Default Re: E-Bay '69 Yenko Disguised As a Z-28 Clone!

Camarojoe,
I want to start off by saying I do not intend on putting you on the defensive but why do you believe the body may be original to 616414?
Here are a couple of things that do not make it plausable for me:
If the firewall in fact was replaced because of an accident and assuming the subframe under the car is original to 616414, how do you explain that? I have seen many cars over the years and if a car is hit hard enough to warrant replacing the firewall, how does the subframe survive and still be complete and usable especially with the stabalizer bar still intact and usable? I don't but it. In addition to that, whenever I have seen a car that has been hit so hard that the firewall needed to be replaced, there is usually so much other structural damage to the car that it is just not worth fixing. I have been hit head on in a 69 camaro and there was damage to the firewall so I know what else is affected. It includes the subframe, floor pans, rockers, complete door jams and roof not to mention other areas. The accident theory does not add up and neither would rust.
Bergy has also stated that he has found ralley green paint on the back half of the car. Were are the photos? These would certainly lend credence to the claims but still would be inconclusive. I for one would like to see RG paint on the back half. It's as simple as looking under the filler panel. The claims have been made on RG paint so lets see the photos bergy. Thanks
