WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH THIS CAR ANYONE KNOW IF THIS IS A REAL SURVIVOR ?

[resto4u]

looks like someone sandblasted the trim tag and wrinkled it, rivets might not be original. terrible unfocused pics.

Not an expert on window stickers.....could experts chime in?

It may be a dealer-exchange w/s; it is not the original furnished with the car.

Since it surfaced about 20 years ago it has always been questioned. Earlier VIN than the first Yenko Camaros.

I'm not an expert by any means but I did find out an interesting fact on window stickers when I bought my survivor 69 Impala which had 'A' window sticker with the car when I bought it. All the OEM stickers applied at the plant had a rubber stamp of the last 6 of the VIN after the first typed 7 numbers. If by any chance the window sticker was destroyed in route to the dealer, say by the transport driver rolling down a window, then the dealer would contact the zone office, I believe, and another window sticker would come in the mail. The dealer would just reapply. By law the dealer cannot remove this, only the buyer. It really is hard to say if the sticker is a reproduction or a retyped zone office piece, way to blurry. Here is a pic of mine if there was a way to compare them.

Anybody know if this dealer is still in business?

Too bad the TT is out of focus, and no pics of stamps. Sold for 180k in 2013 and now selling at no reserve??

I beleve that is a dealer typed windw sticker as there was previous disscusiion whether or not SS rims were an available option at that time frame etc,or whther the dealer added them. I do have something off that car! I also have warranty booklet/papers folder with the dealer name on it somewhere Im sure if Ed documented it there are absolutely no issues with the trim tag unless something happened after the fact. My old ls5 cheevelle was from this dealership.

Evidently i have 2 cars mixed up....

Sorry, I was just showing the window sticker from my Santin Chevrolet Impala for comparison of the COPO window sticker. My bad. The dealer badge on mine looks the same as your pic, I'll have to check it.

Gary,
Not all factory window stickers have the VIN stamped on them. Multi-division assembly plants typed the VINs, IIRC.

[GaryC]

Hi Kurt. I did not know that. Warren looked at the window sticker for my 69 Impala and confirmed it wasn't a reproduction and JohnZ stated that about the zone office sending the dealer a replacement if one got destroyed. Curious if the WS I have 'IS' the original then for my Impala. Any idea how Tarrytown did their's? Kind of curious now.
