I flew out and looked at a January built Daytona Yellow 1970 LT1 vette which was sold new at Ferris Brothers.
Original paint and still had the original decal in the center of the tail lamp panel.

Very cool! That is indeed the car I had seen before. Fun to see that decal up close. I would love to learn the story of the original owner of mine but who knows if I will be able to track down the story. The restoring owner supposedly bought from the original owner in the 90s. Would be fun to know what happened to the original DZ and Muncie... maybe blown up drag racing somewhere in Illinois...

FWIW it is reflective material with over printed Black back ground - with the border and lettering knocked out.

Not too difficult to reproduce if one wanted to... attach it to a sheet magnet and then put it on your Camaro.

At least they didn't drill the tail panel...

Thank you for the details. I think I got pretty close, now gotta figure out where to print...

And agreed, never was crazy about sheet metal screws for dealer badges so good for them to run stickers, even if likely most all of them are long gone by now. All it took was one survivor and now the logo can live again!

In these crazy times, sometimes you just have to put down the wrench, stop tinkering, and drive the damned thing.

In this man’s humble opinion, hugger orange and chambered exhaust is as good as it gets...

I’ve been working on some little projects with the car, and just finished changing up the battery topper. I stripped the red R59 details and repainted them yellow to be the correct Y55, and I found an original Delco Eye to replace the fake one. Cut the sight plastic to be flush, repainted the top, and removed the threads so it could pop right in.

Seems like Delco Energizer was unpainted in ‘68 but I’ve seen the text both painted (in a photo from Hot Rod Mag) and unpainted. Decided to paint the letters as it looks pretty sharp.

One more engine bay detail improved

Default 67 battery caps

What color should the battery caps be on a 67 model ?

That's because Delco Batteries installed into vehicles when on the assembly line,Did not have the words DELCO ENERGIZER highlight painted,just their vent caps & eye were.
But Over the parts counter & in store sold Batteries did.

Nice work.
