Nice one to start with. Good color too! I would like to see the "in process" pictures as you go along if possible.

I like it. Z-28's are rare cars in 1972 because of the strike. Something like only 2,800 cars, making them the second rarest Z's after '67's. Last of the M-22's, last of the solid lifters and LT-1's.......they are the last of a breed. Hydraulic lifter'ed L-82's followed in '73....just not the same.

How are you sure it has a M22 in it?

the casting #'s on the maincase, extension housing & sidecover casting... and the C represents m-22... and also the plug bolt on the side i believe...

Looking at the underside I knew it was an LA car judging by the amount of undercoating. Nice car. About time you posted pics..

no joke! i had a friend looking for a 72z distributor and all he could find (and not even restored!) were 1600-2000!

FYI all 71 and later Muncies had the drain plug ... they were all fine splined input shafts too
do not rely ONLY on the fact that it has a drain to determine what the trans is

Excellent car to play with!! I tend to be a little partial to that color combo on 2nd Gen Camaros myself (currently halfway plus through my silver 73 Z resto)....
Quick question for you guys:
In one of the pictures I believe I'm seeing what appears to be a GM parts tag (perhaps on a fenderwell?) with a little undercoating on it. Does that mean that whatever part this tag is on has been replaced at some point in it's life? Or has anyone ever seen a GM parts tag installed on an original unmolested car? Just curious...... Charlie
