Not sure about the sticker, but my car was ziebarted 2 days after purchase, and I have parts that have overspray on them, that look like that.

Dealerships would up sale the undercoating when the car was new..  My fathers 68 was undercoated from the dealer..  They lived in Ohio close to the lake and salt from bad winters in Mentor so it made sense..

Also, sure looks like it is showing WAY more use than 2 weeks. If it got taken off 2 weeks after purchase it would be beautiful.. Should be way cleaner than that. Looks more like 10 years.. D
Yea, further inspection reveals that this is not suitable for a high $$ nice car Chick.  Tell your friend to send it to me. It would look right at home on my low $$ beater BB!? 8) ;D ::) Probably this unit is good enough for a H.O. car?

That diverter valve is not the original. The decals weren't used until the 70's.
This is most interesting Kurt as I know for sure the guy who had this bought the car new.
Danny, you got to be kidding!

My X77 was undercoated by the dealer in Nashville - stated on the invoice. I'll have to dig out the '68 invoice - seems like it was, too - also a Tennessee car. Common thing for the dealers to offer around here, even though we didn't have the road salt then like we have now.

Anyone ever spot a date code on a diverter valve ? I've never seen a GH sticker, but the rest of the unit is phenominal. Love survivor parts like I do cars -

To clarify without arguing. Look at the inside of the pulley belt groove and face, and condition of the zinc screw heads. This unit sat in a 3 car garage (no temp control) for 36 years. Yes, dust and cob-webs accumulated along with some very minor rust from humidity over the years but this unit could be easily cleaned up (not restored) and utilized on a restored car or for a survivor. The aluminum is outstanding as I have a pair of 69Z/LT1 valve covers purchased in 1970 (box dated 1/70) and they do not look as good and were never on a car. I placed these pictures in so people could review for now and in the future.

Thanks for posting Chick. Your pictures are great historical documents. You & Skip could have chosen to just keep your survivor information to yourselves. It's generous of you to take the time to share it with the community.

 Sort of a sore spot. When #1 owner got in touch with me a few years ago, one of the things he mentioned was how he had justgotten rid of the smog system. Had been up in his Mom's garage all those years. On one hand would be nice to have on the shelf, other then that I honestly doubt I'd ever hang it back on the car.

Z was undercoated at dealer, my complete exhaust was dropped soon after delivery, still retains quite a bit of overspray. Other then lite surface rust on the pipes, great shape, butafter almost 50 years of sitting up in garage attics, it doesn't look like it was taken off the car 2 weeks ago, lol.

Are you going to install that exhaust back on the car when finished?

Thanks Bruce! Yikes, 46 years it sat in that 3 bay garage, not 36..... :) Oh, and loved your picture of that orange 429. Know you will let me drive it. LOL......
