springs were never changed. After 51 years everything sags a little, especially when its been thrashed on, and rear jacked up back in the day. I just installed the Moog 6308 front springs on my orange Z and ride height is excellent. Lower than stock by an inch, but just what I wanted.

[enio45]

Steve, if the 6308 moog is slightly lower, what is the recommended one from moog for the original stock height? Any idea?

From a stance - originally built, is the front suppose to have a slight increase higher than the back? I know this is personal preference for what you like, but was just wondering for future reference.

Been studying those for decades. One can roughly determine when a dealer order was confirmed [not placed] based on the number but that's about it. This car was probably confirmed on or about Feb 20th; built 22 days later. There are too many variables-stock/sold order, dealer allocations, equipment availability, etc. to draw any conclusions.

In addition, by the end of July '69, Chevy had built 200,282 Camaros but issued over 277,000 confirmations. Dealers routinely ordered in excess of their allocations; far more cars than the plants could build. Considering all the data we have, there are 5 gaps of 2,000-3,000 body numbers. Appears that about 3,000 orders were cancelled in the June-July period.
