1968 RS Z-28 info needed.
 

A good friend of mine passed 11 years ago and his wife contacted me about helping her sell his 1968 Rally Sport Z-28. I looked the car over the best I could in the trailer its stored in, no documentation, color change. Motor is gone, it has a 12 bolt looks to be new replacement 4 leaf rear springs, no factory gauges, 4 speed speedo cable original matching number Muncie, 4 piston power disc brakes, engine mounts are missing, how can I tell if this car is a real Z-28? I have the trim tag info. He did collect as much correct 1968 302 parts he could find, almost a complete correct motor but not original to this car, he did not find a MO block but does have a DZ block which I know is a 69 block. I told her to sell that block separate. What's that bare block worth?

Does it still have the original front springs? What does the front spring tag say? Do you have a picture of the tire pressure decal in the glove box? Axle code?....Joe

I was not able to get the car out of the trailer the day I looked at it. After I left I thought about the tire pressure sticker. Most likely the tag is gone from the front springs but you never know.

Not likely - but just in case - try GM Canada Vintage Car Services in Oshawa Ontario and run the VIN by them to see if it is on their listing of Canadian sold/delivered cars on the chance it has all of the Canadian documentation available for the car - you could be lucky and hit the jackpot!
