The abundance of Ziebart.... Was this a normal practice? all that overspray?

Yes it was. They could trash the engine compartment on a new vehicle. And it only delayed the total destruction of a new car that was winter driven here in the rust belt.

Was it indeed Ziebart that actually applied the undercoating?..I don't see any signs of their trademark yellow Ziebart plugs in the jamb areas.
If not them,did F-T undercoat it and what was the charge?

I wonder if Doris knows she is being stalked on the internet by strange men-for a door ding that happened so long ago. She has the potential to be a superstar on this site, maybe her own kissing booth at Vette Fest.

Incredible car, you couldn't make this up- no one would believe you.

My car (LA built) is also heavily undercoated. I don't think it was Ziebart either. Perhaps they sprayed them all that were heading to the midwest?

Undercoating may have been done by the selling dealership too.

Post factory applied undercoating for sure. A lot of cars had it done.

The owner of my car remembered the guy (by name) at the dealership who applied the undercoating. He praised him for what a great and thorough job. I plan on removing it, but 9 years have past and its still on the car...argh !

And thank god my car had it or it might not have survived.

Would it be unusual for an LA built car to be sold new in Chicago? Any rhyme or reason for some Chicago cars being Norwood cars and others being LA cars. Was it just supply and demand? Norwood is sure closer to Chicago than LA.

I certainly thought so. My car was sold new in Decatur Illinois. Another LA built L78 70 Camaro was sold new at Fred Gibb's dealership. Not sure what the reasoning was behind it.

Same here D. I removed it a few years ago and the floor pans are perfect. Even the ends of the bolts holding the seat belts ae bright and shiny.
I think the charge to undercoat my car at the dealership was $23.50. And I agree, that looks like dealer applied undercoat.
