Re: Time capsule

Re: Time capsule
By no means am I an Expert.... but just pointing out another item that that seems "out of the ordinary"
It appears that the P and B stamped above the heater box are green and the T is orange(and also upside down). I know they used these colors but have never seen them used in combination

Re: Time capsule
The PTB's can be orange or green, and while most cars had all 3 the same color, I believe its possible for them to be mixed and matched... as for the upside down T, you'll see the letters stamped in every direction, and in various spots on each side of the firewall. Looks like a killer car to me!

Nice Car.  I noticed the "T" is upside down & under the Cowl tag. Is that unusual? [/ QUOTE ] The stamps used were square printer blocks, very easy to have it upside down and not know it til you hit the firewall with it... I have an address stamp and do this on an envelope at least once a week.

Re: Time capsule
One theroy I have heard discussed on Camaros.net is that the difference between the orange and green might have indicated a quality issue that needed to be addressed at the end of the line. Some have suggested that orange might have been the flag that the particular "P","B" or "T" needed attention. Seems reasonable but only the people who lived it would know.
