Mark,
The blue one I remember in Daytona did not have a hood tach or emblems (at all) on the front fenders. I don't recall if there were emblem holes left behind.
I couldn't be more impressed with your car. You're a lucky guy.
The Phase III Camaro was my ultimate dream. When the famous "Wanted Poster" first came out in a magazine, I cut it out and hung it on the wall in my parents' garage. The very same one is still hanging on the cabinet door in my shop today. It's not in the same shape it used to be....................but neither am I.
Verne.
