Default 69 Chevelle L78 Buildsheet opinions

I'd like to get opinions on the codes and fonts on this Baltimore built L78 buildsheet. Do the codes match what other Baltimore cars have with these options?

Thanks guys.
I wasn't sure if maybe it could be a good fake.
Does anyone else have an L78 that is a Baltimore car with original buildsheet?

I was thinking the same thing, but I believe this build sheet is from a car that is currently for-sale; the build-sheet trim and paint codes do match what is stamped on the trim tag and that is a decent start. It would be nice though to see the vin on the upper right corner.

Since this is potentially an L78 car, I'd probably try to verify the rear axle code in relation to the build sheet.

This must have been an awesome car when new. Build sheet does look pretty legit to me.

What is the standard axle ratio for an L78 Chevelle if it is not called out on the BS? Also would it not be unusual for the buyer to select the stock rearend ratio if he selected the higher performance close ratio transmission?

The body number on the build sheet also matches the trim tag. Looks like a great car although the entire original drivetrain is missing.
