Ignition Switch Marking

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

So far, it looks like the camaros and Novas stopped in '69 or early '70, the Chevelle body styles continued it into 70+.

My Dad's untouched, one owner '77 ElCamino has the red mark on the ignition switch...and there's nothing high performance about it.

I think alot more of these switches may have had the red and it simply wore out or chipped out much more early on than you might expect. Paint does not stick well to chrome, and that little sliver of red bakes in the sun on the steering column, one day it gets bumped with a finger and now your red hash mark is a tiny red flake on your floormat. Kinda like the chrome plating around horn buttons and radio knobs...it doesn't take much abuse or use for that stuff to be worn off completely. Just my opinion...

I agree more had them later on then we think,at least in the A-body line.
Those donor cars were a 1971 Pontiac SJ & Buick Skylark Custom 4 dr sedan.

I was selfishly concerned with the 3 weeks of Deuce production, and I've been studying my pics of the original low mile deuces. So far, it appears the Deuces should not have the little red mark on the switch.

Quick! Somebody analyze the paint to get the paint code and come up with a $99 dollar kit so that I can make mine look original!

I'm thinking Testors "Red" is an exact match !!!

Just an observation gentlemen. My 1970 Camaro does not have the red makring. My 1969 Z28 does have the marking. I think it unique to Hi-Po cars.

Then prove me wrong. Everyone that has posted thus far has a higher performance car then the Camaro. Just make an inference. Excuse me.
