Lots of holes in this story. The first z28 was produced on Dec 29th, 1966, so for it to be a Dec car it would have to be one of the very first few made, which I highly doubt.
Then to have a Feb engine adds even more to question here. I would have to see a stamping and casting dates to believe he even has a Feb 6th, 1967 MO engine.

I would be suspicious of it. Not the norm. Which plant was it built at? That time frame at NOR should be down by the filter.

The 6618 block has a 1969 Casting date, its definitely a 69 block. The 9's sometimes look like 8's. 6618 block was only 1969 mid year. Someone brought this thing back to life.
I dont think its perfect but from where it was, they did a pretty good job. Agreed it has had some rust repair. Tag and VIN off the car at one time. I would not pay a premium for it, but its already at $55K and I'm sure the crowd at BaT doesnt care as long as it looks good.

Tag matches the VIN, most likely the original to the car.

So the Canadian docs support the color combo?? Or was the tag changed to support the color combo?

I thought you had a z28? Thats a nice SS396 tho. Did you find docs that supported it was a tech center vehicle?

Oh ya and thanks for doing the more picture friendly upgrade!!!

I just got a quote in mid-February here in MN for my 69 rear bumper and I got quoted $850 and a 6 month timeline to get it done.

I dont mind the price, but I was hoping it wouldnt be that long time of a turn around.
Its hard to find anyone close that does these.

I think I am confusing this with another Z that was built 04L. This tag is 01D and has the characteristics of a repop tag.
