I didn't think that fathom green and other dark colored SS 396 cars got black paint on the tail panel....isn't the vin too late for the short rear spoiler,124379N567844 would make it a Jan '69 car...the hood hinges/springs appear too glossy or wrong color to me....just observations

[bkhpah]

A few things that I see that would not appear correct.
The washer bottle is in the wrong location, trim tag is bare, carb return spring in the wrong location, hood hinges and springs painted black, bypass hose clamps are wrong type, chrome radiator brace bars, generic battery, incorrect exhaust tips, the rear spoiler looks added to me, trunk mat does not belong in standard interior car, spare tire hold down looks wrong, bumper jack is in wrong location, black rear panel has been added. All easy fixes. The car looks nice to me though...BKH

> black rear panel has been added.

?? Fathom green BB's got the black tailpanel. Only SS396 cars that didn't were pacers and black cars.

[JoeC]

kurt, is this true also for 67 SS 396 deepwater blue? I have heard both ways - black panel and no black panel on dark colors.

[Rat_Pack]

Joe, yes, the same holds true on the Deepwater Blue cars in 67. If it was a big block it had the black tailpanel treatment, except pace cars (excluding Canadian pacers) .................RatPack.......................

Can those exhaust pipes originally have stuck out the rear that far?
Doesn't seem correct to me.

The original paint fathom green X66 Yenko Camaro I have seen has a body color rear panel, not black...BKH

[Steve Shauger]

I have seen a x22, burnished brown with a blacked out tail panel and rockers. Also an original paint car.
