Re: Stripe Delete JL8 Z28
Last January at Russo-Steele I spoke with some guy that said he bought a new '69 Z/28 with a Turbo 400. Other old tales include factory LT-1s, headers, cross-rams. I have little faith in what even an original owner remembers about a car they owned 47 years ago.
I would like to see backside photos of the grille, removed from the car.

Re: Stripe Delete JL8 Z28
So what you want is an environment where anyone can claim anything they want as original. No proof required.
Maybe I'm not as gullible as "the rest of us."

So many missed opportunities to learn new things and I see this car and thread as yet another missed opportunity. Research needs to actually accomplish "research". If you are not open to new developments and looking at cars that might challenge the existing norm then you are pushing a technical consensus ideology and that's ok--let's just not confuse the two.

Re: Stripe Delete JL8 Z28
Maybe there should be an attitude of healthy skepticism, but with an open mind as well until evidence and/or pictures show up so they can be judged accordingly? Scaring off someone who may have something that is different than what is known or accepted as correct now really inhibits us from learning anything new.
Just my opinion.

Re: Stripe Delete JL8 Z28
I do appreciate everyone's expertise and thoughtful insight. My intent was not to insult or question anyone's knowledge or their years of research but instead to perhaps add something to the pool on knowledge.
Re: "I would like to see backside of the grill, removed from car" I would be happy to take pictures of the grill. Exactly which area of the grill would you like to see?

Re: Stripe Delete JL8 Z28
Why on earth do you interpret my questioning his claim as a "missed opportunity?" I didn't dismiss this as crap. I requested the grille be removed and the backsides photographed. That may possibly establish once and for all how the car was built. I am completely open to leaning the truth here. As Mark stated it is healthy skepticism.
It has been established that a '69 Z/28 was built with red stripes. It has been established that a '69 Z/28 was built with an X11 body tag. It has been established that some '69 Z/28s were built with incorrect rear stripes. Why do you think the CRG exists Phil? Why do you think Barrett-Jackson employs one of our Core Members to examine cars consigned at their auctions?

Tom is back. Let's have a look at the car again shall we?
