What a great piece of &quot;documentation&quot;. The idiot who heated the plate originally stuck to that back page couldn't even do it without burning the paper, and still stuck the new plate to it!? The protecto plate says nantucket blue, and the cowl tag says deepwater hmm.. Maybe Mr. Bonkowski can clear things up for us [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/bs.gif[/img]

VIN 124377N174147

What a bunch o' foolishness!.
Note the statement made by the seller in the eBoy questions area..

<span style="font-style: italic">&quot;...The car appears to have a lot of rare and valuable GM parts Z/28 parts on it, whether McNeish would certify it or not...&quot;</span>

not that my opinion matters in such an esteemed forum of COPO owners but i'll bet any car ever made in the history of automobiles could be 'special ordered' under 'special circumstances' any way someone wanted their car built no matter option lists. for anyone to 'Guarantee' that a 67-68-69Z could'nt be special ordered or built w/an automatic tansmissions preposterious, probably (realistically)
20-40+ 67-68-69Z28's were built with automatic transmissions.

You sound like the owner of the car. Your car has already been proven to have a fake cowl tag and a fake protecto plate.

there were no 67-69 Z28's that left the assembly line in Norwood or Van Nuys that had an automatic transmission, ESPECIALLY any with a powerglide ...

this is not the only forum that knows the car is not anything close to what it is being presented as ... see above link

You should have built a &quot;rare' 67 Z28 with a powerglide AND factory air ... wow, think how more desireable that would be ...

They only made basecars, specials were made in Norwood or other plants if it wasn't a Camaro. The specials came in through Antwerp and got the Antwerp trimtag but it kept the Norwood tag. Several examples of that on SS cars.

So if it was a 67 Z/28 it was going through Antwerp as a special. And it wouldn't have had an auto trans.

There was a magazine claiming a Swedish Stock Dragrace car was a 67 Z/28 30 years ago, I think I've showed you that one.

Janne, could they have changed the car to an automatic in Antwerp ? Or maybe it was done by a dealer, who knows ?
A friend of mine who lives in Värnamo had a 1971 Antwerp Z28. I can´t remember seing a Norwood tag on that car, but it was probably there. This was years ago.
Yes I remember the dragrace car.

not the owner of the car or know the owner of the car Jim, also not attempting to challange anything you guys say 'could' or 'could not happen', you guys are the experts not me, but my dad was a 9 level executive @ Chevrolet Central Headquarters (mid 70's-mid 90's), if he was around in 67-69 and a relative or friend wanted an auto in a Z pretty sure he could've pulled some strings and made it happen. out of 26,815 Zs made between 67-69 i find it hard to believe that not a single auto made it through the system. theres probably 'hundreds' of special circumstance examples of chevrolet musclecars that were built contrary to order forms. if r.penske wanted a 68 auto Z it would've been made.
