My '69 Z28 Find - Page 3

What a score with my favorite interior color. After seeing so many restored Z/28s it is so refreshing to see a flat hood original car. Is this car exceptional or did most most original Camaros have this good of panel alignment from the factory? I would do what ever I could to save those fenders because you are not going to get that great of a fit even with NOS fenders.

very cool car! I did not think norwood cars even had build sheets. Most of the unrestored camaros I have seen have a bigger than normal gap between the front fender and the leading edge of the door, and when restored that gap is reduced.

It is a 386 block with a casting date of M34. I believe if you go to the Camaro.net website there is some research done that explains the M coded block.

Thanks a lot guys!

No spoiler, flat hood. The rear spoiler was added (not by me). I will not be putting a cowl hood on the car. It was there was I purchased it. The original flat hood is here to stay.

Thanks,
Dan

<span style="font-weight: bold">From the CRG on the M Code Block:
"M"-Coded Blocks
There is one exception to this convention that has been observed: some blocks have been seen with "M" cast codes. Research by the Saginaw Metal Casting Operations of GM Powertrain Division has found that these "M" codes are not date codes, but actually a foundry code used to indentify parts that were made to evaluate a casting process change. After evaluating the parts, the blocks would either be destroyed or released into production. There is no way to determine the date an "M"-coded block was poured. </span>

Please put me in line when you are ready to part with it. Since you said no spoiler it is perfect, just perfect.

That is almost the exact car I want for a daily driver. LMB, White HS, flat hood, #s Z. Myself, I would have to add RS and an endura [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]
