Not that it really matters but whats up with that wire loom bracket? Is that gobs of weld holding that on or is that just rust bubbles under the paint?

There was an Antwerp built 1967 Z28 here in Sweden that was supposedly built with an automatic. But Antwerp cars are different.

Anders, they didn't make any Z/28's in Antwerp. And as far as I know there aren't any 67 Z/28'z in Sweden.

Janne, the guy who told me he had a 1967 Z28 built in Antwerp is a VERY competent Chevy-man, but I guess he could fool me any day.
If it was ever registered in Sweden, how would you recognize a 1967 Z28 just by looking at a VIN in the register ?
You know more about Antwerp cars than I do, but how can you say that no Camaros were assembled there with Z28 parts ? Just a few years ago even the experts in the USA said that no COPO Camaros were built in L.A., but now we know that some were built there. The same apply to Kansas-built COPO Chevelles.
I´m just trying to keep an open mind.

This car is being discussed on Camaros.net and Kurt from CRG has determined the cowl tag to be a fake. f.y.i

What a great piece of &quot;documentation&quot;. The idiot who heated the plate originally stuck to that back page couldn't even do it without burning the paper, and still stuck the new plate to it!? The protecto plate says nantucket blue, and the cowl tag says deepwater hmm.. Maybe Mr. Bonkowski can clear things up for us [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/bs.gif[/img]

They only made basecars, specials were made in Norwood or other plants if it wasn't a Camaro. The specials came in through Antwerp and got the Antwerp trimtag but it kept the Norwood tag. Several examples of that on SS cars.

So if it was a 67 Z/28 it was going through Antwerp as a special. And it wouldn't have had an auto trans.

There was a magazine claiming a Swedish Stock Dragrace car was a 67 Z/28 30 years ago, I think I've showed you that one.

Janne, could they have changed the car to an automatic in Antwerp ? Or maybe it was done by a dealer, who knows ?
A friend of mine who lives in Värnamo had a 1971 Antwerp Z28. I can´t remember seing a Norwood tag on that car, but it was probably there. This was years ago.
Yes I remember the dragrace car.

I don't think so, if it had an automatic it would have been changed by someone else, and as said in another post, it would have needed a high rpm stallspeed converter. Not fun to drive on the street.

1968 was the last year they put American cars together in Antwerp, after that they were only imported and in some cases got extra equipement added, like sunroofs. So that '71 would have had a Norwood tag on it.
