Some cars not having an air cleaner decal is fact, not "journalistic embellishment." The 09D Van Nuys '69 Z/28 Hot Rod magazine tested in the January '69 issue didn't have one either. The only ZL1 [#5] photographed back in the day also doesn't have a '427' decal even though Chevrolet Engineering docs specify it. The Olympic Gold Yenko photographed when new shows only the 427 crossed flags decal; some L72s also had the 425 HP label. Some L72s had no labels.
