Thoughts on this '71 Z28 RS

[ohhawk]

Regarding the gap in time issue for the red Z. I've heard from two other people that there was a strike during this period of time as has been mentioned earlier in this thread. I've tried to find something in print to verify but haven't had any luck. Could well explain the 4 months.

I've heard that strike info as well. The more famous strike was in 1972 when the entire F-body model year was scrapped after a strike that began in April 1972 and lasted til September 1972. Only those Camaros and Firebirds that were built and delivered before March '72 got out.

Here's the info I have on the strike.

That's strange, they mention the 10-week 1970 strike but totally avoid mentioning the 6-month Norwood strike in Spring '72 that killed the model year for the 72 F-Body cars, and almost ended the entire F-body program.
