Charley, that's what I figure also. I remembered taking some pictures in that area you are talking about, behind the vents. But all the window harware is in the way. But here they are for what it's worth.

I see that Charley. But you would have to hold the camera to the right more, then shoot at a more direct angle to see it. So it's not so straight back. Maybe shoot some more closer and angled. I would be curious to see ANYBODYS car of that area on one or both sides.....Danny

JohnZ, I have to say I did see a slight seam in your picture. However, your light surface primer and such is VERY consisdent accross that area with NO break. You can hardly see yours. Where as mine on the passenger side has a clear white line, with primer missing from both sides of it. Beleive me, I don't doubt all of your knowledge as most everyone on here forgot more then I. And you have helped me more than once. BUT, I gotta say I'm still scared until I see several pictures of 100% original cars, WITH somewhat of a prominent line. I also noticed on the outside of the car, a repair RIGHT IN THAT AREA. They didn't do a perfect job on the body work. That looks like the only spot on the whole car. I crawled all over that baby. Now the one side looks to be ok, and very similar to all of the pictures posted. But that other side is just to clean of a line for me. Thank you all for your time as always.

To answer some other q's... Car is 2 or 3 thousand miles or so away. I seen it while on vacation. Owner is probably 5th or 6th in line of ownership, and no contact info from prev. owners available. .......Danny

Well Guys, I really don't know what to think. I sent the pictures to a friend of mine and this is his reply. Maybe he is right, or wrong?

Affirmative. Its been quartered. But before walking away, determine why. Inspect the rail for signs of rear collision damage, if there is none, perhaps negotiate a price favorable to allow future replacement of the quarter?

So he seems to think it's been quartered. I am lost now for sure .......................Danny

Thanx Guys, Yes the drivers side picture ya posted looks pretty similar to the drivers side in the picture I posted. And how could the light rusting/primer area be SO Consistent on both sides of that seam? It's just less than an inch away on BOTH sides. How could that be? It looks so normal and original. And how could you grind that down without the grinding wheel drifting? Hech the wheel during contact is about what that seam is...... Here are a couple more pictures. Maybe Kurt or one of the guys can combine the pictures. Keep the opinions coming as I am dieing to know, AND to learn what it should look like. And where that seam IS on the outside of the car......Danny

I took some pictures of the trunk inside a 69' Z/28 I am looking at. So what is that white line. Is it a line showing sheet metal replaced? Does it look like a partial piece was put in? The drivers side looks less prominent right?...Danny

L78 Steve, you are thinkjing exactly what I said when I first seen this car. How the hell can you have all that extra stuff and not get at least the 55 or even the U-17 package. If I owned this car the first thing I would do is add that. When I am looking to buy, if it doesn't have a console/gauge package, I skip it. That's just my thing......Danny

WOW, I gotta say I had yet to see a tag like this. I learned something new today. Even a blind squirrel finds an accorn ONCE in a while! Thanx, fun as always. And Paul, thanx for always posting the link. For some reason, I don't know how to get that to work. Oh well, where's that accorn again............

« on: February 12, 2011, 08:56:20 PM »

This tag doesn't look correct. The letter's and number's have different texture and embossment. Weird......Also why is the "O" On Norwood crunched-in like that on the right side ? I have never seen an "O" Like that on NOR. It's on eBay and has a picture of the Protecto Plate and Build Sheet also. Plate looks right. What do you guys think?? .........Danny

Well thank you all for that. Gotta love the knowledge, fun to absorb it all in.  I thought for sure it was to clear something due to the excess angle. Oh well.........Danny

Anybody know if this coil bracket with the notch, is specific to 69' Z/28. I was told a long time ago that it is correct for a Z/28.....Danny

I mentioned long ago in one of my first posts...I always smell the paper. It has that certain scent to it that newer paper of course does not have. And the best way is to have it in a folder that is sealed or near sealed prior to the sniffing. But yes, the water spotting is a nice effort.
