Decoding/Numbers / Re: DZ stamp opinion

I dont mind the partial VIN stamping, but the rest of it does not add up to original DZ early Sept 68 stampings. Only guys with numerous stampings of this time period would know what Im talking about.

asm69, does your car have the short spoiler?

Also take a pic from the underside of the lid to see if there are holes where the emblem was under the spoiler.,

I also see you say it calls out D80 on the build sheet?? Would this be the Chassis Broadcast Sheet?

For $101,000 I would want alot of things corrected on that car. Master cyl and booster are after market pieces. Rear springs. If those are wrong what about the rest of the small components that add up like distributor, carb, radiator, generator, starter, water pump, fan, cowl seal is upside down, radiator cap, goofy radio knobs, drilled holes in the dash to permanently mount gauges, etc etc

Paint looks good. I saved my original hoses. I will have to dig them out and see what the striping looks like. I have a VanNuys car 11B.

The 90's repop hoses were not high quality rubber. They would split at every connector. I still have them on my car. Not sure how the new hose kits are

That cowl tag is one of the newer reproduction cowl tags and not original to the car.

I think its azure turquoise as it only came with a black stripe unless you had white vinyl top. (I believe)

For my 69Z ralleys, I bought Krylon 1403 online about a year or so ago and it was hard to find then. I was really happy with the results. One thing I noticed it that the wheel codes around the valve stem were very readable. Most paints go on so thick it hides the codes, but not this paint.

I would definitely use it again and wait for it if I had to.

Chinese Repop Brake Booster!
Love the saggy material on the headrests. Seats are totally messed up with wrong covers on them.

So much wrong here
