That would be Jerry McNeish, The Camaro Research Group and everyone else in the hobby that knows '69s at all. Standard grille on a non-RS Z/28 was molded in an off-white plastic, the entire front painted argent [silver]. In production the outer circumference was painted body color. Plenty of survivor Z/28s around with silver grilles.

Have the car judged and the grille will be deemed incorrect.

SWEET!!! So glad this thread found you JL8TOM, quite a car you have there. Welcome - I hoped it would make its way to you so we could find out more about such a rare Z. Any more pics you can post?

Hi William,
I have to disagree with you. This car was delivered with a black molded grill with outer circumference painted to match body color. Please note this is a " -- " paint code stripe delete car and has headlight washers, could one or both of those been a factor in the black grill. I have been in touch with the original owner and will reach out to him to see if he has any recollection regarding the black grill. I can with all certainty say, this car was delivered with a black grill. Jerry's book is a great resource, but it's the one bit of information that is not 100% correct, I have proof positive parked in my garage.
