I joined the Camaro Research Group on October 17, 2005 in an effort to obtain information regarding my 1969 Z28 Camaro. I wanted to verify that the 1969 Z28 that I
had purchased, VIN #124379L505424, with approx. 55,000 miles and no documentation was an authentic Z28. The engine block was a CE block and had some after-market parts. The drive train was original as well as most of the remaining vehicle components including the interior (except the steering wheel). I began to read posts and engage in spirited discussions. I also began to verify the parts that the vehicle came with had the part numbers CRG which indicated the parts would be in a 1969 Z28. After verifying all that I could, I came to the conclusion that the Z28 that I had purchased was an original Z.
There was still some doubt, however, since I did not have any documentation and the car did not have all original parts. Then on July 20, 2015, Kurt Sonen sent me an email stating “Alan, Your lucky day. Your Z's docs have been found and were just listed on ebay”.
On Friday July 25, 2015 I picked up the documents from David N. who listed the documents on ebay. This day was the day that my orphaned 1969 Z28 Hugger Orange Camaro with 79,224 original miles was re-united with its birth documents (i.e. Factory Invoice, Body Build (Broadcast) Sheet, Chassis Build Sheet, haul away truck company Shipper Form and GMAC Dealer Trade Letter) and now was no longer orphaned, proving that its pedigree was a 1969 Z28 Camaro.
Thanks to Kurt, Warren and David N. (who recovered the documents); my1969 Z28 Camaro has been authenticated.
