Z28 2nd gen question

[Rick H]

In 1972 for the first time the rear spoiler was actually an option instead of standard equipment. The front spoiler would be included if your ordered the rear spoiler option.

So your car could have been one that was ordered without spoilers. That would account for the trunk lid not staying up with the spoiler on it. With the rear spoiler you got the heavier deck lid springs to hold open the trunk.

The car could be ordered stripe delete as well in 1972.

I remember someone telling me that the Z/28 emblem was centered on the deck lid close to the rear edge on non-spoiler cars. I don't have one but I think the 1972 assembly manual shows that.


Good luck with the car.
