The owner of the car has a fellow coming by my shop to " certify " the car as original . Any idea what he will be looking at ?

Just curious, do you have a name of who the "fellow" is that is coming to certify? If they are a true first generation expert I assume they will be checking to see what all is factory original to the car such as paint, original sheetmetal, interior and especially the drivetrain numbers. Checking dates and part #'s on items such as distributor, carb, heads etc. Also confirming the VIN and hidden VIN's for match, checking the trim tag to see if it is the original with correct paint, interior, build date compared to the VIN, possible X code (depending on the build date). Checking to see if all the typical factory Z/28 assembly items are there, dual exhaust, correct leaf springs, tach red line.
The list goes on and on....

 Well unless he is an Expert in First Gen Camaro's its unlikely he would be able to "certify" it as a Z28. First is drive train stampings, real or fake ? Trim Tag real or fake. Hidden Vin does it match the dash VIN. Does it have the Protecto Plate or any other documents and can he tell fake from real ones. You would have to ask the Experts here and post all the pics they want to Verify all the parts as real Z28 parts.

Firewall stamps , I had posted a picture of the fuel tank a few weeks ago and gave a little history . The original owner was just out of Vietnam and purchased the Camaro as a left over in late 1970 . Ran it at Englishtown here in Jersey for fun but it wasn't an every day driver . Parked it around 1985ish and has sat till now mostly in a garage but has spent some years outside also . A friend has purchased it and after a little work I got it started . All numbers that I've checked match numbers and dates , seems like a time capsule  to me .

When I asked in my post who the "fellow" was that was coming to certify, I was hoping that would be the name. You guys are in the best of hands! He literally wrote the book! Jerry certified three of my cars a few years ago. It was a great learning experience and he is a super nice guy. Let us know how it all went along with more detailed pics of the car when you can.
