68 Z28 DropTOP

[GMH454]

Cross Ram, short stroke engine, low bottom end torque, plus a couple a hundred exra pounds,together with a large slice of body flex, may be rare but you have gotta ask "why " they ever bulit it.

What are the knobs on the console between the seats for?

[Z28DZ]

I believe those are controls for the multiplex stereo system.

You sure the knobs aren't for the oil slick and passenger ejection seat options?

[69rsss350]

I kinda thought those knobs had to do with the stereo, something from my past a long time ago. Just needed confirmation. Can anyone be more specific as to what each of the four knobs controlled? My curiousity is tweaked now.

Those knobs were for the multiplex option on a 68 Camaro with the D55 console. They controlled the fader, tone, volume, and balance of the radio and speakers. It is very rare to see one of these. This car was the first one I had seen with it in the console, have seen many non-console underdash units. At the time Milt Robson owned the car and the history & documentation is unreal. One neat thing is for anyone that has John Hoopers 67-68 Camaro Reference Book there is a GM photo of this car at the top of page 236. Most would not pick up on it, but the A-pillars are of a convertible....................

Rat Pack, I am confused. Why wouldn't the A pillars be of a convertible? Or, in other words, on this car, why would anything else be expected? I know there is just this one example but it is a convertible, a 68 convertible Z28. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/confused.gif[/img]
