Re: '69 NC blue X-ram (well documented)
I just noticed the headlight washer tube is broken on the blue xram. All that money spent and they didn't fix that.

Re: '69 NC blue X-ram (well documented)
It would be interesting to see if those extended stripes are actually painted up inside the rear taillight mount lip on the 69's. In order to paint them like that the taillights and bumper would need to be removed whereas the factory wouldn't have installed them yet and it would be easy to paint extended stripes. It makes me think it's some form of "special paint" and those cars would have the -- paint code.

Re: '69 NC blue X-ram (well documented)
Are there any surviving original paint 1969 Camaros still around with stripes like that today,that someone could get close to and answer that specific question?

uhhhh...Or if you just extended the existing stripes they would all come out the same. [/ QUOTE ] I can't belive that that didn't occur to me. I was comparing all the pics to see how the stripes matched up. I must have been from IA in a past life.

Re: '69 NC blue X-ram (well documented)
Didn't a lot of dealers extend the stripes off the spoiler and down to the tail light bezel? I'm sure some ran them all the way down.That,or some guys having friday fun on the line.

Re: '69 NC blue X-ram (well documented)
That's true. Someone could have just extended them. Notice on the one Frank posted, and the one for sale that they are dead on. Even in the license plate area. The left is closer to the center than the right side. Usually if you free hand something like that, you'll try to even it out. That's what makes me think it's a stencil.
Maybe GM's got the answer hid with the L 89 novas, rocker curtains on 68 novas, and a lot of other stuff we just guess about.

Re: '69 NC blue X-ram (well documented)
I thought that the rocker curtians had been answered in another post with-in the last 9 months or so?
I could be wrong...
