Q:   Jack and Component Paint Color
  I am cleaning up my bumper jack, jack stand, and tire iron. Can anyone on the list recommend what color appears correct for 1968? Seems like I've seen black and a light blue color on these pieces.
 
A: The blue is correct for 68, but its not light blue. I had local PandB supply shop mix some up for me by eye match. so don't know any codes or formulas. It matched perfectly so anyone should be able to match for you. The jack handle is gray.
 
A: The bumper jack and jack stand should be blue. The closest I've seen to the correct color is Ford Engine Blue which is available in a rattle can from Dupli-Color.



Q:   Rear Deck Lid Spoiler
  Did pre 69 Birds have a spoiler option from the factory? I thought that it was only available for 1st Gen Birds on the 69 TA.
 
A: 1) No, the only way to get a spoiler on a 67 or 68 Firebird was to get a Camaro spoiler and add it on. Some dealers were willng to do this to deliver a car new this way, but that will never be "factory installed".

2) The only way to get a spoiler on a 69 Firebird was to order the Trans Am option, there was no separate option available for a spoiler only. Same again, though, you could get it through parts after April 1969 and add it on, or use the wider 69 Camaro spoiler aquired through the parts department.
