Default Camaro Protecto plate question

I hope i am posting this in the correct location?
I am finally in the process of buying a 1970 z28 camaro and wanted to confirm if the protecto plate looks real? The plate does not have engine codes as i seen before. But it is still attached to the warranty card.
Does the image of the build sheet look real?
Thanks for the help!

probably a second owner plate that was made up for the remaining warranty coverage.

I've never seen a POP like that for a 70 Camaro but I guess it could be like Wilma said, made for 2nd owner while still under factory warranty.
I compared your picture of the buildsheet to pictures of others I have from known originals and it looks real, right down to the details on spacing, letters overlaping lines and oddball characters.

Thanks for the feedback on the build sheet
The name on the protecto plate is the same as the original owner and sales documents state and old titles. It just seemed odd no engine or axle data?
Does the protecto not add any value that its not filled out correctly?

I had a car with two POP's. The original owner lost his and they made another with just the VIN. Later, he found the original and I got both. They did put limited information on a replacement or second owner POP.

The buildsheet looks real & it appears under box D80 that your car came with the 3 piece COPO Spoiler.

Does the D80 mean COPO spoiler only?
It has the 1 piece spoiler on it and no signs of ever having the 3 piece spoiler?

There is no box D80. However, there is box number 80 but that's for some type of hose, not a spoiler.
The D80 shown at bottom of buildsheet is the same coding used for the standard 1 piece spoiler. Cars with the 3 piece copo spoiler had special hand written notes on the bottom.

Correct, I have three sheets from different COPO spoiler cars. There are multiple hand written items on them. If you think this is one, you can send me a copy of the full sheet and I can compare. If theres no hand written text, it probably is not.

I am more concerned about the protecto plate not having the motor and trans info i have not seen one like that and if the build sheet looked real?

Before i pay good money for a fake car. The car looks to be a very nice driver with no rust or repairs with original drive train but missing distributor and smog pump

The COPO spoiler D80 question just had me wonder if some change spoiler but from comments the car should have the one piece spoiler
Thanks
