Los Angeles 69 Camaro
 

Is it true that the LA built 69 Camaro's did have a build sheet? If so, was it on top the fuel tank or in the rear seat?
Thanks,

Re: Los Angeles 69 Camaro
 

My 69 LA Z did not have a build sheet in either place. Build date was 12C.

Re: Los Angeles 69 Camaro
 

Many LA built cars have their buildsheet on top of the gas tank.

Hey Motown get any emails or PMs lately? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: Los Angeles 69 Camaro
 

My broadcast sheet was on top of the tank.

Darren,
Not ignoring you, just doing preliminary research on the car prior to a decision to sell or keep. Low mileage CA car been in storage 10 years. Rust Free. You asked first, so if sold you have first shot. Thanks guys for the build sheet info.

Pull the back seat and look at the rear seat cross brace. Probably an x-code there in grease pencil.

Re: Los Angeles 69 Camaro
 

My friends was found tucked up under the dash on the pass side.

I have a 10C LOS and there was nothing.I've heard they've been found in the headliner,but mines virgin and staying that way.

Re: Los Angeles 69 Camaro
 

I found mine on top of the gas tank, drivers side front corner. Drop the tank a little and take a flashlight and see if you see it. I have never heard of a buildsheet for a Van Nuys 69 Camaro found anywhere but there.

My 67 rs-ss convert had two build sheets it was a 41 opt car wish I had never sold it. Kim https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

Re: Los Angeles 69 Camaro
 

I had a '69 L78 SS Camaro convertible built at the Van Nuys plant, the build sheet was on the gas tank, it is called a Chassis Broadcast Copy, there is also a Body Broadcast Copy sheet as well in 1969, however I have never seen one on a Van Nuys plant built Camaro.

Re: Los Angeles 69 Camaro
 

More research. Car has single 3/8 fuel line, has brake junction block attached to frame under driver door. Has plate bolted to the frame over rear wheel on drivers side. The original owners manual is stamped Dana Chevrolet. Has SS emblem on grille but not rear panel. No engine size designation on front fenders. Can not be a COPO as the car has factory air unless added later which seems unlikely. Does have original cowl hood with all mechanics in hood still functional including insulation pad. That does not fit with an SS but could have been added later even though it is a GM hood. Power disc brakes. All rosewood trim interior including steering wheel which looks like walnut instead of rosewood.. No console gauges but has tach and center fuel gauge. Has extra heavy duty rear leaf springs with strange mushroom top looking original rear shocks. Has curved neck 4 core harrison radiator. Many COPO details except not possible with air. Possibly 396/350? Todays project will be pulling back seat looking for chaulk X code and/or build sheet, removing alternator to decipher numbers and codes stamped on current small block which does not appear original as it looks cobbled. Droping fuel tank looking for build sheet. I will also get some pics to post. Anything else I should look for in particular or take pics of that may help here?

Cowl hood was optional on SS equipped cars.

Personally, I'd like to see that Dana stamp on the owners manual.

Re: Los Angeles 69 Camaro
 

Joe,
If you think posting a photo of a stamp from a dealer who probebly sold thousands of Chevys in the late sixties will help with info on this car I have no problem with that.....maybe then you could provide some useful intellegent knowledeable input as to understanding the car instead of useless skeptisism and sarcasam? If you would like I can run downtown and take some pics of owners manuals with Berger stamps on them, I am sure they are just as rare and unusual.

Re: Los Angeles 69 Camaro
 

Sure, I'd like to see some pics of those too. Show me scepticism or sarcasm in my post... I collect memorabilia as you know, and would like to see what a Dana stamp looks like... excuse me for asking. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...thumbsdown.gif

Re: Los Angeles 69 Camaro
 

Sorry Joe, I would have guessed that you had a bunch of Dana stuff. No offense intended, just a bit edgy lately with B-52's flying overhead on a daily basis. If you would like I can copy the back page of the manual and send it too you.

Re: Los Angeles 69 Camaro
 

A curved neck radiator would be used on a BB Camaro w/AC.

Re: Los Angeles 69 Camaro
 

Dont think it is a 396/350hp, to my knowledge they have return gas line also. One of my cars is a 69 396 / 350 hp, also with air, it has the curved neck radiator. I dont know if that was standard on only the BB, or if it also came on the SB's together with AC.

Re: Los Angeles 69 Camaro
 

Dual fuel lines on 325 and 350 horse 396s. L78 would be single.

Just post a pic of it right here. I'm guessing I'm not the only person who would like to see it.

Re: Los Angeles 69 Camaro
 

For what it's worth, the 2-3 Dana cars I've seen were hand written instead of stamped.

Re: Los Angeles 69 Camaro
 

Even more reason I'd like to see an original stamp. I have never seen one before... post some pics.

Re: Los Angeles 69 Camaro
 

Very interested in anything DANA as well:) what other papework is with the car anything.

Re: Los Angeles 69 Camaro
 

I didn't think that you could get a L78 with A/C or was that a first for 69?

Re: Los Angeles 69 Camaro
 

AC was not available for solid lifter Camaros in '69. SB Camaros with AC did not get a bent neck rad. The bent neck on BB Camaros was to give adequate clearance for the top rad hose from the AC compressor https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

Re: Los Angeles 69 Camaro
 

Here's a stamping of a P-Plate from a car sold near Dana.Nothing in the owners manual and the same with the other's that I have from S.California.I've owned a couple of Camaro's that were sold new from Dana and I don't recall anything stamped or written in the owners manual.Maybe it was something new for '69.I know it only took me a whole two minutes to grab the camera and post a picture.

That is what I thought. So either someone took the time to remove the dual fuel lines and install the single one OR someone put A/C in the car OR ???

Any luck in getting a scan of that Dana Chevrolet owners manual? You can e-mail it to me if you wish, my e mail address is [email protected].

What is the sound of moss growing?

Re: Los Angeles 69 Camaro
 

I think its more like a smell?

I knew it was something. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Motown,

Re: Los Angeles 69 Camaro
 

Joe,
Just waiting on dropping the tank so I can hopefully also send you a copy of the build sheet if LA cars prove true to the fact that there should be one on the tank. Anyone have any prior experience with a 69 Camaro tank/build sheet I would apprieciate any ideas on the best way to go about it. Are they glued on? If so, take a photo and leave it in place? Any neat tricks on removing one without causing damage? Also, found the car does have the second fuel line, it has been cut and crimped off along the subrame behind the engine. The AC box looks somewhat cobbled on the firewall, different bolts/nuts, lacking mounting seals etc, etc. AC dash pad was once dark green then dyed black many moons ago.
Thanks,

Re: Los Angeles 69 Camaro
 

325 or 350 HP 396. Still a cool car. How bout some pics of it?

Re: Los Angeles 69 Camaro
 

Darren,
I am going to try and make today (Sunday) photo day and grab pics of this car and the Chevelle I have posted in the For Sale section. I would much rather be at the beach taking pics of Bikini's with women attached to them, but Michigan right now would only have one advantage at the beach, no expense for ice in the beer coolers. Also makes more room in the coolers for beer, and less people on the beach trying to drink your beer............Heck, I almost got myself talked into it, I better quit thinking of all the reasons it would make sense.........

Re: Los Angeles 69 Camaro
 

While it would be a cool piece to find, I don't really care about the build sheet so much as seeing what the Dana stamp on the owners manual looks like... not to mention the fact you don't have to tear anything apart to get to that... please post a pic of it. Thanks

Re: Los Angeles 69 Camaro
 

Joe,
Will do, going to the garage where the car is this afternoon. I will get it posted Sunday evening or Email it depending on which the owner would prefer.
