"Numbers Matching does not promise or guarantee originality of the engine"
At least they are being honest.
The VIN stamp on the block is way to readable due to the smoothing of the rough casting.

Couldn't agree more Steve - my 69 block VIN is barley readable due to the roughness of the casting. It is completely unlikely that the block was ground smooth at the factory like it is on this one.

Exactly. The DZ block I have is only readable for a few digits. Which is good in my case cause its not matching but date correct.
Any block as smooth and readable as the one in question must be suspect.

I also have to agree, my L48 from May is also very rough with a section of casting flash ground off, but not nearly as clean as this Z

Interesting dates - ordered March 4, built April 21, sold May 22.
Dealer Order Form looks like it's dated March 4 68.
Wouldn't be the first time someone wrote the date wrong, but in the 3rd month of the year?

I noted that too. I don't question the docs - but I would call Warren to confirm.

That's not the dealer order form; that's an in-house pricing sheet they gave the customer. The dealer order form was a green serialized Chevrolet generated form that had no pricing on it. The form number was 6 alpha-numeric characters that were used for tracking. The number was also on the confirmation form and the window sticker.

Interesting William. So what is the 'Order Form for Chevrolet Dealers' that is filled in by hand, more like an order confirmation for the buyer to take away?

Yes, that's the take-away for the customer. I'm not sure if the customer received a copy of the actual dealer order. They were faxed or mailed to Central Office. If a dealer sent a number of Camaro orders and they were immediately confirmed they usually had sequential confirmation/body numbers. That had nothing to do with production scheduling; cars were not built in body number order.

If it had been just sold at Yenko with no mods I wouldn't really see any extra value but according to the paperwork it looks like Yenko added some cool stuff. If it had gotten restored with those Yenko modifications I would pay more for it than stock. Too bad it didn't. Just kind of a mess under the hood.

Just for your information my 1969 LM1 numbers matching has the vin location ground down before they stamped the numbers. Very easy to read and the engine had never been out of the car until I took it out to rebuild it.

KurkS has all the information on all my Camaro's. I think it is a LA car built in Dec. I will check and let you know.

Wow, poor car got ripped to shreds, lol.  Firewall tag looks good to me so at least we can say it's a real Z unlike the other 50,000 out there for sale.
