Thanks for the replies. I will eventually get it down on how to post pics. Working on it.

The seller did not know if it was a genuine Z/28, and knew it was not a genuine RS, as he added the RS equipment. VIN is 124379N517816

Tim,

Thanks for the welcome.

Bullitt, he simply looked at it for a decent/not decent car for the price, and tried to confirm it was a genuine RS and/or Z/28. Could not say yes or no on the Z/28.

Thanks,

Tony

Decoding/Numbers / 1969 cowl tag

« on: December 03, 2019, 02:10:43 AM »

Howdy all,

New member here and wanted to ask a couple of questions about a car I recently purchased. I had someone more knowledgeable than me look at the car before the deal to get his thoughts on it.

It is a “69 RS Z/28”, but originally was not a RS car, and most likely not a Z/28, but a very tastefully done car in my opinion. If I am reading the cowl tag correctly, it is the correct hugger orange, (white Z/28 stripes) with standard black interior (now black deluxe). I think this is an early Norwood car from the size of the tag, which I read on here. I can’t seem to post an image of it.

There is a supposed re-stamped 302, Muncie 4 speed and 4.11 12 bolt in this car, but I have not had time to dig into this and crawl under it yet to try to verify anything. Is there anything in particular that could point to this being a factory Z/28? The only thing I can easily see that could help any is the small dual exhaust hanger plate behind the driver’s side rear wheel, but I guess this could have been added also.

Just trying to find a way to confirm, which I may never be able to do!

I bought this as a nicely done, but non-original car, so my feelings won’t be hurt either way.

Thanks,

Tony
