'69 RS/Z, LSA Restomod

[scuncio]

Pretty car with cool options and, well, the LSA engine. Thoughts on the trim tag originality?

Not sure it matters much given the restomod. Not sure why a fellow would restomod a Z with original engine / trans.

Aftermarket rivets certainly causes suspicion.

Agree with William. Here is a close up of the date stamp from three weeks earlier.

I hesitate to post this, as TrimTags.com will likely correct the error. They are getting harder to spot.

Steve: if you think the hobby is better served without making this info public, I am fine with you deleting my post.

[RALLY]

Just my two cents but i am not a fan of the late LS Motors used in the 60-70s muscle cars. This Z would be better served with a clone 302 Z-28 Engine. Again just my opinion.

[Pro Stock John]

To each their own Rally. Plus those rivets look sus, it's probably not even a real z.

[Jonesy]

Lynn the tag is easy to spot if you know what to look for and its one of the newer versions.

[Too Many Projects]

The outline of the original tag behind the repro is a dead giveaway.
