I bought a '46 Fleetline coupe from a guy that said his dad installed a Camaro front clip on. He said he thought it was an early 70's model. But after talking with the second gen guys they have determined that it is actually a first gen clip. Is there a way I can tell which year it came from?

I know I won't be the only reply. I have a 68 and I am definitely not an expert, but I know the 67 and 68 are identical. There may be a stamp somewhere I don't know about that may give you a year. But I haven't heard of any such thing for the sub-frame.

 

Oh yes, the most important part. Looks about right to me. Looks like mine.

 

I would say 1969. Notice placement of the lower A arm rubber bump stop, I think only 1969 had it at that location.

 

Thank you. Thanks to your suggestion I started looking and found this...
Camaro Chassis - Suspension, Axle, Brakes, & Wheels
and it told me what I was looking for. So it is a '69.

how much is that top chopped? it looks really good on that car.

 

I'm not sure how much it was chopped. The guy I bought it from had already done it. If I ever get to see an original one I will measure it so I will know. I have a lot of rework to do on it. They welded up the trunk which will make it very difficult to run the air tanks and compressors for the suspension.

yeah i love the center post of those cars in chopped 53 54 chevys. but looks like a pretty solid start on a kool kustom.
