: 68-69 Mag Wheel Covers
cwb90 Dec 31st, 09, 11:11 AM How much do you think a set of 5 mag-spoke wheel covers are worth in very good condition. I think this was option code RPO PA2.

Vince,
I saw these are listed in "The Illustrated Camaro Recognition Guide" on page 170. They state they are a 1968-69 mag-spoke wheel cover (RPO PA2). Has anyone else seen these on a Camaro?

Microgiant Jan 12th, 10, 12:26 PM Last time I saw those for sale I thought no way those are for Camaro. Learn something new I guess. But did anyone ever actually select that option because they are FUGLY!
gro51 Jan 12th, 10, 03:29 PM I think they're cool. Something different.
switching2guns Jan 12th, 10, 03:58 PM With something like that, I always like to try a no reserve auction and see what the market brings, sorry for the lack of help....

ragtop68RS Jan 13th, 10, 08:04 PM My 68 came with these when I bought the car in 1988. I actually used them for the first couple of years. My documentation from GM Canada vintage vehicle services confirms the car came with option PA2 -- "simulated magnesium wheel trim cover."

Eric, I noticed RPO PO6 on that sheet, that shows the COPO style dog dish hub cap with a trim ring. I had seen a GM publicity photo in a book showing this setup, but I had been told by some fairly knowledgeable sources that the Dog dish was never used with a trim ring (I installed a set on my 69 big block car with the rings a few years ago). What is the story on this option? Was it an active RPO that was installed on some cars?
Eric Kammerer Jan 14th, 10, 06:50 AM CRG data shows 2,401 69 Camaros equipped with PO6 trim rings. Not available 67-68. So PO6 appears to be a real option, just not common.
More common than those PA2 covers though...just 1362 69 models got those (4085 in 68)
RSSSfanatic Jan 14th, 10, 09:36 AM Eric, just curious - how many got the simulated wire wheel covers (RPO N051)? That is what my car actually came with - one was still on it. Not that I plan to install a set - I think they look more at home on a Caddy or a Buick Electra. :)
Eric Kammerer Jan 14th, 10, 10:39 AM RPO N95 is the simulated wire wheel covers; 2,118 69 models got N95.

They did not make a 5 lug version of these hubcaps. They were all 6 lug to my knowledge. I have a set of NOS.
Eric Kammerer Jan 14th, 10, 01:08 PM I think he means the N96 covers. They have 5 spokes and 5 simulated lugs.
RSSSfanatic Jan 14th, 10, 01:15 PM Mike, I was referring to the N-96 RPO Simulated Mag Style Wheel Covers - available for all 3 years of Camaro. Similar design to the ones shown here, but a more traditional 5-spoke design. I mistakenly referred to them as N-95, and now it appears that N-95 is the wire wheel cover.
