70 RS Z28

Don't get me wrong the car is sweet but there's no dum dum in the rivet holes,definitely been off at one point then this one leaves you a little less confident-

"IT WILL BE UP TO THE BUYER TO EVALUATE AND DECIDE IF THIS CAR IS AS AUTHENTIC AS WE THINK IT IS. STARTING FROM THE TRIM TAG, WE BELIEVE IT IS DEFINITELY THE ORIGINAL TAG BORN TO THIS CAR."

Does that allow for a rebody? I love a good game of hide and seek,but no docs no dice for this kid at these prices-very kewl color/interior though.

I have seen 2nd gens with out sealer in the holes. My 72 doesn't have any and I know the tag has never been off.

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.

Mark,
Do you have an axe to grind here? The trim tag has no apparent issues based on the pics as well as my opinion! The adv, seems to be up front and honest and even welcomes inspection?

Why would you throw around the "rebody" issue even if the tag had been removed? I see no evidence of this from the listing.

As far as the location of the VIN stamp. Since both the trans and engine have a vin it wouldn't be much work to compare a rubbing or digital pics. I have seen them on both locations, with by the oil filter more prevalent.

There is nothing wrong with the trim tag.

There is nothing wrong with the partial VIN location either.

There is however a few digits missing from the pad VIN stamp. No Chevy digit (1) and no year digit (0). The trans is stamped correctly so the block should be as well.

The car is still very nice and the word "rebody" shouldn't be in question at all.

Enough said.

The Z-21 style trim included in the RS package should have body color door handle inserts... this one doesn't.
Fit and finish of the hood and stripes is fair... just to add to whats been said.
The Yellow looks like multi shades to me. Could be the glare too...

Nothing like that at all,I think it's a nice car and have alluded to that in both posts.The rebody thing was tounge in cheek(hence the grinning icon) since there has been a plethora of posts on here regarding rebodies,trim tag swaps,ebay banning of trim tag sales etc etc.I just find it amusing the first thing the seller addressed was the trim tag being original to the car-I've seen thousands of auctions and that's the first one ever I can remember where someone has VOLUNTEERED the legitmacy of a trim tag in the auction,followed by "no paper so don't ask" I guess the Oliver Stone in me came out but one could make the statement the guy does not know for sure that's why he put that "believe" disclaimer regarding it- and with all respect the tag looks like it has been off the car,never said it wasn't correct.Stefano,when you had your hugger car for sale on here I had nothing but praise for it while others were taking stabs at the drivetrain originality- Peace out

When did the cowl tag code switch to including the "Z"?

My 04A car just has 28.10, no Z.

The car looks correct except for the missing rear bumperettes, air system, air cleaner snorkels, wrong fan shroud, and alternator/water pump pulleys. I can't tell if the car has the correct floor mounted accelerator pedal from the pics given. The car may have been hit in the rear. A rare combination of options though.
