unusual 1969 Camaro with dealer installed sunroof

[Supercar_Kid]

Thanks for clearing that up Kurt. I'm not sure why I thought there was no POSI available with A/C, it doesn't make any sense, but I thought I read it somewhere. Maybe it had something to do with ratios. Did A/C cars get special economy gear ratios as compared to identical cars w/o the A/C option? I need to start taking notes...

I know your talking about the 69, but my 68 has factory a/c with a posi and zero tint. it was also thought that you had to have ralley wheel's with disc brakes but mine has the painted steel rims.

Are they XT coded 7" wide versions?

Mr396 and Joe, starting in 1968 you no longer needed to order the ZJ7 rally wheel option with disc brakes on the Camaros. There was a standard 14 x 6 steel wheel for disc brake non-Z/28 models and it was coded XF. In 1969 the SS and COPO models ordered w/o the ZJ7 rally wheel received a 14 x 7 steel wheel coded XT. All other disc brake equipped Camaros in 69, ecept Z's, received the XF coded 14 x 6 steel wheel as used in 1968. The 14 x 7 steel wheels were installed only on the SS and COPO models.........RatPack...........

No, the backside of the wheel is different than those with disc brakes. As a matter of fact I have not any 14" non-disc brake wheel to fit any disc brake cars, even the 69 and later single piston floating caliper models. I ran into this last month while putting a set of wheels on a kids 74 Nova that had front discs. The front wheels were both 14 x 6 with the same backspace but one of the wheels was not made for disc brakes. I got to checking it a little closer and found the difference lies in the actual "hoop" of the wheel. The non-disc brake one only has about a 2" lip step up to where the "spider" or center of the wheel welds in, whereas the disc brake models have about 3" lip. I will try and get some pictures later this evening showing the differences.........RatPack.............

Here is the FC coded 14 x 6 steel wheel for drum brake 68-69 Camaros. Notice how narrow the lip is on the backside of the wheel. This will interfere with the caliper on a disc brake car. I will post a picture of a disc brake wheel in a little while.........RatPack.....................
