Re: '69 Z28 EBAY
Original color? Partial vins on tranny and engine appear to match but would need better photos.

Re: '69 Z28 EBAY
Sam,
I think the engine stamp has the elongated 7 that you see in LA cars but the trans doesn't appear to be the same. That said, both stamps look pretty good to me on their own. Ed

Re: '69 Z28 EBAY
That VIN stamp(s) could be from any V8 camaro built in LA
It's the DZ I am concerned about |

Re: '69 Z28 EBAY
Some LA Built Camaros also have the crayon marking X-code on the rear seat frame passengers side, just below where it meets the horizontal package tray shelf.

Re: '69 Z28 EBAY
Wow that DZ looks like it has some fancy characters compared to every other DZ I have ever seen, however, I have only seen Norwood DZ stampings.

If the gas tank has never been removed, the Chassis Broadcast Copy <span style="text-decoration: underline">will</span> be there (Van Nuys 1969 Camaros only).

I agree. Engine is the key. I also agree the elongated 7 is consistent with other LA cars. Problem is that the partial on the trans doesn't have the same elongated 7. They would have been stamped about the same time with the same gang set up. One other complication: looks like the trans was hit twice. Perhaps the first one was struck so poorly, that someone tried to duplicate it at a later date. Should have left it alone. Also, doesn't the "1" cast in the tranny case indicate it was cast in January? If so, it is looking more promising. As for the DZ stamp, there is no difference between a Norwood DZ and an LA DZ. Both of those were stamped in Flint. It is only the partial vin that was stamped in LA or Norwood. I can't tell from that pic whether it is legit. I am betting that KurtS can tell. Also, although the ad says the engine was built 3/21, I can't make out the 3 at all. If it is really 2/21, that is a bit more realistic assuming they got the casting date correct. Car just needs some serious investigation. Like Charley says, it does have some great options. Looking above the tank would be a great place to start. Born with engine and trans would make it a pretty good deal at theat price.

Re: '69 Z28 EBAY
I come across a lot of Muncie 4 speed transmissions and double or even triple stamps are very common. That wouldn't scare me in the least bit.

Re: '69 Z28 EBAY
I had an LA Camaro that had three hits/stamps on the trans.
