Truly wild stuff Charlie,thanks for sharing... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.
 

Stefano, Charley and all, The fact that the mirror was missing when SOLD may be true........and evidently is part of THIS cars history.

I certainly hope that people dont take this one particular item and try to make some gospel from it......

Can anybody imagine buying a NEW car today, and driving it 1100 miles without a rear view mirror. WHY Norman would not have had this addressed is beyond all imagination.

At any rate its my opinion that EVERY 70+ Camaro left the assy line with its rear view mirror totally in place.

Somewhere between Norwood and Norman taking receipt of the car, the mirror and extension arm went AWOL........

Does someone have an explanation as to why the stripes on the deck lid don't go all the way to the window molding? I've seen many second gen Camaros and I own one myself, but I've never seen this before. Both the 1970 Camaro brochure, and the 1970 Camaro assembly manual show the deck lid strips going all the way up to the rear window molding. Charley, I am in no way putting your car down, I think your car was a great find and in the right hands, it's just that I've never seen this before and I'm curious as to the reason.

Charley
I'll bet the leather protection cap was used to cover over the NEG (Tach wire) terminal on the ignition coil.I've noticed a few there,& seen them more prevalent on Tach equipped cars,then ones w/o.

Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.
 

Randy, I have a lousy memory for these details........

but this stripe subject has been documented in detail at www.nastyz28.com It a difference between Norwood and L.A. built Camaros.

PLEASE try searching in the ORIGINAL forum and hopefully you will find.

Thanks,

Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.
 

There are many examples of Van Nuys cars where the stripes stop short of the back window. There MAY also be issues with different stripe spacing.

I have seen these in the spark plug holes. Would they have been in there or are the plugs installed when the engine is assembled? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.
 

I say start it, I think it would be a shame not to at least start up the old girl every now and then. Of course great care would need to be taken getting ready to fire again, but that goes without saying. It does seem this car couldn't be in better hands for the task!
