Title: Stamping Opinion
Post by: rocco376 on August 31, 2023, 05:52:45 PM
I know it isn't the best photo, but can anyone give an opinion on if this is a restamp?

Is that by the oil filter mount?

I thought the same thing.  It is under the alternator.

From that photo it looks ok to me but would like to see a better photo of the whole pad.

Thank you.  I will see if I can get something better.  I was concerned about the number "1".

Great question Danny.  The car is not close enough for me to look at in person.  Trying to get some more photos.

Please don't pull any punches.  I wouldn't want to waste 6 figures on a fraud.

Need better pics. No excuse for crappy pics these days, everyone has a camera on their phone. What about the rest of the pad? And rest of the drivetrain?

For 6 figures, they can provide real pics.
It's a reasonable stamp, but I want to see a real pic of the whole pad, in focus.

Seller claims that the engine, transmission, and rear end have "matching numbers:"

For six-figures - I'd pass.

Thanks.  They are getting drivetrain stamping photos tomorrow.  I will post as soon as I get them.

 The smooth area looks like peeling paint over a previously painted surface.

There is NO reason not to have good clear close-up high-resolution pictures. It's just not that tough to accomplish. SO MANY cars for sale with PERFECT pictures... THEN come the blurry Block/Trans/Rear pictures. ... Danny

The original pic they sent me is horrendous.  They are supposed to be sending the rest today.  Nothing yet.

For $101,000 I would want alot of things corrected on that car. Master cyl and booster are after market pieces. Rear springs. If those are wrong what about the rest of the small components that add up like distributor, carb, radiator, generator, starter, water pump, fan, cowl seal is upside down, radiator cap, goofy radio knobs, drilled holes in the dash to permanently mount gauges, etc etc

All good points.  If it truly is an original drivetrain car, obviously at the right price, it may be worth it.  However, the photos never arrived yesterday.

Shouldn't a January 1969 car have a tachometer as required equipment with Z28 RPO?

From the 1969 ID HyperTable.
http://www.camaros.org/diffs69.shtml

Tachometer was optional except for post-May Z28's.
