has anyone seen on the top of the left and right fender chrome turn signals ?

NicKey · 10-18-2014, 08:02 PM

Yes. That is the rare fiber optics option, which also had signal indicator pod on the rear bulkhead, which the driver could monitor from the rear view mirror.

Looks like a clean nice car. It does appear to me that the front grille Z/28 emblem isn't placed correctly, unless it is just the angle of the picture. Looks like it needs to go towards the drivers side headlight one section. Might want to check that.
Hope it runs as good as it looks

I have one just like yours but no cross-ram or fiber optics.

Yes, your grill emblem is attached a little too close to the center and the grill really needs to be argent silver to be more correct but nobody will care once they look under the hood. The cross-ram makes the car stand out for sure.

The fiber optic turn signal indicators do not need electricity to power them. They do need the fiber optic cables to pipe the light from the light bulbs to the indicators but those should not be too tough to obtain. They were much more common on Vettes and Luxury cars so parts and pieces can be found.

Hope you enjoy the new ride!

-Mark.

Op, nice car, do you have any pictures from the rear?

stev15 · 10-23-2014, 01:18 PM

Is Lamans Blue the only 69Z that had silver grille?

Stingr69 · 10-23-2014, 02:41 PM

All '69 Z/28's got silver grills except for RS/Z28's that have black RS grilles. This is true UNLESS the RS/Z28 is black in body color, and then it got the silver RS grill.

SS cars have black grilles except for black body color SS cars that got silver grills.

Simple - NOT!
