1970 Camaro Cowl tag question

[leach]

I was reading on a couple sites to decifer cowl tags on 1970 Camaro and it says that they are different from the Los Angeles one and the Norwood ones that the Norwood ones show the L78 on them but on the Los Angeles ones it does not show that car I am looking at is a Los Angeles one 1970 SS/RS L78 car and does not show on the cowl trim tag L78 but seen build sheet on car and saw numbers on the matching drivetrain all match is this true?

Barry,

Could be.. Have any pictures of the car or the Build sheet?

Pretty much sums it up. No L78 or Z28 codes on LA Tags, only norwood tags.

Look here for more information:

Post a pic of the build sheet and the engine stamps here and I am sure that someone can tell you if they are real or not.

Good Luck!

The tank sheet is real, but at a glance, I don't see the 375 hp on it.

Look to left of rip hole it has 396/375

Not a big time expert, but I don't like that engine stamp.

If you are in the market, have you looked at Darrens for sale on this site and NastyZ28? It is very clean and a well known car, and can be had for $15,000 less than this car. And it's BLUE! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Barry, I looked to buy that car a few years back and was told avoid, avoid, avoid as the previous owners were known re-stampers and shady characters. And I am almost 100% positive that 396-375 was NOT on that build sheet when I looked at it, and it looks like the same sheet.

Darren's is the safer bet.

Do you mean that the guy selling this car is known restamper or was the guy he bought from a restamper. Also do the numbers on motor not look like originals or were they restamped?
