Awesome car! I can feel your pain about non-conforming examples. I had a 1969 Z11 Pace Car a few years back that was a Zone show car with every option on it (excapt a big block). I even had original owner photos from the day he bought it that showed the non-conforming pinstripes around the main orange hood and trunk stripes. The gap between them was the same width as the actual pinstripe, which was noticeably different than the blue-print proportions put out by Chevrolet. That got debated quite a bit and I even lost points at a judging for it. But in the end, it didn't bother me because the orignal owner was the true judge of how the car was at the time it was deliverd as he was the ultimate witness to its status in 1969.
