One thing I thought was odd. There is no under hood insulation on the car. Original owner says there never was any! Are there other known cases of 70 Z’s not having hood insulation?

Hood insulation was part of the Z27/SS package and cars with the Z87/ Deluxe interior. According to the judging manual hood insulation has been found on many standard interior Z28’s too.

According to the 1970 Camaro Specifications doc, hood insulation was included if equipped with Z87 Custom interior or standard on all SS models...so your car is correct without the hood insulation.

BTW, this is the section from the general specs that addresses the hood insulation....
