Re: 1970 RS 4-spd Z28 on Ebay
Fasten seat belt started in 1973.
The car looks so familiar. If it's the car I am thinking of there are a few things wrong with the car but still a nice real Z. I'm not sure but if this is the same car I think it has Canadian documentation as well. I'll find out more tomorrow. Rick H.

Re: 1970 RS 4-spd Z28 on Ebay
I think I have it in my '72 Nova SS.
Or maybe it is just a seat belt buzzer? I have to look on the build sheet.

Re: 1970 RS 4-spd Z28 on Ebay
I remember having to replace this panel and many other parts when an ex wife wrecked a 1970-1/2 Z/28 I had years ago. I remember that GM superceded the replacement part to the later panel with the warning light. If I remember right 1973 or 1974 was the first year that you had to fasten the seat belts to let the car start.

Re: 1970 RS 4-spd Z28 on Ebay
Any explanation why this 70 Z doesnt have rear bumper guards as ALL 70-72 Z-28's should and other Camaros with the VF-3 Deluxe Bumper Option........

Re: 1970 RS 4-spd Z28 on Ebay
Chuck,
As I said above I know this car very well and there a few things wrong with it. Such as the bumper guards, wrong dash, wrong tranny, different carb (original carb was in the trunk when I saw it) and a few little things BUT this car is a real Z. Obviously whoever redid the car forgot or didn't know what the car required. I do remember seeing the partial VIN stamped by the oil filter and it matched the car. I have seen some very high dollar 70 Z's being sold lately that are not quite correct either and this car is a good running driver. Oh yeah, (caveat) I am in no way associated with the selling of this vehicle I am just letting you know what I know of this vehicle because I have gone over this car first hand. Rick H.

[/ QUOTE ] If that's the case then where are the mounting holes on the lower panel for the lower bumper guard mounting holes? Don't tell us. The panel was damaged and replaced or the holes were filled in.

Re: 1970 RS 4-spd Z28 on Ebay
Given that we now have knowledge of a born with engine (VIN on bellhousing flange) it would appear that the $25K pricing might be a deal......and then fix all/any misc shortcomings..........
