Re: 69 Camaro find.
I think it was purchased in Iowa in 1987.

Re: 69 Camaro find.
There was a 69 BB car that left my part of Iowa in 1987 and went to Minnesota. Long shot, but could be. This particular car was painted black with candy apple Z stripes, flat hood, and some strange little shrapnel holes in the floor from where a high schooler caused an M21 to come apart at around 6 grand. Car was sent to MN strictly for 1/4 mile duty. Not original colors (obviously), but original unknown by me. Find any black paint anywhere on it?

Re: 69 Camaro find.
This car was purchased around 87 and it was a Maroon car with a white vinyl top (still that color). Thanks for the response though, what part of central Iowa are you from?

Re: 69 Camaro find.
Do you know any history on the car before it was in Iowa. Ed

Re: 69 Camaro find.
Ok - I did find out that it does have a small block heater core - I will get the remaining info as soon as I can. Looks like best case scenario that it may be a SS 350 or Z car?

Re: 69 Camaro find.
Ok - the car has one large fuel line, it is possible the 12 bolt is original to the car - I could not find the stamping but it it dated I 28 8, the car was built 4th week of october. The engine and tranny both look to have come out of a 71 Chevelle Ls-5, tranny is a 72CR and the block is a 289 casting CRW stamp. Car runs real good and is pretty nice. I put it on ebay for him - my user name is mbahnsen if anyone wants to see pics.
Thanks mike

Re: 69 Camaro find.
If original to the car, the one large fuel line could
indicate one of two things: A Z/28 or an L-6. The heater core configuration should rule out a big block for you, unless someone swapped it ( WHY ! ). The 12437NOR140505 trim tag could be either 6 or 8 cylinder so you need to look at the VIN on the dash. If it starts with a 12337, you're looking at another converted L-6 Camaro. If it starts with a 12437, this indicates an 8 cylinder so that should rule out the 6 banger. I believe L-6 cars got a 5/16 single fule line. Z's and L/78's got a 3/8 single fule line. L/48, L/35, and L/34 all got the double fuel line ( 3/8 feed, 1/4 return ). I really have no idea what the standard V-8 2bbl Camaros got in the way of fuel lines. Anybody know? Probably 3/8. The rear date appears to be good for a 10-D-68 build. The stamping should be on the front portion of the passenger side axle tube. I have heard that some Z/28's could have come with 5-leaf rear springs. But I'll have to leave that to others to debate. I'm not a Z/28 guy! Steve

Re: 69 Camaro find.
Early '69 327 2bbls and later 307 2bbls, also had a single 3/8" fuel line.

Re: 69 Camaro find.
Thought that might have been the case.
