Wasn't it Heartbeat City that had the 1800 mile black stripe delete '69 Z? I believe it has a -- special order paint designation.

------One of the coolest 69 Zs I ever saw was at a dealership in Newton Mass. new in 1969. It was Danube Blue with black and white houndstooth gut and white vinyl top. It was also an RS with multiple options but no stripes from the factory. Had to have been an ordered car as no dealership I ever heard of would order a Z like that for stock. My Mom lived one town over in Wellesley and yet I never saw the car again......Bill S

How would there be a Cowl delete?

[/ QUOTE ]
flat hood...cowl induction delete

[/ QUOTE ]

But the flat hood was standard, so how could there be a Cowl delete?

Or am I missing something here?

[/ QUOTE ]

no, you have it right

some people think because it doesn't have an OPTION, then it is a "delete option". That is incorrect.

for instance, i have seen people refer to a car without the OPTIONAL console as a "console delete". Not sure, but they may think it is standard and you had to "delete" the standard feature.

In the case of the hood or a console, they are both OPTIONS, so having a car without them is not having a car with "delete" options ...

the Z also has the GM hood locks, cool car from the limited pictures

[/ QUOTE ]

I love it when people think that when something is missing it is a "delete option".

That's like saying a 1969 base model, 307 Camaro has the ultra-rare ZL1 Aluminum 427 delete option.
If that is so, Didn't they make around 250,000 of them?

its like the 1970 Chevelle SS.
people say that there car is stripe delete but its not because the 1970 Chevelle SS did not come with stripes unless you ordered them as an option or if you ordered the cowl induction package you would get the stripes within the cowl induction option but you could delete the stripes from the cowl induction option. sounds confusing but true

Actually, HBC used to have that car, so you were right.

But I don't think it was a special-order color because black was RPO if I'm not mistaken.
