Default Ok Guys......Opinions Please

A friend of mine is interested in this car: 70 RS Z w/Air My opinion of the car is yes it could possibly be a real 70 Z w/factory air but unless you have some bullet proof documentation to prove that, it will always be questioned. What do you guys think?

Oh, and also if it was a factory job, would it have some sort of unique prefix for the engine build code?

I don't know about 70 Z28's but shouldn't it have a 12 bolt?

Looks like a lot of work...

As far as a Z28 with AC...I have no clue...though I thought they never came with it...the whole solid lifter-high revving engine reason...

It is missing everything a real Z28 should have except emblems, and they are in the wrong locations.

Yeah, just got a good look at the pics and you're right, not much correct there....wrong tach, etc. Looks like possibly a trim tag mistake, not about the AC but the Z28.

Correct. 73 was first year for air. 70 was first year for auto, last year for 12 bolt.

That car has been listed several times.

Not a real Z IMHO,

The car has been discused, and torn apart, here.
http://www.nastyz28.com/forum/showthread.php?t=105627
to summarize; Faked tag, and lacking all the Z stuff (8K tach, floor mount gas pedal, rear "bummper-etes", 12 bolt) and it shouldn't have A/C.
