Original Paint '70 Z Project

[scuncio]

Looks like a clean start - original drivetrain, original paint, etc....

1970 Camaro Z/28 Original Paint

Should be a build sheet on that gas tank.

----Probably not a big deal but am I correct that the spoiler was added? Somehow the pictures make the spoiler appear to be located too far back. Nice solid ride to start with though!......Bill S

If this is an original paint 70Z with tall spoiler then this should be a COPO car, correct?

Is it odd that an NB2 equipped (CA emissions) car would be sold new in OK? I know both Norwood and Van Nuys produced the 70Z with the NB2 option, but only for the CA market. is this a case of dealer-transfer or just an od anomaly?

[CamarosRus]

Has it been stated anywhere that the engine was born with the car and that the VIN # is stamped on deck of block ???
(EBAY ad show "L" in partial VIN, which is ALL I can SEE so far)

Has anybody SEEN the Trim Tag, VIN Tag, L.A. Build sheet ???
(L.A. Z28 W/O build sheet and born with eng (block deck VIN) = NO WAY to verify

I've never read/seen a L.A. mfg 1970 Z-28 sold NEW by Dealer (not in state of Calif) that came with NA-9 (Calif Emissions)

Nice car but fact remains that R/S & 4spd is more desireable ($$$) than straight bumper & T-400.

I've written the EBAY seller with above questions....................

Ive now spoken with uncooperative seller on the phone. He was offended that I dont believe
anything/everything is original. He expects bidders to bid based on his EBAY history....

Not MY intent to call anyone a liar. As many others on this very knowledgeable website, we
like to SEE/READ proof/evidence before we buy.......

Also has no rear bumper trim pieces (bumperettes). He should at least put a picture of the body tag and block and head casting numbers.

[CamarosRus]

seventiesshow......great point about missing rear bumper guards.......................

pictures show 6500Red/8000 Tach, Floor Mounted Gas Pedal, Control Arm Bump Stop Extensions
but these other issues/points do raise interesting questions.

Seller has arrogant attitude about not showing eng vin, eng assy date, trans vin, rear end code/date
Never has looked for or found all important L.A build sheet (L.A. 70 Z's had not stamped code on TRIM TAG)

Will be interesting to determine if 70Z mfg in LA, sold new in OK came with NA9 option (WHY ?????)

Appears from his feedback that he flips a lot of cars. Not a good sign when combined with that attitude.

Didn't he also have that red 69 camaro with a bare ZL1 block in the trunk for sale? Called it the famous "Mexican ZL1"?
