Pretty sure you got a real z/28
If you show the wheel codes on the bottom of that build sheet, that would really nail it.
They are just out of the picture at the bottom.
I can see the 55 paint code and it has posi axle.
YF front coils are z/28
UH Radiator is Z/28
Rear Springs BM

Looking good so far

Engine UPC G - nails it as a Z28.

Thats correct on the engine. Im pretty sure the spoilers and ZL2 hood were added also. This z/28 doesnt have alot of options. No tach, no console or gauges.

Would look great in its original Azure Turquoise paint.:D

If that is the original engine as stated, like William said, if that pad could be cleaned off for a really good look at the stamps, and verified as real/untampered, that would pretty much put the nail in it for me as a real Z/28, and worth while correcting other stuff if the price is right.

The car is for sale on Craigslist. I feel the price is way too high for how much it needs. Lots of cool stuff, but still needs paint, and a lot of expensive parts to make it right.

I was back and forth with the owner, but too much money (especially once you exchange into Canuck bucks). Automatic trans radiator, wrong distributor, but correct carb and alternator. Originally a flat hood car. The original interior and panels were quite attractive for me, it's a very clean car. Definitely a Z. Where on the buildsheet would the VE3 be called out? Or would it?
