No, they are not...unless the car was delivered that way from Berger Chevrolet. That panel is called a tail panel, and if you paint it black, it's simply a black tail panel. :)

You will hear many people say otherwise, but they are mistaken.

so only camaros from Berger Chevy came with the rear panel blackout?

No, many (all?) BBC first gens and early second gens came from GM with a black tail panel. Some cars sold by Berger Chevy had the tail panel painted black as part of special dealer packages that were done.

IMO, only F-bodies that arrived at Berger Chevy with a "normal" tail panel, and were sold by them with a black painted tail panel can be considered as having a "Berger Panel"

It was more than just Camaros, as well. A lot of factory hot rods came with blacked out tail panels.

In an EPIC FAIL, 4th gen guys call a black tail panel a "Berger panel" since it was made popular by the Berger cars. Which is why a Green Berger Panel is a Fail x2- a "Berger" panel can only be black, and it isn't a "Berger" panel unless it's on a Berger 4th gen.

looking good hope it all goes in easy.

And here we go again with the berger and tail panel thing again lol

Yeah, I really try to stay out of it. Really.

lol the motor and trans should be in this weekend. im busy during the week so i cant do it. i dont know if im gunna drive it around with the 10bolt or just wait a few more days till i get a 12b

Why the need for a 12bolt?

why not?

my last 10bolt was pretty built(gears, locker, ect) and the wheel fell off lol

Just seems over kill and a lot of money when you should be trying to get the car back to running status.

well all i need to do its put the motor in and figure out this pcm thing and it is running status.

you think people get aftermarket rears to keep the wheels on? :|

If you were still running c-clips then I wouldn't call it built.

true lol

so you think my 10b w. the stuff i have and then C Clip Eliminators will hold?

Engine = Stock, so I don't see why not. Don't run slicks and drop the clutch.

stock? :-?

.....ins't it?

negatory. its a 383

Oh?

What heads/cam?

still stock heads, debating throwing a set on befor i toss the anchor in.

what cam?

dont know of the top of my head to be honest with you lol.

i got the purple pearl car with it in there. ill check the recipts when i go to my shop.

people have gone plenty fast in the past with 10 bolts. I wouldn't "not drive the car" just because it has a 10 bolt. Don't shock the rear too much and you will be ok.

i normaly dont abuse the car. i like to go with the whole "fast cars drive slow" thingy lol
