I know that the broach marks can be done very well now. What I have seen people do is take a virgin block and stamp it. A bare block sold over the counter will have broach marks and no stamping. They are difficult to find. It would be best to compare the stamp to another 396 stamp with an ID number in the area of this one, if possible.
I do not want to cast a shadow on the car, it could help verify it.

No, I'd like to get it, but I've got way too many already. I do miss not having a convertible. I'm concentrating on getting my Baldwin done. I did just pick up a extra clean '69 Z-28 w/300 miles. Not a super car, but too good a deal to pass up. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

That has to be the lowest mileage Z28 on the planet.

Wow, 300 miles! Sounds like an interesting car What is it's history? It is amazing that someone had the foresight to keep such a sought after car "brand new", so to speak.

If you find a 33 year old car that only has 300 miles, either the speedo was disconnected or odometer rolled back or both. Sorry, just doesn't happen.

I went to a garage sale a few weeks ago and ended up buying two Honda minibikes , one with zero miles, still in the original shipping crate, the other ridden only once around the backyard, showing 0.9km. Both are 1970 models, 32 years old. And I know that some musclecars have been found with very low mileage. Never say never.

JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO I SOLD A 737 DOCUMENTED MILE HUGGER ORANGE Z28 TO SIXTIES MUSCLE. THATS NOT THE KICKER. THE CAR WAS SENT TO MOTION PERFORMANCE IN 74 AND 12,000 WAS SPENT ON UPGRADES. ACCORDING TO JOEL ONE OF HIS MOST EXPENSIVE CONVERSIONS. THIS CAR IS ONE OF THE BADDEST MOTION CONVERTED CARS ON THE PLANET.ALSO THE 68 PHASE III CAMARO MY BROTHER LOCATED FOR MARK H. WITH 10000 MILES. SO IT COULD BE TRUE.
