Very nice car you have, lucky dog... Must have sold the white Z to get this one?? Garnet red is one of my favorite colors.

Yes sir I sold the white Z and a chevelle I had bought to buy the Red car.

Re: 69 RS/Z28 Garnet Red Survivor !
Is the trunk mat a factory installed item? BKH
|
Re: 69 RS/Z28 Garnet Red Survivor !
Truck mat appears to be original.

</div></div> Trunk mat came with deluxe interior package along with extra sound deadening. That mat as a lot of sheen to it, that most original do not. Mike on the underside is there a part # |
Re: 69 RS/Z28 Garnet Red Survivor !
I'd be very surprised if that trunk mat is the factory original one...
|
Re: 69 RS/Z28 Garnet Red Survivor !
Very nice! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
|
Re: 69 RS/Z28 Garnet Red Survivor !
Nice..And a Jim Reed car too.
|
Re: 69 RS/Z28 Garnet Red Survivor !
Thats is the reason I asked. I have never seen a mat in a standard interior car..BKH
|
Re: 69 RS/Z28 Garnet Red Survivor !
Looking good Mikey!
|
Re: 69 RS/Z28 Garnet Red Survivor !
I will Check the underside tonight. Is there a certain area to look?
|
Re: 69 RS/Z28 Garnet Red Survivor !
Thanks Dave!! Hope all is well in Maryland.
|
Re: 69 RS/Z28 Garnet Red Survivor !
When you look at the mat, there are also sound deading mats placed on the trunk floor, similar to the sound deading mats found on the floor pans under the carpets..BKH
|
Re: 69 RS/Z28 Garnet Red Survivor !
I do know the Sound deading is not present.
|
Re: 69 RS/Z28 Garnet Red Survivor !
Mike, unless the car came with deluxe interior the additional sound deadening shouldn't be there. I suspect a previous owner installed mat at some point.
|
Re: 69 RS/Z28 Garnet Red Survivor !
Ok Steve thanks. The mat just looks like it been there for a while.maybe pulled from another car at some point.Are there date codes on the mat?
|
Re: 69 RS/Z28 Garnet Red Survivor !
It's been my experience in the past that cars with trunk mats are very prone to rust. Moisture gets trapped under the mat and has no way to escape. If it were my car, the mat would be removed and stored. IMO...BKH

Re: 69 RS/Z28 Garnet Red Survivor !
Possibly the original spare.
|
Re: 69 RS/Z28 Garnet Red Survivor !
Notice that it had the finger style trim rings on it. Though it could have been repainted - I don't see silver on the backside.

If you look close at the photo you see some silver overspray onto the black near the oval holes. |
Re: 69 RS/Z28 Garnet Red Survivor !
Does it have the micro weight for the balancing?
|
Re: 69 RS/Z28 Garnet Red Survivor !
I was hoping my memory was better than it was.. I thought the HO car in this Jim Reed post card pic was Garnet with a black VT but I was wrong.. Still cool pic from Feb -March of 69. We are pretty confident that the LB Z in the background is a buddy of mine that still owns the car and triple black SS Chevelle is another friends car but its whereabouts is unknown.

Re: 69 RS/Z28 Garnet Red Survivor !
Re 'finger style trims': My 09C Z28 came with the 4 clip trims originally, but in the late 70's, after purchase of a new 1977 Monte Carlo, I 'swapped' the trims between the two cars (because the '69 trims had a few dents [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]... so my original wheels also have scratches from the finger style trims. Fortunately, before selling the MC, I swapped the trims back... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] with the great proliferation of Monte Carlos throughout the '70's, I suspect I was not the only Z28 owner who did that.
Does the 'possibly original' spare tire have a date code on it? re dates, doesn't that 12/17/68 YH wheel correspond to the *earliest* YH we have seen?? |
Re: 69 RS/Z28 Garnet Red Survivor !
Can someone decode the date?https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...017_215941.jpg
