Default Re: 1969 427 camaro copo?????

well i have a photo my dad took of me, it has an SS emblem on the front but i took off the ones on the fenders, but left the camaro emblem, i think the dealer put the SS emblems on it to sell it as a 396 car, i can validate the photo because my dad is an engineeer of 40 yrs, and he helped design the Dash 80 jet engine, among others things but i was wearing the shirt in the photo which advertised the dash 80 engine that he brought home for me, that along with the title proves ive had it that long, it was all white with a chrome bumper, i can find all the Z21 trim parts on the car, so it must have had the Z21 package, it also has a factory tach,center clock , and full console with the guages, only thing is i got 2 sets of guages with the car, silver ones and black ones, the silver ones all worked except for the amp guage, but the black ones all work, so i wonder if someone swapped them out, because they didnt work? or did it come with black face guages? i think if it didnt, it should have, because they match the dash guages and the silver ones dont??? im trying to restore the original console, i got some dye but it wasnt right at all, so i bought a junk console to experiement with, did you guys know you can glass bead a console down to the original white and it doesnt hurt it at all??? it works great! ! ! in the photo it has a black grill but this is right after i got it off the rollback and got it back home, it had a fender bender when i was a kid, so i replaced both front fenders and the grill, a black one was the only one available back then so i had to get it, i still have some bow tie emblems for it, they also came in the trunk??? this car has factory disc brakes also , it had a 427 on the lower fender skirts, and was written on the inner fender wels, but i painted over them when i coated the whole car with black rustoleum when i was a kid, im not sure about both of them, but i do have one original skirt with the writing on it, the car is blue inside, everything is blue dash, seats, console,carpet, package tray, i mean everything even the seat belts the belts are dated 42 A 69, which seems correct?? you know chevy dropped the ball on the seat belts guys, where do you put the one for the shoulder belt [the female] it just flops around, i have been doing extensive research and saw one car that had a clip in which it held the female shoulder belt?? im going to use a set of 67 console belt clips and screw them to the shifter tunnel right in front of the front seat, it looks sharp and holds the belts there, just make the hole a little bigger and they click right in. there is a photo on here of a white copo car, this is exactly what my car looked like except mine had a chrome bumper, my car also has the under hood light,trunk light and under dash lights, and also has a fiber optic wire for the ash tray? did you guys know there was a rectangle plug that went in under the cowl right above the windshield wiper motor? its still there on mine. i will try to answer any questions, mine is still standing un answered, why is the BE1030G2 with a "E" under the stamps, it is a F239 casting?
please let me know
thank you
