THE LAST??? 1967 Z-28

[William]

I have finally stopped laughing enough to respond to that 'picture'.

Look behind the Camaro - that's an A or B body. The photo was taken at the Van Nuys plant. The discussion concerns Norwood, where Camaros were built in VIN sequence.

Alright....so I am thoroughly confused again...ayayay

So...for the record..I will state what I now'think' is fact... heheh

- I have the only 67 Z-28 that any person has come forward with or that is publicly known that has an 07C cowl tag.

True or false??

-07C is after 07B as far as the GM dating sequence...

true or false??

-My cowl tag was made after any 07B cowl tag...

true or false?? (not sure on this one)

Thats about all I can state for sure at this point I believe..

So I have still a few questions...are you saying that the cowl tags got made..mine being made in the 07C week..but the cars did not even get started while the cowl tags were just all stored in a folder for a while??

and as far as the GM of Canada stuff...Was a Camaro built all in the same day...I realize that many were built each day, but were they started , painted, and completely built in one day??? I'd find that hard to believe..but I really don't know...so, what does the build date actually mean anyway??? Start date?? Finish date?? Ya know what I mean???

The latest pic sure seems to prove that the trim tag was on the car before it left the Fisher side?? But then again, it does not prove that the cars are in body sequence order on the line...soooo???

I think that it is apparent that for some reason one of the cars got held up...but, we will probably never know...and likely will probabaly never know which car was actually the first to be made or started...as the cars may not have been in body sequence order in fisher apparently?? and if so, they were not VIN'd in any type of body sequence order...so depending on where the glich was...would make the reason more clear...

So did I thoroughly confuse those that arent already?? I definitely confused myself some more..

Back to " the only publicly known and latest 'cowl tag' dated 67 Z....period...100%%%

thanks again for all the interest...ayayaya

-----Phil,,,Dont want to get into the middle of this "discussion" but would like to know if the tag was on the body before the roof because they had to know what roof to put on the car??? Vinyl roofs would have had the knobs for the trim clips maybe???.........Bill S

The studs were welded on later... besides the studs were on the quarters not the Roof for V-top... The studs were on the roof for the front and rear reveal moldings though... CRG assembly process has all the steps including the stud welding.

William,

I was simply trying to find a basis for your comments which seem to be your mostly your opinion. No need to get nasty about things. IMO...Festival 78 is 100% correct. The assembly of a car clearly started with the body build at Fisher and that is where the production date is-right on the trim tag along with the option content in 1967.



Happy Easter!

Please start another thread and we can discuss it. If you start it on the CRG forum, JohnZ will also respond.
But the summation is - the assembly process did not change from 67 to 69. They built cars the exact same way for years until they integrated the body shop into the assembly process under GMAD.

Nice car Max, good luck!
