Z28 Cowl Color
I see some places on the internet stating that first gen Z28 Camaros had the top of their cowl's painted the same color as the stripe. Is this true? If so, was it done 67, 68, and 69? Was it a LOS or NOR thing, or both?
Thanks, Tony Huntimer Camaro Performers Magazine |
Re: Z28 Cowl Color
Only on LA built 67 and 68 Z28s with white stripes only.

Re: Z28 Cowl Color
not entirely true, ALL 67-69 Z28's, Z10's and Z11's built at the Van Nuys assembly plant in the LA area had their upper cowl painted stripe color; white, black, orange, whatever
Norwood did not. that is what makes it ez to determine what an old body shell USED to be from the VN plant (assuming Z28 sleuthwork) |
Re: Z28 Cowl Color
Well I learnt something. I did not know the others from LA were done the same way as 67-68 Zs. Thanks

Re: Z28 Cowl Color
It's how they're painted is different. The blue 02E car is blue across the top of the cowl. Only white is under the cowl. Car still has original paint.

Re: Z28 Cowl Color
Yes I realized that Joe just was not sure on the 69 cars. Still learning every day.

Re: Z28 Cowl Color
Me too. There's a lot more to understand about Camaros than was know when I got the car 33 years ago...Joe

Re: Z28 Cowl Color
This is some great stuff! I thought I found a blue NOR Z28 with a white cowl. So NOR didn't paint their cowls stripe color?
Anyone have pictures? I see hints of orange here: http://www.classic-american.com/car_...es/ca192/5.jpg and this Z11: http://www.camaropacecars.com/1969/6...Cowl%20Tag.jpg Horrible pic of 67 Z28: http://www.z28camaro.com/img/67engine.jpg http://67z28.com/gallery/albums/67%2...ation%20Photo% http://67z28.com/gallery/albums/67%2...ation%20Photo% http://67z28.com/gallery/albums/67%2...ation%20Photo% http://67z28.com/gallery/albums/67%2...ation%20Photo% Anyone have better pictures? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif Thanks, Tony Huntimer Camaro Performers Magazine |

Re: Z28 Cowl Color
The two 69 Z's we've done in the last few years were both NOR black stripe OP cars. Both had the full blackout up to the base of the windshield.
Out of the "norm", but that's how they were. |
Re: Z28 Cowl Color
the Norwood cars got "overspray" cowl color where the Van Nuys got the entire top of the cowl stripe color form the two vertical seams from side to side and from the base of the windshield to the edge of the horizontal portion of the upper cowl

Some cars have the stripe color cover the cowl entirely and top of the firewall. It is more common to find less stripe color towards the front of the cowl, but it did occur quite often. |
Re: Z28 Cowl Color
My 69 Z has solid white overspray on the driver's side (in front of the cowl vent panel) while the pass side has light coverage.
Pretty typical for NOR cars. Some may be there, but not always. |
