Scammer might be a strong word. Opportunist for sure. Especially when the internet is so vast a simple google will lead to sites like this or CRG.

Gee, I've never charged to help with a broadcast sheet....
He missed some important details but was at least in the ballpark.
Never mentioned the axle date - 3.31 would be unusual in a Z.

He couldn't find a rear brake pressure regulator valve. Not supposed to be one on an early Norwood car if I remember correctly. So, he is not as knowledgeable as he thinks he is. My early Z does not have one, but my July built car does.

No bowl vent on the Z/28 carb.

And he didn't bother to date the DZ carb or the rear axle as Kurt mentioned. But I guess all in all he seems to be pretty much in the know. He kept mentioning how things could be looked up on the internet and I think we all know he's spent a lot of time on CRG!

I didn't get past this exaggerated statement.
"Discover the unparalleled rarity of the 1969 Camaro Z/28"
Guess he's never heard of the '67 Z quantity.
