The bracket that they did use you can see on the top of the frame. That bracket is for a power front disc brake car. That bracket should not be there on a JL8 car.

"Unique combination of options on a 53,100 mile prestine example of an original 1969 Z-28 rally sport."

Looks like tricky wording on a put together car to me. But a car car nonetheless.

It's a really nicely done car, but there is definitely conflicting options and time frames and with a P-O-P to match makes me think it was a built car with made up documentation. It's really hard to understand his description though. It says JL8 service package rear and then he says all numbers match the trim tag and P-O-P. So is it a non JL8 rear that matches the P-O-P and then had the discs added? Or is it a complete service package rear which wouldn't match the P-O-P? Nice combination of parts though.

If I were selling a real JL8 car with a protecto plate, I would have a closeup of the protecto plate with the rear end code. I would also tighten the nuts on the tie rod adjusting sleeve before taking a pic.

I don't know anyhting about JL8 cars, but wouldn't the fact he states its a "service package" basically be saying it was installed at a later date, rather than as a factory ordered option? These setups WERE available over the counter, correct? Seems to be he isn't claiming its a factory installation.

I agree. This car is obviously not an original JL8 car. It is a matching number car that has had the 4-wheel disc brakes added at a later date. Since the rear axle matches the protect-o-plate, you can not really even call it a "service package" since that axle came as a package rear end and had larger bearings, different axle tube ends, etc. He is being vague most likely in the hope that someone will step up with big money.
