Does anyone agree with my view over at TC?

[YenkoChevelle69]

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.

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.

In 1969 Daytona Yellow and Monaco Oragne were SS only colors for Chevelle.

As I stated before, show me written documentation NOT hearsay.

Definitely not hearsay. This is from Colvin's by the numbers book, which he lifted directly from Chevrolet sales literature. See footnote b at the bottom:

Sorry but I don't read that to mean that the SS Chevelle cars were the only ones with orange and yellow. I read that to mean in order to get orange and yellow on an SS the only way was by special order. That's the way I interpret that to mean.

Now if that had said SS package only I would believe it.

The same coded Orange and Yellow were available on any Camaro model. I find it hard to believe that it was available on the Chevelle SS model only and no other Chevelle model.

Interesting. Now all I have to do is find that blankity blank picture I have of an original orange non SS Chevelle. Only been 25-30 years since I took it. Argggg.

Mr70, thanks a bunch for posting those pictures! They make things a lot clearer.

[Rainer]

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?
