My 02A doesnt have the blackout on the tank. Its definately the original but its possible a previous owner could have removed it.

Both my VanNuys 69's have original gas tanks. The straps are black.  I know my 11B RS/SS had the blackout. I always thought this was painted by a previous owner. My 02A Z28 has a pristine gas tank dated 25 69 with the updside down backwards 5. The tank looks like new from what I recall. Broadcast sheet was retrieved from it before I owned it, so I know its been down.
I will go in the garage and check this out now. Never knew this was a thing.

The pad stamping looks reasonable to me. Would be itnering to see the whole pad. I would think the partial VIN would be stamped on it in this timeframe.

Both my 69 Van Nuys small block manual trans cars were offset 32 degrees. Original driveshafts. Pretty normal on First gen Camaros.

Those dates on engine and trans are certainly possible for that VIN range you mentioned. Do you have pics of the engine pad, trans case and rear axle tube stampings?

Originality / Re: 69 Center axle bumper - two styles?

I see on the list there is 06? VN. That cant be as the last week at Van Nuys was 05A.

I have 2 Van Nuys cars, both with original axle bumpers still in place. Build sheets for both

11B L48 push in
02A Z28 push in

X33 and X77 were definitive Z28 production codes. Therefore they are Z28's
Z11 was only applied to Convertible pace car, therefore its an Indy Pace Car Convertible.

X11 is a style trim code. Many different models could have this. So its harder to define "what is was originally"

If an LA built Z28 with completely legible tank sticker showing proper codes designating it was bulit as a Z28, its a z28 even if its missing its original engine.

Totally my opinion. Im done

Yep that tag looks like it got hot. I got NCRS docs on both my LA Cars. My one, 9L508474 is close to yours. Im sure they will have it.

Get a pic of your rear axle tube stamping. its stamped on the passenger side, forward facing surface of the axle tube.

If it has x33 or x77 still on the factory installed cowl tag, its was born a Z28. I guess I dont see it any other way.
The more components its missing, the less the value. A bare body x33 or x77 will bring more than a x11 body IMO.
If a Z11 pace car is missing its engine, its still a Z11 Pace car.
If an X66 Yenko Camaro is missing its engine, its Still a Yenko as they have the list of VIN to verify it.

To say its not, makes no sense to me.



The BaT example is an X11
