Real?

That is what I thought. Thanks. I am not an expert on WS, but saw several mistakes.

And the POP?

This also a fake?

Ya know Lynn,I take back my earlier statement about the window sticker being 100% re-pop.
I realize now this is a 1968 Camaro,and was referencing it against a '70 model.
I think that WS is real,as there was a difference between those 3 years,and although I don't have many '68's in my database,I think it's real.

And the protecto-plate looks authentic too,based on the few copies of 68's I have.

If you have this car, it's a lot of fun to drive with those gears. Mine is set up the same way. I have a blast every time I drive it....Joe

I've examined, researched, and analyzed hundreds of original Pontiac window stickers (not generic PHS reproductions) in order to make sure all of my Pontiac reproduction window stickers are as accurate as possible. I'm a stickler for small details. I do NOT do aging.

Occasionally I get asked to look at a Chevrolet window sticker to provide my opinion as to whether they are real or repop. I don't analyze Chevrolet option breakdowns or specific formatting, but there are certain details regarding fonts, spacing, and other minutia that allow me to spot a reproduction Chevrolet window sticker quite easily. I have around 20 true original Chevrolet window stickers from 1962-1972, and around 40 reproductions, some aged, some not aged.

That being said, I am absolutely 100% sure that the Camaro window sticker shown above is a reproduction. I would rather not disclose how I know this, because providing this information on a public forum would just allow the people that create these aged reproductions to correct these details.

The addition on the top portion of the subtotal is not correct.

Wow, the addition of $90.25 actually removed $9.75 from the sub total.

Appreciate that Mike. Freddie, that was the first thing I noticed. Funny math. Maybe Jethro helped add that up.

I think there are several other issues as well.

Fun driving for sure. One of my best friends had a factory black 68 Z/28 (- - paint code) with 4.56 gears. Believe it or not he commuted to college one year in that car, abut 50 miles each way, five days a week!!!! I gave him a $100 deposit to buy the car from him in 1977 for $2000. I already had a black 69 Z (the one I still have) and thought it would be coold to have black 68 and 69 at the same time. Two days later I learned we were expecting #1 son. I still know where the 68 is. Belongs to another friend of mine who painted it red with white stripes.
