Any explanation why this 70 Z doesnt have rear bumper guards as ALL 70-72 Z-28's should and other Camaros with the VF-3 Deluxe Bumper Option........

Chuck,
As I said above I know this car very well and there a few things wrong with it. Such as the bumper guards, wrong dash, wrong tranny, different carb (original carb was in the trunk when I saw it) and a few little things BUT this car is a real Z. Obviously whoever redid the car forgot or didn't know what the car required.
I do remember seeing the partial VIN stamped by the oil filter and it matched the car.

I have seen some very high dollar 70 Z's being sold lately that are not quite correct either and this car is a good running driver.

Oh yeah, (caveat) I am in no way associated with the selling of this vehicle I am just letting you know what I know of this vehicle because I have gone over this car first hand.

Just found out why.. bumper was hit many moons ago and replaced with another bumper and the bumper guards were never put back on.

If that's the case then where are the mounting holes on the lower panel for the lower bumper guard mounting holes? Don't tell us. The panel was damaged and replaced or the holes were filled in.

He probably didn't want to drill the holes and use those damn goofy retainer nutes...

Given that we now have knowledge of a born with engine (VIN on bellhousing flange) it would appear that the $25K pricing might be a deal......and then fix all/any misc shortcomings..........

I don't see any where in the Ebay ad where it mentions that the rear panel was replaced.

Maybe the seller doesn't know the full history. All I know is the car is real and to drill a couple of holes and add the guards is cheap.

I'm surprised it didn't get bid any higher. Looks like a nice car.

**Rick H** · #20 10-16-2005, 06:19 PM

Actually the car had met reserve but for some unknown reason the high bidder realized 14 hours later he had entered the wrong amount and retracted his bid. 14 HOURS LATER! Give me a break!!!!!

The way some of these bidders work is
