Re: Does anyone agree with my view over at TC?
Rick, I too wonder now how this got started as I just read the post on TC and it looks like some of them have been deleted. I don't see any mention of the O & Y paint codes and I tend to agree with you as to why this guy got a little hot. There is something there that I am missing but if it is only about the trans then I don't see anything else wrong unless he does try to pass it off as original.
As for the paint codes, in the Chevelle line (others excluded) those colors were only available on the SS models in 69 without having to special order the paint color, that is why there are the other models of the Chevelles with those colors. (I have read you PM but I had already started this reply.) This is documented in all of the GM literature for the Chevelle that year. No conspiracy either, just don't need to give the counterfeiters any more information than they have, especially on a public forum  BTW, thanks for the info on the other car.............RatPack...........

Re: Does anyone agree with my view over at TC?
In his sig he talks about how he has a repop trim tag to match his car, then in one of his later posts he says his transmission that he just purchased is correct date coded and vin stamped.
He said he wants to car to be a "correct" LS6 (the car started life as a malibu) and so far he's stamped the trans, purchased a false trim tag.... Why wouldn't he do the rest.

Re: Does anyone agree with my view over at TC?
Thanks, mr70. Is that enough evidence for you, Rick H?
Are you going to offer up a picture you took as evidence to the contrary?

Re: Does anyone agree with my view over at TC?
Rick, find a picture of that trim tag, not the car as you are probably right about the color being orange. However, the trim tag is going to make this all come together for you.
BTW, YenkoChevelle69, what happened to your webpage? I went to look at it so I could see why everyone seemed to be a Nutcracker towards you (seasonal vocabulary  ) today and it wasn't there. Did you remove it?.............RatPack...............Mr70, thanks for posting those as I didn't want to have to dig mine out and take pictures..........  .............
