Back to the ZL-1

1. Has anyone EVER given and explanation for the original tag being removed?

2. Have yet to see a pic of the "reproduction" trim tag.

3. On the other thread, there was a statement re: a body shop owner finding date codes on panels that were "much later" than the build date. Did anyone looking at this car at the auction note any date codes on panels?

Lynn,

The Camaro body that was at the body shop to be painted lemans blue had the ZL1 # 48 serial # stamped into the cowl and firewall but had no trim tag or vin tag. That Camaro body had june '69 dates.

The vin plate rubbing, cowl vin photo, firewall /body photos, Georgia bill of sale and Canadian customs form were all given to the body shop owner by the registered owner of the car/cars in question. The Camaro body/primered firewall in the photos we'll call tribute/clone attempt # 1. That car most likely is not the version that went to auction. The auction car we will call tribute/clone attempt version # 3 if the bodyshop painted June '69 dated body is version # 2 and was not used? All we know for sure is that there are two different vin plates that exist and two different body vin stampings, all supplied by the same owner.

Both versions of vin stamps and vin plates have been shown on these threads.

Besides the fake trim tag Lynn, why two VIN tags? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/bs.gif[/img]
