124379L528650 - Z/28 Barrett Jackson
 

Took a look at this car in person today. I’m no expert, but this cowl tag is not original, right?

I don't know about the tag but Daytona yellow always had black striping no matter the top or interior color...Joe

Yeah, they specifically said that during the restoration the decision was made to paint the stripes white to match the vinyl top. They were originally black.

Thank you.

03B car

That tag is a repop tag for sure and I wont say why buit whoever made it up doesn't know something about this build period at VanNuys.

Those are also not factory rivets

Thats funny the VIN does not fall in the 04C week at VanNuys either.

I would like to see the McNeish report as I cant believe any of this passed if he did look at it.

Agree. The ad acknowledges that fact: "Also during the restoration the decision was made to change the color of the stripes from black to white, which looks amazing."

Can you get in there with your phone and get a pic of the deck of the block? Would luv to see that.

FWIW, I have an LA-built car with VIN sequence ~230 before this car. Tag is 04A and NCRS Shipper Report states official production date is April 3.
Based on LA production output the car with that VIN should have come off the line 1-2 days after mine did.
Also not liking that trim tag, very interested to know what CHP report noted about the car.

I will tomorrow. I saw the stamping. Didn’t take a pic though.
Looks like it sold for a reasonable price, especially considering it was at BJ and some other Z/28’s went for significant dollars more.

Looks like it sold for $70,400

$64,000 plus 10% commission.

Just amazing that someone would spend that much on a car and not do their homework.

I saw the report. This car was certified.

There are font issues on that tag that do note line up with original tag font alignment. May be it was a fake certification.

04C

04C body sequence number should be higher ?
Not lower than the 03B ?

There is no direct correlation between the order confirmation # [aka 'body number'] and VIN. For the '69 MY, Norwood and Van Nuys were on the same system and the number had nothing to do with when or where an order was scheduled for production. There are enough variables to make it impossible to reverse-engineer: dealer status, allocations, location, equipment availability, paint color. Dealers also ordered far more Camaros than the plants could build. The highest body number I am aware of as of the end of July '69 is N3768xx. Numbering started at 100001 so that means 276,800 orders were placed but only 200,282 cars were built. Over 76,000 orders were never built. The practice continued through November '69 when production ended. 63,400 orders but only 42,390 cars built.

As for the body tag on L528650, I am confident it is a repro. Like early Norwood tags, there is no build configuration info on Van Nuys tags. Not considered during a certification process.

Agreed on body number. I still would like to see the report. Its probably fake too.

McNeish works for BJ and inspects Camaros on site, as well as helps with their descriptions.

Didn’t the traveling Z have white stripes with a luggage rack ?

And again.

The month and week seems incorrect.
Hhmmmm

And he does A LOT or work for Hendrick. So go figure...

Sold for $126,500. :shocked::thumbsdown:

Normal striping on a red 69 Z was black. My, however, has a white vinyl top, and so has white stripes. So would a yellow Z with a white vinyl top have white stripes?

Always black with Daytona yellow, regardless of the top color.
