Fake 1971 Z28 on eBay. Beware

[Rick H]

Some one obviously added the trim tag to this car. Maybe it was the A/C that gave it a way. DUH!

Plus a list of other wrong things.

What was the first year for AC on a Z car?

[Rick H]

1973.

1973 due to the change from solid to hyd lifters along with a lower HP rating. I have been told by a reliable source that there was a 72Z with factory A/C, but I didn't actually see the car.

I've never seen a 1972 Z/28 with factory A/C. Then again I 've never seen a 1971 Z with factory A/C either. That is unil I saw this one. Must be super rare.

I've seen a '72 Z with air, way back in my youth at the Stan Hywet show in Akron, Ohio. Auto trans. That was (at least) over 10 years ago-- It's possible it was a clone as well...

I said that I had been told of ONE 72Z with A/C, and that was by MadMike who runs the NastyZ28 board. I recall him telling me about one that he had seen with the "L" coded VIN, dentoting a factory Z28. As I said above, I never saw this car, but I would consider the source very reliable.

All I was just saying was that I have never seen a 1972 Z/28 with A/C myself. All information I have ever seen or read says that A/C was not available in the 1972 Z/28.

I *thought* it was a "T" in the vin for z28, at least in 73 I am sure it is.

[Gregs396]

After viewing the auction, I noticed a few other items. It does have the rear swaybar along with the rear bumperetts as a Z28 should. There is no sign of factory A/C inside the car at all. I would almost think that someone decided to add A/C to the car, but who knows. The tach is also wrong, so the dash assy could have been completly swapped out.
