1967 Camaro Pace Car

[txrsss]

"I can vouch for what Mark is saying...since I am Canadian and my first Camaro at 17 was a Canadian Pace Car - and it was an RS - I've got the GM paperwork on the car to boot."

Mark,

What does your GM of Canada paperwork on this car say after paint?

Example:

"PAINT: 1001HA - SPECIAL WHITE PAINT"

Mark--Could you scan your GM of Canada paperwork and send it to me privately??? I'll show you mine if you show me your's?!?

Matt and Tom--This could be your answer right here as far as the clear coat. Has anyone else noticed this? The Body Broadcast Copy printed in Incremona's old book on page 25 is from a Festival car and has ".." in the BODY COLOR space and 1001AA at the bottom. I have the 1967 Service News and they show a '67 truck color White RPO521 as DuPont code 817-L. Ermine White is Dupont code 4024-L. Maybe this is a brighter white??? The special order paint O-O orange cars that I have seen are what I believe to be the orange from the truck line, RPO516...DuPont code 31-L. Just a thought! May be worth looking into???!!!???

Tom--The Ermine White lacquer sample left here yesterday.

No problem Mike, I may have to fax or mail it though as my scanner is packed away and I really don't have anywhere to hook it up. It may take me a few weeks to get down to those files as they are packed away also. I think I have all of the shippers for the Canadian cars also from a friend of mine up here along with a letter from the International Camaro Club stating the VINS (from what I recall).

Mark,

Thanks! Then you should have the info on N236970, but either way I will go ahead and scan it and send it to you privately.

Hate to ask, but does anyone know if the Sears give away car was an RS?

The code "1001HA" is interesting because this code is on the line of the build sheet with the other COPO codes on 427 COPO Chevelles with special paint. I have also seen the 1001 number with different ECLs on the end.

[txrsss]

Yep, seen 1001AA also. What year Chevelle did you see this on? And what was the original paint color?

Mike

69 COPO/Yenko 427 Chevelles monaco orange and daytona yellow
Also the 68 Yenko Camaro raffle car had the 1001 number on it's paper work. I forget the ECL. I remember thinking the number was for paint but they decoded it as something else. The docs were shown in a magazine article.

Things sound like they're starting to come together..Great work TEX....Let's figure all this out BEFORE I paint my car. Charley..surprised you were not piping up on this topic until I saw your BJ postings..I must admit it's a little disheartening to here of such scams out there.. Mike..Scott my paint buddie is looking forward to shooting laquer again in good ol' Liberal Massachusetts!! It's not just beer..it's an adventure!

No the Sears give away wasn't an SS or RS. It was a C1 coded convertible, with an "B" standard blue interior car with a 327/210HP engine and a 2 spd column shift powerglide transmission. VIN is 124677N209420, body number is NOR108681 and it was built sometime in early April of 67. It was delivered on 6/5/67. The "Official Pace Car" decals were on it when it was delivered and the promo pictures were taken but were removed before the first owner took it home.

Basically it was a pacesetter car that had a set of decals installed for a short period of time.

Thanks Mark...I looked at those shippers pretty closely and thought I had caught them all. That's interesting about the black tailpan. I'll check the local car to see if there are any remnants of the black paint showing under the Blue.

MrMotion: Does your pic of the Mosport gathering show the black tailpans?
