NEAT!

Are the COPO Camaro 'BE' rears stamped that neatly? I know the '70 COPO Novas certainly aren't.

I have seen a few bogus stamps. The corvette world started falling victim to counterfeiters a few years ago. I am not saying that the rear is bogus, but, it is something to think about.

OK guys - - I am WAY outta my league on this, but most stamp sequences that I have seen (Mopars and Olds) are done with a stamp fixture. When you do that, you get even spacing, and ALSO it is straight all the way across. I'm by no means a Chevy expert, but that doesn't look like it was stamped all at once. It almost looks like each letter was stamped individually ??? Am I off ??

Marlin - when you say the Nova's aren't that neat, is it because they too are not straight, or is it because they are typically a very *light* stamp, and harder to read ???

Looks too neat and too crisp compared to my BE. Mine has grind marks where it looks to be stamped before and then restamped with the BE twice. It appears this was done at factory and I always wondered if another rear was converted to a BE. All internals are BE, date codes match, and this was discovered in 1984, before counterfeiting became common.
