Re: 1971 Camaro SS 396, GM documented, 1 of 1533 m
Did anyone else notice the Oil Pressure Gauge in place of what I believe is supposed to be the clock?

[/ QUOTE ] Yes, I also added one to my 71 SS-396, but opted to install it under the dash instead of hacking up the guage cluster. I still find it absurd that Chevrolet never factory installed an Oil Pressure guage in any 2nd generation Camaro's.... Since I had a freshly rebuilt engine in my car, I felt it would be foolish not to be able to monitor the Oil Pressure.

[/ QUOTE ] I don't recall any issues with the trim tag, but it was quite a while ago when I looked at this car. I recall viewing the car when it was on Ebay a while ago, and seem to think that the rivets were OK. There was another red 71 SS-396 for sale a while ago that had several items that were not correct, and possibly it was that car. Greg
