Yep,sure looks like you could do it. What's the build date on this car? Is it a before the end of Jan, or after? I'm wondering if it was something that got changed at mid year like a lot of things on novas.
Was there a difference in the window stickers at the mid year also? Mine is somewhat different than this one. I'll see if I can get it scanned, and sent to Bruce to post.

Ken, this car was built 3rd week of Dec/69...engine assembly 11/22/69....it has the mechanical thottle linkage. Most of the major components are dated close to the build...October and November bolt ons....i see something new every time I look under the hood. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

Thanks Bruce. Sorry Jed, it left my possession in early spring of 71 as a wadded up POS. Hitting bridges at high rates of speed will do that. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

Ken, judging by the VIN your car must be later than mine...your window sticker looks like the one for my gold July 70 car....also minor differences in destination charge and base price...major options sem to be the same...very cool the line for the M20...just shows you the 3spd was the base tranny.

I will go to my grave, forever regretting not buying the below car.
Notice Red Oxide Norwood underfloors.

The only Special Paint 70 Camaro window sticker I have seen.

Car has one detail that no one can explain......Z-21 style trim molding on hood and fenders on a NON Z-21 trim car.......

I didn't have it long enough to try that. Crashed it with 5k on the ticker. The other side of how life works is, had I not crashed it, I never would have owned my yellow deuce. I most likley would have sold it down the road, and life would have taken a different path. I'd have never came to this site, and you all would have never had the opportunity to meet me.

Re: Red Oxide Primer..
 
can someone please tell me what does having red oxide primer underneath mean. not trying to be a jerk, i just dont know what it signifies.

CamarosRus 01-10-2008 06:23 AM

Re: Red Oxide Primer..
 
Jeff, Some G.M. mfg plants such as Camaros at Norwood, Ohio starting in 1970 used Red Oxide primer that entire body was submerged in. Other plants used a shade of Black primer..

Maybe someone will post a complete list of cars, plant locations and primer colors.

Mr70 01-10-2008 07:14 AM

Re: Red Oxide Primer..
 
Arlington,Tx. & Van Nuys,Ca. also used Red Oxide on their GM A-Bodies too.It's just an interesting aspect of the assembly process to those that monitor this stuff Jeff.

YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY 01-10-2008 04:24 PM

Re: Red Oxide Primer..
 
Willow Run, MI apparently used it as an alternate on the Nova's bec/ the majority of Novas are black primer. It's just neat to see something different.

We rubbed on Benjamin's '69 Nova yesterday for a few hours, and started to scotch brite the firewall a little. It appears to have red oxide primer under there, quite surprised since the entire underside was black.

Is it possible that the same car could have two different primers used on it? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

BTW, didn't find any codes on the firewall - yet. Bummer, I was hoping something would jump right out, like 'L78' https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Now I guess I'll have to check my little '69. No traces in the trunk; I was there yesterday getting pix of the spatter paint for another member.

I have 2 Arlington Chevelle's both have the red oxide primer on floors.Both are 71's. Something interesting happens to primer as it age's on one of my cars the primer faded a little as you get out towards the rocker area. It turns a pinkish rose color. It must pick up some UV Rays somehow.
