Did the 1969 Z/28 story begin with this Camaro?

[x33rs]

I saw the car in person. Yes it does have some oddities. Enough that it makes you believe it's another clone. The data tag is missing etc... Rear stripes extend down under the spoiler, chrome air cleaner lid, and a lot of other little things throughout that isn't considered "the norm". I would also have expected to see an earlier smog tube setup on the driver side with the center port that I've seen on a few very early 69's???
William explained most of this in the other thread on this car that makes sense. The ZL2 setup on such an early car still remains a mystery though.
