Title: 10 10 Paint Coded Z/28
Post by: dannystarr on October 04, 2015, 05:07:35 AM: Rare color as we all know. I wonder if it is all legit. Looks like the car revolver from that RK place. The people that REFUSE to post pictures of pertinent info. Never seen a cowl tag so BURIED with paint/goop. Can't even make out the numbers/lettering. Might be hiding something? Is this car in the DB ?.. Danny

Appears in 'SOLD' category on RK Motors site:
http://www.rkmotorscharlotte.com/sales/inventory/sold#!/1969-Chevrolet-Camaro-Z-28-RS/132965/167269
VIN search also indicates car sold at Mecum Kansas City on March 29 2012.
Looks as though the grille surround isn't painted.

It still surprises me that what appears to be a high dollar resto, would still have the deck lid edge painted incorrectly. I am not saying this car is 100% correct, but you can see the decklid edge is incorrect from 20 feet away.

Post by: dannystarr on October 05, 2015, 05:33:55 AM: I also seen the grill emblem to far to the left. And a few other things are there I'm sure. I just wonder if she is in the DB and what we know about her. Kurt will jump in soon... D

Post by: firstgenaddict on October 08, 2015, 04:02:39 AM: The rear stripes are WAY too close together besides being on the decklid edge...

Please don't use all caps. It's like yelling.

Either spoiler was added or that's not how it was painted by GM.
Grille should be silver. http://www.camaros.org/exterior.shtml#1969Grille
And block is restamped, IMO.

Post by: Jon Mello on January 27, 2016, 02:13:48 AM: I had a February built '69 Z from the LOS plant that I owned back in the '70s. Pics from the original owner showed the car in his driveway brand new with no plates and the stripes ran all the way down the back lip of the trunk lid under the spoiler. I saw a fair number of other LOS Z in that timeframe with the stripes done the same way. I don't think what applies to Norwood Zs can be absolutely applied to LOS cars and this stripe issue deserves a closer look. I do agree that the stripes on this black Z are too close together for a January car. In the first couple of months of production it's true that they were closer together.

It is possible but I don't believe so. I saw many other LOS Z/28s back in the '70s with the stripes on the back lip and I doubt they were all dealer installed spoilers. I think this deserves more attention and research.

Post by: KurtS on January 28, 2016, 06:12:33 AM: Interesting. I've seen a lot of original paint cars go through ebay and show up on forums and I've not see stripes on the back lip with spoilers.
Process-wise, it would have been easy to do.
