Perfect! It's always great to hang out with you, Larry. I still need a ride in the Formula, too :headbang:

Yes, all three of the Z's had the stenciled numbers on the mufflers as did the Gold '70 LS6.

There were 5 cars that appeared to be owned by the same seller. They all had the same windshield lettering. I found it interesting all 5 had muffler stencils, the extra stickers for something, lots of paint dabs, and stuff I have never seen before. Also, the X-Ram cars sold for much less. Dunno.

Yes, the LS6 and at least 3 Z's were the same seller. Could have been more I don't remember. Were they over restored? Sure. Were they nice? Absolutely very nice cars. More importantly they were all born with drivetrains which many put so much emphasis on. They were all certified as such and it's obvious the people liked them. They all sold pretty high despite the colors. It was thought the desert sand on the LS6 would hurt it a bit but it went high anyway. And who would of thought a green Z would outsell a red or blue Z. I may be bias since mine is green but that's an inside joke with Bill.

I honestly don't care if mufflers have stenciled part numbers or not. If ya don't like it I can give you a rag and some lacquer thinner and take care of that in about 3 seconds :)

Hey Bill, I'll put a stamp on my muffler if ya want. Does that up the price? Lol

Curiosity got the best of me so I looked up the number on the GMWIKI. Looks like it is for the driveshaft. I do like the car though. Reminds me of a deceased friends car back in the 80's. His was non-RS but with an Endura bumper. Black Deluxe gut. Wish I knew where it went.

Here's some more pics for amusement. I'm not knocking the builds/restorations. The paint and details in general are excellent. Some issues noted was pitting on the subframe and control arms weren't properly repaired, cowl tag and VIN tags were hard to read, but overall all three Zs and the LS6 were nice clean cars in my opinion. They should not be construed as factory correct restorations nor Legends grade cars. Made-up tags, PNs, dabs, graffiti, etc. I'm really not sure what to call them - nice custom restorations?

Only concern is that others will replicate all these dabs, tags, and graffiti and think its correct, which will generate arguments and challenges later.

It is interesting that the Fathom Green RS Z went for nearly 2X the Garnet Red and LeMans Blue Zs. The seller definitely knew his customer base and built the cars accordingly.
