Not a Camaro guy, so is a D80 called out on an 02B trim tag not possible?

There is other things on that Trim Tag that show its not a "real born with Trim Tag".

I believe Webco is going by what the owner of the car is telling them. They simply did what the owner of the car wanted. Hey if the owner wants to dump a ton of money in a clone,so be it..

Wheather it is or is not a true phase III, We were still happy to be part of the build. It is an awesome car that is balls to the wall, looks and sounds great!! The owner of the car is extremely pleased and people love it at car shows. I was simply explaining what we know about the car and how it came about. If you like the car, awesome. If not, then that is your own choice. And thank you Jrinehart!

Carleen would you explain what all is wrong with the tag? I know that they changed to X code mid year but honestly figured they could have done a few earlier. The more knowledge the better. Thanks

No

The "D80" did not appear on trim tags until late May of 69. Also, the P-O-P is a fake. It's a good looking car, but not sure why the owner or previous owner would make obviously fake tags. Just call it what it is, a nice looking BM replica.

Spent a lot of money on the car, and it looks nice, but put inexpensive, $38.00 universal fit, late model, Lakewood traction bars on it from Summit.......period correct, heavy duty Traction Action ones are out there. There is a pair on ebay right now.

These clone cars, and some real ones sadly, need to tone it down on the Motion decals. Motion decals everywhere, wheels, rear end cover, engine compartment, glass etc.

Reminds me of a ice cream cone dipped in sprinkles and the sprinkles in this case are Motion decals....

Sometimes less is more...

The windshield inspection decal is a Bob Hoyt repo. #1920745 number on the decal.Those decals are made very nice and are accurate.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: webco 1</div><div class="ubbcode-body">The block with casting 272 is the original 396/375hp L78. I still have the motor at our shop. The original engine that motion put in the car, I was told, threw a rod and destroyed the block. The gentleman that owned the car previously rebuilt the original 396 and installed it back in the car with a tri-power setup from a 67 corvette. The current owner wanted to switch it back the way it was and this is why we installed the L88 that is currently in the car. And yes, It runs extremely well!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] Any questions, feel free to ask. I do not know the full history of the car but I did see several documents on this car being a phaseIII. Unfortunately, the current owner had the car at a restoration shop several years ago and the owner of the restoration shop got in deep with his buisness and lost everything. All the documentation was in the shop owners posession when they got shut down. The car owner never got all of his documentation back. I know this because this is unfortunately the old restoration shop I worked at. </div></div>

Did a guy named Rich own this car??
