I believe the XT wheels came on the car for the following reasons: the spare in the trunk has a job# on it, they are all dated 8/17 and the car was built 9B, the XT rims have black base color(typical)with argent silver on the outside (no body color ever applied to outside). Again I don't know who bolted the ralley cap and dog dish together, but Park Chevrolet was NOT a performance dealer and I doubt anyone would have had the knowledge or motivation to do this. Also in 1969 SS camaro wheel width increased from 6 to seven inches and I have never seen a YJ coded ralley wheel dated prior to mid October of 68. The above leads me to believe it was done at the factory. Anyone out there with a YJ rims dated Aug of 68 or 1st week of Sept or earlier let me know.

That car is shown with the P06 option. Trim rings on base wheel. Another question is, if this was ordered would the wheels be painted body color or silver as my car.

First, let me say this is a very nice car. I love the color and the story on it's history.
Second, I seem to learn something regularly here about 69's.
Third, I do not want to steal from the thread but the above quote got my attention. My camaro's vin is N507007. I have always known it was an early car, but if this car is a second week car then my car may have been a first week car? My car has odd things about it that only seemed to be on very early ones such as rear antenae and 68 (narrower)rear spoiler. Is there a source that breaks down VIN information that precise and tells which cars got which engines? There could not have been many big blocks installed before this car or my car-right?
Thanks,
Bill
