Here are the Pics

I thought I would post a few more photos

Well gentlemen here is the latest update, as I stated earlier I sanded down an area by the trunk to look for original stripes and found grey primer over zinc chromate and then paint. I surmised that there were no original stripes however it appears someone repainted the car when they removed the vinyl top....inconclusive ID from the paint. I looked at the rear seat bulkhead a little closer and found what appears to be a yellow 7 (photo attached) I cant make out anything else.

I did check behind the seat but I don't see any crayon marks, but if they weren't putting the x code on the cowl tag yet would they write it behind the seat?

I thank all of you gentlemen for your assistance, it appears that I have YH wheels on the back and FW on the front. I sanded where the original stripe should be between the trunk lid and rear window and do not find evidence of an original stripe. I don't know what I have, maybe a SS Camaro 350?  In any case, someone went to great lengths to make it a Z. I think I will take Williams advice and build a hot rod....any input on a crate motor that would be most desirable in the build?

The car according to the cowl tag was garnet red with a red interior and a white vinyl top, the car is currently red with the stripes. I am planning to sand the trunk lid and hood to see if I can identify the stripes on the original paint.

I appreciate all of the advice, I took Williams and bought Jerry's book. I looked at the rear end #3894860NF and the axle code is BL1130G2. I am trying to find part numbers for the springs does anyone know where they are located? I did not get the original engine or transmission with the car so I can't use those to identify the rest of the car. As far as documentation, I only have the title. The steering is manual and the pittman arm is correct for a Z/28.

I have recently purchased a 69 Camaro that I believe is a Z/28 but I am having a hard time verifying. If it is truly a z/28 then I would like to try to find the appropriate DZ 302 engine. I have it disassembled and on a rotisserie. The VIN # is 124379N507846 which according to my research is pre x code from the norwood facility. The car has 4 rear leaf springs, factory dual exhaust mounts on the frame, a 12 bolt rear end, a single fuel line to from the tank to the engine compartment, front disc brakes which all seem to be in order for a 69 Z/28. Is there some way to positively identify the chassis as a Z/28? What build date DZ 302 engine should go with the car? I am trying to determine if it makes sense to try to build the car to original specs or if I would be better off installing a crate motor. Any advice would be appreciated.;

Thanks
