Hi all,
I'm new here, but I believe this looks like the place to be.
I have a 69 Firebird convertible that has some very confusing features. I am hoping the experts here might be able to shed some light for me.
-The car has orange rectangle rear qtr markers. I thought they are supposed to be birds, or at least red in color. Was this car possibly repaired with Camaro rear qtrs at sometime or could this car be an early or late year production?
- The console (according to the Pontiac assoc. build sheet, was originally ordered) appears to a 69 Camaro w/T-handle. Did GM also use this console on some Firebirds? None of my Pontiac parts catalogs list any of the consoles parts but the Camaro catalogs do.
- The steering column does not have the lock feature. Was it probably just replaced with an earlier year or did some of the 69's get out of the factory without the lock feature?
- I haven't read the year stamp yet and the car was built with a TH400 but the block is coded WT?
- One last thing, I ordered a replacement front spoiler. The company claims it is the same spoiler as the Camaros. However, it doesn't match the one currently on my car. Were the Camaro and Firebird spoilers for a 69 exactly the same?
Thanks everyone. I'm happy to be here [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]
