Thanks guys it seemed too nice and made up to me. The guy has it all mocked up to look really nice but that's it, doesn't run or even have front springs installed. He claimed it was all original sheet metal, but could tell it had qtrs, trunk and even a tail panel installed. I asked him if I could remove the back up lights to see the original tail panel cut outs but he would let me. Here is the link http://cleveland.craigslist.org/ctd/4949767386.html. I searched google last night and all he does it mock up the cars to look good them sell them. He was a really nice guy but I'm looking for a few really nice 67-69 Z28's or RS/SS 396 cars.

Non-original RS backup light holes do not indicate it wasn't an RS. My real Z/28-RS had the rear body panel replaced as did many real RS cars.
Learning more and more about less and less...

Correct but he was claiming that it was all original sheet metal. That's why I wanted to remove the back up lights. My brother 69 Z still has the original tail panel so I had an idea what it would look like. He also didn't have the headlight switch or any of the RS parts other that a grill that looked new.

Heres the tag that was on it in 2003.  Nuff said.

If this is indeed a fake tag and the car is being represented as something it's not, shouldn't this guy be reported?  That would be a fraudulent sale, and from what I'm reading here this guy has done this several times.  There are (or were??) laws about this stuff....
Not questioning you guys at all, I'm just wondering how he gets away with this and still has 100% positive feedback, or why he's not locked up in the clink.

The repro tag is one of the better ones I have seen.  Would have fooled me!

That guy sells a lot of Camaro's. He likes to photograph them at that summer resort area, Geneva on the Lake OH.

Looks like he found the HDR button on the camera!

Outside of it maybe having a trim tag from a former life lol.... Seems to me like maybe the seller is sending out a feeler to see what holes "the community" will shoot through it, so he can fix it. Two obvious ones that aren't easy to fix, and im not telling or maybe we should just lay it all out there and cost him a few thousand to correct.... well, in short,  avoid....
