70 z28 on ebay blue blue

I have about 40 pictures of this car from the last time it was up for sale which I believe was about a year ago. The pictures I have show the engine when it did not have the smog system. The speedo picture I have shows 49,118 on the odometer so this car hasn't moved much.

I also have a good picture of the VIN stamp on the pad and if I remember correctly it was a major discussion point because the first number looked like a 7 instead of a 1.
I for one do not believe the story about using a broken seven as a one.

Here's the picture I have of the pad. You be the judge.

My LA built '70 LS6 had a 7 instead of a 1 and I believe this topic was discussed somewhere before...it is seen on some LA cars, but I have no idea why??? I've never seen the large and small font mix on any car before though.

My Van Nuys stampings look near identical to this Z28's...

I'm surprised no one else brought up the build sheet... one of them looks very faint to me...

It was sold new in the state of Missouri,so NA-9 was not necesary when it was Built at Van Nuys.
It does show an NA-9 provisional on the buildsheet,which was typical.
Nice Car!

Dan,
I remember your VIN stamp having a larger 7 but what about the one (1) at the beginning of the stamp? Was it curved like this one?

It looks like Van Nuys had a several different styles of stamps. My '70 Z has a small seven and a large three in the VIN pad stamp.....identical on the transmission. Look at the two different fours in the same VIN in MosportGreen66's stamp.

If you look at the pics in the link the seller provides. There may be some rust issues, look at quarter seam with rocker panel on the driver side. If i am going to spend that kind of money it better be perfect. Just my personal opinion. Roger
