Default Re: identifying a 68 l78 camaro?

On the RPO list, I think P28 requiring Z28 was a guess due to lack of knowledge of the option and the fact that Z's were the only cars to get 15" wheels. I removed it from my version - need to generate a new PDF for the site version.

I'd be talking with the original owner - original pics would be go a long way. Any other documentation with the car - like a warranty booklet?

I'd guess Norwood would use DF rallys - the only 15" wheel in the plant. What's the date on the DF?

I noticed the option the other day and wondered why they generated it and why no production totals. Shazam, it appears a week later!
Wonder how the dealer found the RPO - maybe a zone letter? Any one have 68 RPO literature (sales albums, etc) where it could appear? The 4/22/68 price schedule doesn't list it.

so looks like this may be a pretty rare car? The wheel... by the valve stem is "DF" nothing else, inside where the cap would go on, next to where the lug nut would seat, one hump it says " k 1 8 and nothing else. on another hump inside where the cap would go is "gm b" ** after doing some research..this may be a 67 z28 wheel. Large "DF" and cant find a date to save my life

This would be a neat discovery. Very much like the 15" wheel option on '67 Mustangs. A few hundred were ordered with the "Sports Suspension" and basically you got the Shelby suspension and 15x6 steel wheels, and Thunderbird full wheelcovers. Or a precursor to the next year's Yenko 9737 package with the Z/28 rims and tires.

I just saw a set of "big letter" DF's, and they only had DF by the valve stem, and the date (Dec '67) was stamped inside the hoops (the area hidden by the tire). You may have to dismount the tire to see the date if yours are similar.
