Don, did the POP have the "A" "B" or "C" at the end of the trans code designating an M-20, 21, or 22? That is what I think is unusual about this particular POP.

The POP tranny code was correct for the M-20 in the car. The car was a SS-350 and had "C" for carb code, rather than "R", that was what I was questioning.

Sorry to drag another question into all this but I have a growing interest in 70Z's I guess......am wondering if the black stripes on this car would be the correct color for this particular car. I looked at the buildsheet but couldn't see anything although not all of the buildsheet is exposed in the pictures. I'm assuming you could get black or white stripes for this blue on blue color combo. Thanks.

It was a joke. Didn't say it was a funny joke. They can't all be gems.

Ad says "special ordered with the black stripe instead of the white stripe".

Understand, but the ad infers the black stripes came with the special Hurst package which COPO427 indicates in an earlier post that no such package exists....plus I don't believe everything just because it is in an ad. Just trying to find out how one verifies this as some data indicates that Norwood built Z's for this year would show stripe colors by their paint code #'s on the trim tag but that Van Nuys built cars did not. Has to be some means that would prove the stripe color I would think. 1970 Chevelle buildsheet would show the stripe color on the buildsheet in one of the boxes (forget which # box). I'm sure the black stripes are probably correct for this car but was just curious how to determine.

I'm learning here as well.....back to the carburetor, in looking at the add'l pix with this ad it shows a closeup of the carb and the numbers seem to be correct for a 780 cfm for that year/model/engine/trans. Are we sure about the protecto plate interpretation.....maybe the dealer simply put the wrong cfm wording in the ad?

COPO427 - should the vertical piece in the center of the grill be the same color as the car?

[/ QUOTE ]

70 Z's were all 780 cfm secondary vacuum carbs. No double pumpers were used on the 70 Z28's. The list and part #'s are correct for a 4-spd 70 Z28. The ad is incorrect on the 850 DP.

The centre of the grille should be body coloured.
See this pic I took at a Camaro show. It's an original owner, original paint low mi 70 Z28. And before it's asked, the front spoiler wasn't available until 1971. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

I'm no expert here but I don't think the center bar on the RS grille should be body colored. I know you say the Camaro in the picture is original owner, etc. but I have never seen a '70 RS Z with a body colored center bar. To further my point that the pictured Camaro isn't 100% correct; check out the headlight trim pieces. They are blacked out which was not original either so I wouldn't use this car as a refernce point for originality.

Re: 1970 RS-Z/28 for sale
 

Stripes for code 26 could be ordered white or black, see http://ca.geocities.com/[email protected]_trim_b.jpg

My POP for my non RS 70 Z28 has a H at the end of my VIN on the first line.
My POP does not specify a A,B or C for M20, M21 or M22. Mine only shows P0E08 which = Muncie, 70, May, 08. And my car is a Norwood car.

Re: 1970 RS-Z/28 for sale
 

1996Z15 is correct that the center bar in between the two grilles on an RS car should not be painted body color. The posted car is not a good reference car for originality in that respect.

My first car was a Hugger Orange w/white stripes '70 RS Z-28, M-22 w/4.10's which I bought in 1980 and still have today. That car was FAST for a highschool kid. Still can't believe my dad let me buy it. I don't think he had any idea what it was as he was driving a VW Beetle at the time.

The early 2nd gen. Z's are now finally getting the respect they deserve in the collector market.

Re: 1970 RS-Z/28 for sale
 

COPO, your correct on the centre grille. I verified it with my buds on www.nastyz28.com.

Black natural rubber. Also the center reinforcing bar component of the grille was a poor grade semi-gloss black.

Re: 1970 RS-Z/28 for sale
 

Does anybody remember the "Hurst" package on the 1970 Z/28 camaros? What were the additions made to the car to make it different? I remeber seeing pictures of a yellow car that was on some poster and I think it was used in some of the ads for Classic Industries years ago.
