Would it be unusual for an LA built car to be sold new in Chicago? Any rhyme or reason for some Chicago cars being Norwood cars and others being LA cars. Was it just supply and demand? Norwood is sure closer to Chicago than LA.

Same here D. I removed it a few years ago and the floor pans are perfect. Even the ends of the bolts holding the seat belts ae bright and shiny.
I think the charge to undercoat my car at the dealership was $23.50. And I agree, that looks like dealer applied undercoat.

I certainly thought so. My car was sold new in Decatur Illinois. Another LA built L78 70 Camaro was sold new at Fred Gibb's dealership. Not sure what the reasoning was behind it.

I need to remove the tons of undercoating on my new '70 Z28. It was a Florida rust free car, so I'm sure it will be amazing once it's off. Grunt work, though.

I won't buy your car without the undercoating so think real hard before you do it.

Jason has informed me that after looking closer at the piece of paper on the diff, it is a partial of a build sheet. I think he said parts of it were readable.

I don't think you can get a vintage car any closer to being new than this. -- it's remarkable that being kept in a garage for that length of time it has no critter or mice damage.
