Z28 in Van Nuys Trim Tag?
I recently saw an advertisement for a 1970 Z28 that noted because it was a Van Nuys build, it didn't have the traditional "Z28" stamped on the Trim Tag! I'm not a Camaro expert so this was news to me...is this true, is it only Nuys and more importantly, if true, why?!?!

I saw that too and wondered the same thing. He said it had the floor mounted gas pedal and other Z28 parts, but trim tag didn't say Z28.

Yep, it can be difficult to prove a Van Nuys Z28 without the original engine.

any idea why Van Nuys didn't follow suit with other Assembly Plants?

One thing they did at VN was often put the buildsheet on top of the gas tank which can be invaluable. Super rare to find that in a Norwood Camaro.

Yes no Z28 on the trim tag, mine has its partial vin on the front pad
and i must tell you that there are a lot of Anomaly's on that front pads partial vin that really show what you've got. Everyone I know that has a Van Nuys Z28 or L78 has one ore more authentic build sheets. |

My 72 Nova SS built in VN Cali had the build sheet on top of the gas tank. Pretty decent shape.
