I went and looked at a 1971 camaro for sale and I could not believe what this guy had buried in the back of his barn, he told me he bought this car in the early 80s and it leaked oil badly so he yanked the engine and never put it back in, I saw original parts all over the garage, the intake, carb, air cleaner, valve covers,and such, he claims the engine is the original numbers matching engine and is going to dig it out, (he has quite a pile of engine blocks) the trans is still hanging under it, it didn't have holes in the hood for emblems so I am not sure if it came with the cowl induction or not, it does still have the rubber bumper jack and the correct rims still on the car,34000 miles, the 71 z28 also from berger was a project he had bought for his son in the early 90s and believe it or not he pulled the engine (non numbers)but the m21 is numbers and it has 4:10s original silver and black, i will have to keep you posted on the 69, just thought I would give you guys a look see, they are very cool to look at when they are still in there cave,

I am going to do all I can to buy the 69, I love the color combo and if the engine is the number matcher I won't be able to sleep,

Compare the 71 here to the other tag. Somedays they were sharp, somedays they weren't. The "1" and the "2" could be confused due to either the stamping or the photo. The paint looks original to me, but my first thought was the same as yours, is that a "1" or a "2".
Anyway you look at it, very http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif find. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/Can-I-Have-It.gif

sorry for the poor tag picture, the lights in the barn were poor so the camara wouldn't focus well, it is a 71. and trust me when I first looked at it I also thought it was a 72. It is a D80 car also, very hard to see with the poor picture....

Where are the 1/4 Grilles?

Yeah, X33 should have them. The stripes should continue over the nose,too. Looks like somebody painted it and liked it this way. Maybe replaced the 1/4s? No matter, you still need it! Great combo and I'd say 'real'.
