Gary, understand, that some people are perfectly content going through life in the SLOW lane. Bullitt may just be a little fearful of ALL that power a H.O. affords, lol

846th Camaro after mine. Would love to see the body number to see if it, the body, was built before or after mine. The front spoiler looks wavy.

Reading his vehicle description made me dizzy. It reminded me of one of those foreign emails that ends up in my spam.
I am a sucker for a HO car though.

You know I am on EBAY 24/7 and saw this car soon after it was posted. The story of some blocks being stamped and some weren't seems suspect without a professional inspector being able to say so and back it up with factual cars showing the same info. He says the engine is original if it wasn't than a CE block would be in there??? What if Joe Smoe swapped out the block for another 302 like 95% of all the other restored Z cars out there? He doesn't say anything about that.

Another X77 car with X33 trim, no vin pic, no trim tag pic, (wavy) spoiler car but rear deck stripes incorrect.

So at this point all I can tell is it looks like a 69 camaro, but based on the description and pics, I couldn't for sure tell you it is even a real Z, let alone an orange one.

BTW I have been in Jacks orange Z, which was quite nice, and a looker. Orange just isn't a must have for me. I sought out a original Garnet Red Z, and got exactly what I was looking for. If I bought another Z I wouldn't rule out orange, the originality would speak to me more though.

There may have been some blocks that got out of the factory without the VIN being stamped on them, BUT I suspect there are many many more that do have the VIN stamped, but the owners haven't been able to detect it (as yet).. the stamps on the rough block casting surface are extremely difficult to see/read even in the best of conditions, and in a car, it's practically impossible...

well not being able to make out the VIN, and a story about some of them leaving without it are 2 different things to me. it COULD be legit, but no pics of the tags, made it more suspect to me. I don't have the Rose Orange colored glasses on, sorry
