Hey Guys check out this Build sheet real or fake

[Ls6 Ragtop]

Stefano,
I don't think the buildsheet was ever on fire. A lot of Arlington sheets look like this because of where they turn up. Most likely it's from a reaction between the buildsheet paper and the tar paper underlayment where a lot of this plant's buildsheets are found. They are usually between the floorboard and underlayment. I'd guess the floorboard where this sheet was most likely found was pretty surface rusty from the look of this sheet.

I've seen worse from Arlington. I pulled a sheet from the floor board and the tar barrier under the passenger foot area and it was pretty burnt. I believe the heat burns them. This sheet actually had the red oxide primer burnt right into it. The sheet in question looks real to me. Tried to post a picture but the file was too big

Here's another Arlington sheet for a Chevelle.

That Mustang emblem is on the trunk lid , are there more then one build sheets in Arlington cars?

Here's a build sheet I found under the carpet of a 1970 LA built Camaro. It was on the tranny tunnel and a seat belt had been bolted through it. Up close it looks almost burned around the hole. I believe the burn look was caused by the tar like sound proofing.

What's a "Camaro driveaway"?

[Rick H]

I wish I still had the car. It was as plain as they came.
As for the Camaro Driveaway. I am still researching it.

I think John Z was explaining that in another thread but I can't remember which site. I don't want to post the wrong information so I'll see if I can find it.

Found the thread on Nastyz28.com regarding the driveaway. This is quoted from Kurt S.

From JohnZ:
"Driveaways" were fairly common in those days - usually organized by the Zone Sales guys; groups of dealers (10, 20 or more) would order cars, and the Zone would make an event out of it, with the dealers picking up the cars all at once at the plant and driving them home. We had a "driveaway" row in the yard where the cars would be accumulated, and each car would get dealer-prepped and filled with gas before the event, which usually included a plant tour and sometimes a catered meal, tents, etc.
