More than just the emblem...grill should be argent silver and the surround should be body color.....grill and surround must have been replaced at some point huh?? Cool find!!

I agree on both points

NICE car, it looks awesome as is ...

on to the pet peeves ...

WHY are SO many Camaros (especially 69's) out there with the emblems installed so far &quot;off&quot;???

That almost bugs me more than the people that put new grilles in them without painting body color around the perimeter ...

details, it is the details ... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

should the power steering cap be the metal 2 ear kind?
like the Chevelle.
and whats the part number on the p/s pulley?

PS caps were plastic as pictured in 1969 and the pulley is a 105DD.

NO,,,, AS DONNIE said it sould have a metal power steering cap and the gas line block looks brand new?????

Dave and Dan.....I would take that car down to the local spray car wash and gently hit the engine bay with some power water and take it home and Boeshield or WD-40 everything under the hood and then wipe it down or spray some on a rag and wipe all metal. Will look good and preserve some of what is left of the paint and toning.

I would agree with that, Donnie. My all-original 69 Chevelle has a plastic PS cap that I have absolutely no reason to believe has ever been changed, and yet I have had some self-professed 'experts' tell me that it is &quot;wrong&quot; for the car [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img]

I have inspected very early survivor 69 camaros from 9B of 68 and found them to have the black plastic type, and the cars have been from both LA and Nor. Does that represent every car or take into consideration vendor shortages and such no, but every original 69 camaro I have inspected has had the black plastic. Donnie what information do you have regarding the usage of the metal cap? BTW the metal cap part# is 846 and the plastic is 820.
