Yes Kurt.
It's the TH 350 in my Pace Car.

My point is just that by stating some of the important information on the actual "certificate", it would be obvious immediately. Yes, a smart buyer should read the report too, but that is not always available, especially when someone is trying to hide something.

I agree, but my point is if the Certificate stated "Authentic Camaro Z/28 with Restoration Drivetrain" right on the front, maybe it wouldn't be thrown around and advertised so much.

Maybe different levels of Certification is the answer.
Like Certified Camaro Z/28 with Original Drivetrain, Certified Z/28 with Restoration Drivetrain, etc. The certificate could read differently based on what was found to be true during inspection. It would not be foolproof, but could help.

It sounds like somebody was threatened with a lawsuit here....or worse. I can't imagine why anyone would make up a story like this. I suppose if the new owner is following this thread, it might make sense for him to pull the cowl panel and look for evidence of a piece being welded in by the hidden VIN.
There's two sides to every story, but that would put an end to this thread.

Maintenance / Re: Replacement clutch

Hey John,
Do you know the part number for the clutch, pressure plate, and t/o bearing for this clutch?

For the normal street usage you describe, the Centerforce II (or a LuK replacement) would be a better choice; the Centerforce Dual-Friction is pretty hard on the flywheel and pressure plate surface.

Restoration / Re: 68' RS/SS Camaro front spoiler

I have a used GM for that car and it is black plastic. It has a GM sticker on the back but it is pretty much illegible. It has scuffs in places so if you are doing a show car, it's probably not for you. If you're interested, email me at dale@ameriken.com and I'll take some pics for you and you can decide what you want to do.

FYI,
I just ordered another one from Napa yesterday and picked it up today for $32.99 with the part number #501 on it.

In your picture, the nut nearest the motor mount bracket is in correctly, but the one up front is in backward.

I bought a rebuild kit from Napa about 5 years ago with the following part number on my receipt.
BPR - 20-120500.
The box which I still have says 501 on it.
Hope that helps.
