I have a 68 camaro. I was lucky enough to recieve the protecto plate with the car along with the owners manual and various other items which helped me decode the car.
According to the information I have with the car. Its a base model v-8 camaro. 327 with a 2 speed powerglide.
the strange part is the paint code comes back as a blue with white stripe. Did they offer a stripe for a non SS or RS car? Also it has front power disc brakes, power steering, 4 leafs in the rear. Items that usually do not come on a base car.
The car had been repainted white over its original blue paint. After sanding on the car, There is in fact a bubble bee stripe across the front just as the numbers decode. there is also two holes on the front end of the fender in between the stipes... I'm assuming where there were probably 327 emblems.
I know the car is not an ss or rs. But its weird that someone would basically order all of the options that came on a ss (aside from the powertrain) on a base car. It seems as if they ordered an SS, it probably would have been cheaper than to oder all the exta options on a base car... I dunno..
anyone ever hear of this? I really didnt think you could get a stripe from the factory without a ss or rs package.
