Please take a look at this 69 camaro TT and let me know what you think. I think the TT is authentic but I am certainly no expert. The car was in the middle of a restoration when the owner/restorer died. Comes with it's original drivetrain and almost all of it's critical parts.
I know LOS cars normally had the vin stamp on the stamp pad. This one is a 2nd week of Dec built car. I've heard that there was a brief period of time when LOS cars were being stamped by the oil galley, can anyone verify this and the timeframe? Here are a couple pics, all I could take before the battery died:

TT looks good to me, too Dave.....although I am by no means an expert either.

I wouldnt be overly concerned about a LOS/VN tag since they dont say much, but then again they are being repo'd and would bring the rest of the car into question. I know very little about the non-X tags, but there are those that can spot the fake ones.

There are LOS/VN engines that were stamped near the oil filter, but not sure if there was any specific time frame that it was done so.

If the car is still original all LOS built cars had a buildsheet on top of the gas tank.

Dave has seen the build sheet and will photograph it shortly. This appears to be a Rally Green (black stripe), Rally Sport, Z28, M21, 4.10:1. Neat combo!
