Default Re: Fake Z/28 tag alert

Although it is hard to reach any stable conclusion from a photograph, I tend to agree with Rodger that the tag has not been removed. How then to explain the wrong color interior, faded carpet with automatic and matching brake pedal? After thinking on this for a bit, I had to remember that as far back as the late seventies I as well as many others were already rebuilding and reassembling these cars. Many times two cars became one. The original Z could have been stolen and stripped, or a multitude of other situations that would have left a bare body, along comes another Camaro with black interior and auto trans that may have been smacked hard enough to not warrant a repair, next thing you know someone handy with tools and knowledge and a budget and two cars become one. I assembled a 73 Z in exactly that way in 1981 with interior color change, when finished the car looked new, but I bet today 22 years later it looks like a faded worn original. This would be my best guess on this car, truth would be known by pulling the carpet on the tranny tunnel.

I think if you are selling a first gen Z/28 you should explain in the add why it has an automatic, wrong interior, wrong pedals, no bumperettes, a brillo pad scrubbed cowltag without even a minor scratch on the firewall from hitting the edges and a host of other questionable items. The add is not saying much and it should...either he dont know or he should explain better..

I agree, but remember that some people dont put near as much value on the cars as we do.
