No problem, here it is.



Like I said above I have also seen the L78 under the paint code like you would find on a Z28 tag.

All the 70 models I have seen have the L34/78 on the tag and the 71 and 72's have the Z27 designation. As proven here before anything is possible I guess.

I now see that the tag doesnt indicate that it isn and SS or a bigblock,so I guess there is no fraud here other then maybe a litle misled advertising.My concern was that there was a bonafide real bigblock camaro from that area on Ebay a while back,the ca was a brown with white stripe and tan interior split bumper SS/396 car and it was a rust bucket with no engine.I was hoping that somebody didnt yank the tags off a real car and sent it to the scrapyard.It doesnt look like that was the case.

Just another example that you can't really tell how or why they did things back then. It could be a different person's personal touch, could be the way a certain shift did things, who knows.

When I hear someone say "that tag is fake", what are they basing it on? All ready we have seen numerous ways tags have been stamped. How many other different tags will show up?

I find this very interesting and educational as well.

I agree Rick..I have a 64 Belair trim tag that was a Flint build with some accesory numbers out of order than what was usually seen...a number out of the normal position may be unusual but not impossible either.
