Looks like someone installed a Z11 water pump on the car. Cool.

Beautiful car!

Got a question... you couldn't actually get the dog dish caps on a super sport, right? Wasn't it SS wheel covers, or optional simulated wire wheel covers ONLY if you were ordering the SS package?

If you ordered the 15&quot; tire option you got the small hub caps because they didn't have any 15&quot; full wheel covers. The option price for 15s was lower for a Super Sport because they factored in a credit for the unused SS wheel covers. The optional wire wheel covers were available on any car.
This one has a few owner added/incorrect pieces but it looks nice.

Was the deck stamp checked?

Very cool. Now everyone can enjoy a Z11 water pump without paying $1,000 for one.
