'69 Camaro Tow Tabs
 

Looking for tow tabs for a '69 Camaro - NMW preferred but will consider all.

Re: '69 Camaro Tow Tabs
 

If there aren't any for sale, I would be greatly interested in details pics or plans to fabricate them.
Thanks - fred

I have some up-close pics of the tow tabs on my 70 Nova.....are they the same as a 69 Camaro???

Also have some CRUDE drawings......you could make a pair very easy.

I have a NOS pair of NMW Nova tow tabs brand new in the box, I will try to get some pics posted. SULLY

Re: '69 Camaro Tow Tabs
 

I have a few sets of NMW tow tabs for different cars. I'll copy a set of the ones for a 69 Camaro if you guys can't find them. I can make them with the same methods of construction as NMW used back in the 1960's.

Re: '69 Camaro Tow Tabs
 

I have a '70 NMW catalog and the Chevelle, Nova and Camaro tabs are all different. In fact, the '69 Camaro is different from the '67 & '68. I can scan and post a pic from the catalog of the '69 Camaro tabs if you'd like (tomorrow).

I was on a budget, so I made my own back then (along with the tow bar). They always got me there and back just fine.

Re: '69 Camaro Tow Tabs
 

Here are the pics from my catalog to reinforce what has already been posted. The catalog # for the '69 Camaro tabs is TB-51. Having this number may help if you find new ones when the owner doesn't know the application. The other numbers are all there as well for anyone looking for other applications. I believe the first scan also appeared in the MOTION catalog that Bruce posted, but it's a little hard to read the detail. Hope this helps. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

Here is an original and a homemade tow tab for a '69 Camaro made over the weekend. Not yet complete, but thought you guys might like a look-see.

Looks good Paul https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: '69 Camaro Tow Tabs
 

Saw the Plowmans (Paul) work today. Great guy to talk with. VERY nice welding and fabrication on the tow tabs. Painted, you would never know. We did determine that these tow tabs will NOT fit a 69 camaro with an endura bumper as they are. Not the NMW's anyway. Grab a picture of the Kelly green Baldwin Motion camaro that Otis Chandler use to own. I guess Joel made his own for that application. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Here is the final product.

I'd be willing to do a run of these since I'm kinda setup to do them right now, if there is enough interest.

Re: '69 Camaro Tow Tabs
 

I'm interested in a set. What's the story on the Baldwin emblem?

Re: '69 Camaro Tow Tabs
 

I traded some other authentic Motion parts to another collector at one point. I always thought it was strange all the cars we see these days have only a Baldwin sticker.

Re: '69 Camaro Tow Tabs
 

Hey Paul. They even look better than I thought they would! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: '69 Camaro Tow Tabs
 

I've never seen that emblem before, only the decal. Where is Camaro Joe?
