The radius at the top of those rear stripes does not look right. No black on the rockers either. Repaint?

Could be. I won't know more until it gets cleaned up. It is definitely old lacquer and I see no tape lines though.

as I stated earlier...it seems as though the stripe ends are taped and there is not the typical overspray on the stripes in the cowl area..and now with these photos, it seems the same in the trunk area..
does not seem original paint i.m.o.

I love the shot of the original POP and the fingerprints under the left edges of the tape. Run those prints and maybe you can find the dealership employee that originally sold it. (If he has a criminal record, of course).

Cool car!

If you have the time, you may want to lift the driver and passenger side carpet to see if the body broadcast copy is under there. The original owner of my 68 told me he found his when he lifted the carpet to install the drive shaft loop. Mine was a Norwood car however. Great car, great find, good luck!

Great find twin to my 02E LOS Z28. My serial number is about 4100 ahead of this car. One observation my car was not original paint when I bought it as the California sun beat it up. Was the truck lip painted with the stripe colour when a spoiler was factory installed?

Looks like a nice car and a great score to be sure. The painted trunk lip was the first thing I noticed on this set of pics. Of the factory spoiler cars I have seen over the years, I cannot recall any with a painted lip like that. Added at the dealer before initial delivery, yes, but factory, none that I have seen.
