74 Z resto

And I don’t know how long it takes to retool a plant for the next year but the stats still show in excess of 50,000 camaros built in sept 74 as ‘75 models.

sorry, there were 11248 sept/74 built ‘75s

My father worked at Ford Stamping Plant and there was a required plant shut down for two weeks to switch over die's for the next model year.

Interesting info. The low production numbers for Sept '74 for the '75 model year Camaro and the rather late introduction into the show rooms in September of the '75 model Camaros lends more credence to z28PILOT's contact's assertion that the '74 model Camaro was being built as late as into September/74.

Hey zfool, anything new on this project?

Covid put everything on hold unfortunately.

 

[mallard]

Well, hopefully that changes. It's a project I've been curious about.

It’s a great car, now with the temps getting into the 30’s and 40’s it will help. Hey some vaccines flowing and we’ll be in good shape.

Hey Zfool, just curious if there's anything more progress on this car.

 

[zfool]

Nothing recently. Still getting some little things when we see them. When things warm up a bit, we’re going to get back on it.

 

[mallard]

Definitely an interesting project.

It’s a fantastic car, it’s been slow with COVID and working. As well as finding some rare parts, like these NOS date correct HEI plug wires. Hens teeth are easier to find lol.
