I do not know, if I were to fake a COPO Camaro, I would do as the others look like.
There is another unrestored December Camaro that has the relay in the same place but from Norwood, not mine If I look at the AIM on ZL2 the dates starts in September and some revisions in October early November. The relay was moved 11-22-68 and 1-21-69 Not showed as this LOS Camaro It wouldnt be impossible for ZL2 to go into production in early December. Im not saying Im right, just some thoughts I have |

After 51 years, the earliest documented ZL2 builds remain the same-Dec 27 @ Van Nuys Dec 30 @ Norwood.
The letter to dealers notifying them of the option was dated November 25, 1968.

AIM dates are not relevant. Those dates are just paperwork dates and are not indicative of the plant.

The date 1-21-69 in AIM match my Cars 01B and 01C.
The hole for relay is not in the same place on the firewalls. Now you will say that anything could happen to 50 year old cars that anyone could drill a hole in the Firewall during those years. But there are Crayon Arrows that point to those holes so the Arrows must be made before the car got Painted |

I'm not sure I understand your point of view.
If your cars have build dates of 01B and 01C then it's absolutely possible they could have been originally equipped with ZL2. As William stated and is widely accepted, the first cars built with ZL2 at either plant is after Christmas of 68. Are you concerned your relay is maybe off a pinch from the accepted location? |

No, I read that Kurt Sonnen attached from CRG.
It says that the date in AIM does not match when revisions were made at the factory. |

Dave Beem's 01B Yenko (Bill Hunter's) has a hood dated 53.
Regarding his ZL2 Z28 built in LOS... I believe the TT shows 12C but am not sure what the hood date is dated. (If I am not mistaken it was generally recognized as the first DOCUMENTED cowl hood car built)

Just for more interesting data points, my 12D Norwood Z, all of it's sheetmetal dates are 51, yet it's about 400 serial numbers past the first known ZL2 Camaro built which is 569358, I believe the first ZL1 Camaro.
Wouldn't be a stretch to assume it's sheet metal dates would be close to mine, which could make the earliest ZL2 hood date at Norwood a 51. |
