BE rear found on 69Z??
I called a guy about a 69Z for sale and had him read off all the numbers. He claims he is the second owner and has had this car since 1971 and he bought it from his buddy and the car is 100 percent original. Its an X33 02B 72-B car.. He said the rear code was BE...how could this be? car is from NY..any ideas? could you order a BE in a Z/28 through central production?

Just a thought because I have done this.
Could you maybe have heard him over the phone wrong? Maybe he said "BV" which is a 4:10 Posi.,or another similar sounding code.

Buy the car, sell the rearend, replace it with the correct one and pay off a portion of your investment.
 Just a humorous thought. Rick

Re: BE rear found on 69Z??
Sam, I wonder if it was just a timing thing with supply and demand. A 4.10 posi rear is a 4.10 posi rear to the guy on the assembly line. I'm sure the paperwork would have shown a "BV" rear but maybe the guy couldn't locate one quickly so he grabbed a "BE" rear. I'm just guessing, but who knows. It could have been a warranty replacement as well. So where do you plan to store all these 69 Z28's?

Re: BE rear found on 69Z??
Double check the VIN/Cowl tags No matter if he says hes the 2nd owner and bought it from his buddy
Would not be the first time a COPO car was found dressed up as a Z28!!!
