Z28 Cowl Color

[TonyHuntimerRaceHome]

I see some places on the internet stating that first gen Z28 Camaros had the top of their cowl's painted the same color as the stripe. Is this true? If so, was it done 67, 68, and 69? Was it a LOS or NOR thing, or both?

Thanks,

Only on LA built 67 and 68 Z28s with white stripes only.

not entirely true, ALL 67-69 Z28's, Z10's and Z11's built at the Van Nuys assembly plant in the LA area had their upper cowl painted stripe color; white, black, orange, whatever

Norwood did not.

that is what makes it ez to determine what an old body shell USED to be from the VN plant (assuming Z28 sleuthwork)

Well I learnt something. I did not know the others from LA were done the same way as 67-68 Zs. Thanks

It's how they're painted is different. The blue 02E car is blue across the top of the cowl. Only white is under the cowl. Car still has original paint.

Yes I realized that Joe just was not sure on the 69 cars. Still learning every day.
