Here's a build sheet I found under the carpet of a 1970 LA built Camaro. It was on the tranny tunnel and a seat belt had been bolted through it. Up close it looks almost burned around the hole. I believe the burn look was caused by the tar like sound proofing.

What's a "Camaro driveaway"?

I wish I still had the car. It was as plain as they came.
As for the Camaro Driveaway. I am still researching it.

I think John Z was explaining that in another thread but I can't remember which site. I don't want to post the wrong information so I'll see if I can find it.

Found the thread on Nastyz28.com regarding the driveaway. This is quoted from Kurt S.

From JohnZ:
"Driveaways" were fairly common in those days - usually organized by the Zone Sales guys; groups of dealers (10, 20 or more) would order cars, and the Zone would make an event out of it, with the dealers picking up the cars all at once at the plant and driving them home. We had a "driveaway" row in the yard where the cars would be accumulated, and each car would get dealer-prepped and filled with gas before the event, which usually included a plant tour and sometimes a catered meal, tents, etc.

It was my understanding the Arlington Texas plant did not start building Chevelles of any year until December of 1969. This was one of the reasons it was very unusual to find a build sheet at all in an Arlington car, and if you did, it was located under the passengers floor board under the underlayment. The other plants that had started bulding Chevelles since 1964 has numerous build sheets, and could be found under the back seat, behind door panels, stuffed under the dash, by the pedals ect.

The original Window Sticker from my Arlington Texas and every other real LS6 I have ever seen from this plant, has always Stated: "...Dual Dual exhaust..." on it. This is the only plant that I have ever seen this commonly typed like that.. Rick Nelson, can you comment on this?

Anyone have a comment on my previous post? I'm just trying to learn what I can about the Arlington Texas built cars.

No Arlington production reported earlier than December would be supported by the following.....
