Agree, pics would help. Ive been watching this thread trying to figure out what you all were looking at.  I've got my 15,000 mile original seats out of the car right now so could take a look and shoot photos to add to this thread.  09D late car.

Thanks William.  So would a black 69 Camaro built after January have "--" on the trim tag?

Since everyone's default is to assume it's fake, please evaluate this trim tag and provide me your thoughts.  Car is non-original engine, so no validation hope there.

Looks great!  I always appreciate the work people go through to make things right.  It might be the photo angle....are your relief cuts for the wheel housing slits or V's?  Should be V's.

Once the spoiler became standard equipment on Z28's in April of 1969, did they drop the D80 designation on the trim tag?  I'm looking at an 04C Burgundy Z with spoilers - no D80 on the trim tag, just X33.

Gotta love California cars.....this car is the first time I can say that I like the dark green interior - just seems to work well with Champagne - pretty car!

This was on my 15,000 mile 1969.  Different part number than posted above.  Can't swear it's original, but sure looks the part.

The presence of broach marks alone shouldn't correlate with being authentic.  Machines like the ones that put the broach marks in at the engine plant still exist today so those marks can be reproduced accurately.  I was offered that service when I had my engine sourced.  I passed intentionally to avoid a future re-stamp forgery.
