I'm not sure about the ZL1 cars,but all Intimidator SS's have a block pad stamping with corresponding car number as well.Dale Earnhardt was an innovator with signature copyrighting and merchandising,enough so that when he passed away Teresa destroyed all the badging and related Intimidator SS items for fear of counterfit/cloning(sorry for the off topic)
[/ QUOTE ] Thats not off the subject at all. I know the two Z7D Phase 2X cars that we picked up from Berger last month had tags everywhere, the heads were dated and stamped with the machanics initials, but I didn't look at the block.. As for making a clone would be imposible to pass these days since everything is run by the Federal Government and computers, forging documents would intell breaking into CarFax, GMMG, GM, etc. to change a regular car over to a supercar.. Its not like the records that GM didn't keep from the late 60's - 70's on cars. Plus since there are so few of these cars made its impossible to clone this type of car.. I see no problem with this man taking his beat up vandilized car and turning it into something that he could be proud of..

This is still America isn't it?? If someone wants to paint his car PINK and write you guys are assholes on the doors he can.. Oh yeah by the way it is his car isn't it??? Mark
