EBAY Z11.....Z10
« on: May 23, 2017, 03:37:04 PM »
Surprised nobody has mentioned the Z11 on ebay, that is really a Z10. The owner "somehow" got the wrong trim tag?
Hopefully you have logged both Z11 and Z10 tags as well as the vin.  Is there any info on these cars?

From the auction:

Quote
I ALSO HAVE THE REFURBISHED TRIM TAG SHOWING IT TO BE A Z11 PACKAGE.

Should be: I ALSO HAVE THE REPRODUCTION TRIM TAG SHOWING IT TO BE A Z11 PACKAGE!

And 124379N594443 was assembled in early February, 1969. The Z11 tag shows a build date of 05A - NOR318214 - and the Z10 tag shows a build date of 04C - NOR312824 - so neither belong to that car. I would also be willing to bet the Z10 tag is a repop too.

Vince, that second tag you posted above is from the wrecked 2004 GTO. (removed by Kurt)

The Z10 Camaro trim tag isn't shown, but it reads:

ST69   12437  NOR312824
TR 720       50   50  PNT     
04C                     Z10

Agreed, the seat are notable and rarely seen.

Neither the Z10 nor Z11 tag is an original. As Ed noted, neither match the VIN.....

The vinyl almost looks too bright to be original covers. Maybe it's my computer. I'll post a picture later to compare....Joe

Looks really bright on my monitor too! From the black head rests and the black backs, maybe he took black seats and recovered them in yellow.

Have you seen original yellow seats vs the repo covers?  The repos are almost mustard yellow..  Those are originals IMHO..

So the deck lid is painted yellow on the underside, but has a band of rust or surface rust along the outer perimeter. What's the cause of that?

Here's a picture of an original versus a cover purchased from CARS in 1995. The original on the right was removed from a car early in life. It will be used in mine next time around....Joe

To me, the one on the left looks like the one in the auction, but really, since the car was built two months before the Z10 was even available, it's all (as Joey Tribbiani would say), kind of a MOO POINT!

As the owner of a yellow/yellow z/28 that I restored, the seat covers in the pics appear to be repro covers from PUI.
They are bright yellow and are not even close to the original yellow that came from the factory.

I took a piece of the original material under the bottom of the door jamb windlace that was never exposed to light and sent it in to a company in Canada to have custom interior dye made. I then dyed the new seat covers and the new Al Knoch door panels to restore the original look. Very time consuming but it looks great.

Here is a pic of the back seat bottom with the correct color and the top back in the PUI yellow before dying.
