    I dont see many First Gen rides on here, and Im partial to them Anyways, in 68, there were some cars that had the emblem "etched" into the door glass, and noone knows what determined which cars were equipped with them. It didnt show up on the build sheets, wasnt listed in options, and wasnt unique to any plant, trim package, or anything. The most valid theory Ive found is that it was used for showroom cars and was randomly distributed to dealers. The glass was never reproduced, factory or aftermarket, so the few pieces that came in the selected 68 cars are all that there are. Needless to say, theyre not very plentiful, but I was lucky enough to have them on my 68 that Im restoring. Heres a pic of it when I first got the car.....

        Nothing unique about my car...other than Joe's similar de-embleming...except the driver. In the state of GA, I honestly say that I'm on of the few Asian owner...not that I consider myself anything more than a Patriotic American...but when you see a bright red TA with Speedlines and a chinky dude behind the wheel...you know it's Chris.

              THIS IS MY CAMARO. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My Camaro is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. My Camaro, without me is useless.

              My Camaro is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its transmission and its engine. I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and damage. I will keep my Camaro clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other.

              Thanks to the U.S. Marine Corps for the inspiration!

                I have a GT with a 9"...gaaah, sounds like I own a ford!

                How about having an automatic with a 9"...I think that should be somewhat unique.

                          Hmmm...let's see.

                          Since she's a 1996 Ram Air T/A, she's limited at 1 in about 2500.
                          Being white with t-tops, an "uplevel spoiler" (option that year), M6, and cloth interior makes her probably 1 in maybe 250.

                          Now, she also has twin silver stripes, and a host of other mods...making her down right rare. (Have yet to see another white 96 in NJ)

                          And to top it all off, she has probably the only pair of 409SS LT4 exhaust manifolds NOT found on an LT4...making her totally unique.

                          How's that?
                          Al 96 Ram Air T/A
                          Mods: Build # 784 * Hotchkis STB * SFCs * Borla cat back w/QTP cut-out * AS&M/RK Sports Mid-length headers w/single CAT * Koni SA shocks on lower perch w/ lowered rear * Strano Hollow front & rear antisway bars * 1LE front/rear springs * 1LE aluminum driveshaft * Strange 4.10 gears w/ Zexel Torsen diff. * ARP bearing cap studs & aluminum diff cover* J&M Hotpart poly/poly rear LCAs and poly/poly panhard bar * RAM Powergrip clutch w/ LT4 PP and RAM billet Al flywheel * C5 Z06 brakes * C6 Z06 wheels * Spohn T/A * Spohn DS Loop * fully custom interior w/ custom audio

                            Well there are four F-bodies like mine in town. One is a Camaro not a Firebird, Another is a T/A so its out, and the final is a bird only its an auto, and mine is a five speed.

                            Mustangs run from my car it seems including the 360R Roush performance package one.

                            I also have A 8 Front plate and floormats!

                                1993 models also have that lovely yellow lettering on the displays and buttons. Not my cup of tea, but it looks like it would go with your color scheme!
