70 RS Z28

We need Rick H to critique this one.

Nice Car, I see it's got my fan shroud from hell on it. Poor Dual Snorkel.

[GM-26]

The car is definitely different.

[Rick H]

There is nothing wrong with the tag on the car. VIN matches build date.

There are however some small items that are wrong. Alternator, water pump (could be a mistype), fan shroud, master cylinder, wrong shifter and knob, radio is wrong, should have slide on top for AM/FM selection, no rear bumper guards. Since there is no numbers for the carb and because the way the PCV hose is routed I would say it's not correct. Bunch of little incorrect items but the car looks good.
Missing smog would be expensive to correct. Wrong exhaust (but how many really have the correct exhaust).

You could pick on it for all the small stuff but the car is nice. It even has the correct and they look like the original fenders.

Vin # on the block should be stamped down by the oil filter in the rough.....

I agree Phil, 1970 Norwood should be on side. 71's were on the front.

I have seen the VIN stamped in both places so that is really not an issue.

BUT look real close at the VIN stamp on the block. See anything missing??? Anyone? Anyone?

I don't see anything in front of the N (shouldn't there be a "0") and you can see the partial VIN isn't straight in line so the numbers look to be stamped individually. The engine code stamp looks ok but the partial VIN looks like a restamp.

[redbaron]

Should it have the year number before the N Rick?

1)Has it been determined on THIS Yellow Norwood Z-28 that it has a 10N5xxxxx VIN number stamped on the Bellhousing Flange to match the alledged 10N5xxxxx on the transmission.
2) Has it been concluded that more than a few other Norwood 70 Z's had VIN # stamped on eng deck. I will ask most of the other 70 Z judges and "experts" at nastyZ28.
3)WHY would a born with eng with VIN stamp, NOT match the VIN stamp configuration of the Born with Transmission......IF in fact they are done with same stamping tool??????
