iceman Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 I'm replacing my glass in the SS this winter and found something interesting on my passenger door. Near the top of the frame on the inside it is stamped with Z20! This really surprised me since the doors for an SS car certainly aren't different from a non-SS car. How many of you SS owners/restorers have found this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katman Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Iceman, I don't recall seeing the Z20 stamp on my passenger door when I had the panels off a few years back. Thought I might have taken some pictures of that work but can't seem to locate them. Are you replacing the quarter windows too? Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share Posted December 31, 2007 Yeah Mark ... the quarter windows are coming out today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capri's 71 SS Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 hm, that is pretty interesting! I'll have to look if my panels ever come off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katman Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Where did you get the replacement quarter windows? I've been debating replacing them too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceman Posted January 1, 2008 Author Share Posted January 1, 2008 Kat, I got the glass from Auto City Classic in Minnesota. You can get the glass with all of the correct markings and date codes if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my1st monte Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 First off Happy New Year. My question is I need to know if you can get the weather strip for the quarter glass and the roof edge. Mine are cracked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capri's 71 SS Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Ice - Greg would love to know more on where this stamping was - he'd love to take a look in the spring to check out mine....details, please! Happy New Year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your best bet is to check with Leo Konik This is where I got mine from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman Posted January 1, 2008 Author Share Posted January 1, 2008 Capri, The stamp was on the upper part of the door near the center ... just about the location for the pull strap on the door panel. Behind the Z20 there was also an 857 stamped but I can't figure this one out. I'll try to post pics soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KLASSIK1 Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 not so sure on the markings but i will take a look , could be a random part id , i dont think they marked ss doors from other doors just doesent seem feasible to the production process , i will take a look at some of the doors i have and ss cars , i have seen alphanumerical marking on a lot of body panels , and have found no tie to rpo numbers Leo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Richey Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Kat, I got the glass from Auto City Classic in Minnesota. You can get the glass with all of the correct markings and date codes if you want. Never heard of that marking. That sounds interesting. Oh I didn't know you could get Monte Carlo 1/4 windows new, that is good to know. Now I don't feel guilty of letting several sets go to the crusher in corpses left of cars I stripped.

Rob Peters Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Behind the Z20 there was also an 857 stamped but I can't figure this one out. I'll try to post pics soon. Stan, I was wondering if it is possible there was a number 3 before the 857. If so it could be part of the body tag decoding numbers: 2nd and 3rd Digits Series 38 Monte Carlo 4th and 5 Digits Body Style 57 2-dr hardtop coupe Just a thought.

71ss454 * (Larry) Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 i looked at my doors today they have stamped Z11 on drive side Z10 on pass side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman Posted January 3, 2008 Author Share Posted January 3, 2008 Rob, I thought about that but I can't see the 3 before the 857. I have the build sequence sheet from the flint plant (basically an inventory sheet for the interior) but I haven't checked to see if that number matches anything there.

Shadow Gray SS Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Anyone else have any luck finding these numbers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
