124379N604848 is on BAT currently, is CRG able to say what the docs are for this car? does it prove it to be an original SS?https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1969-chevrolet-camaro-ss-42/

VIN:124679N635234

I was curious everyone's thought on the is 69 pace car, and if the car and tag looked legit:https://www.gatewayclassiccars.com/vehicle/lvs/1072/1969-chevrolet-camaro

So is this different than Jerry, Brad, Larry, or are they also on hand ?

I have seen these individually stamped rear ends as I have one myself. Jerry initially could not verify it to be original, but as more time passed and more were observed like mine in the same time frame, he did acknowledge my rear to be original. I knew the rear to be original since I knew the original owner and his family and the full history of the car (a ton of docs and history from new), and I was not selling the car, so while concerning initially, I just knew with more time and more discovery the truth would come out. I have now seen many examples from researching mine, I would assume the same will hold true for you as I think yours appears original imo.  Just be patient and let the research catch up.

Very cool find. Thank you

I just checked mine. Yes the measurement is the same.

here is what I have found on the car:https://historicracinggroup.com/grimaldi.php

Well I don't have a #34 associated with the car with what I have found. The first pic you posted shows the car with rocker moulding and a drum brake rear end. I am pretty sure Skip Barber was the first person to race the car and it had the J56 (rear disc)HD rear already installed at that point.

Actually researching more it appears Grimaldi rolled the car and actually rebuilt it, though it was not advised. It looks like it had a good amount of success into the 70's :https://historicracinggroup.com/grimaldi.php

And it is in museum now as "Old #80"  :https://www.nemsmuseum.com/articles.html?n_id=591

Jon, is there any other known pics of Skip Barbers 1968Z ? The rear end pic is great, but it would be great to see more of his car or the set up. I am told the car was eventually scrapped out. thanks

I sent the Dealer a heads up with a link to the production VIN page. Lets see if he follows the link and realizes the tag is a fake.

Correct Jim you beat me to it.

Just a 158 before mine (124379L503829). I am surprised it would be the 6th Z off the line though, since my car is a 10B, and I thought they had been making them for over a month at that point. I wonder how he came to that conclusion?
