Can you explain what this means?

"The cowl tag reads 72 for the paint code, which is a dead ringer for determining an SS car for those of you who don't know."

"dead ring"

All I have read and seen are statements such as "could" and "probably" was an SS if it had the 72 code. I have not seen anything that states that is 100% true. Unless someone can produce written documentation (not hearsay) to this I would think that any 1969 Chevrolet such as a Camaro, Chevelle, Nova, could be painted code 72 no matter what the model.

Oh by the way. When you backhalfed your 69 with the four door sheetmetal to use GM sheetmetal as you stated you wanted to do, you did check to make sure that the date codes stamped in the metal matched close enough prior to the build date of the 2 door car?

He's clearly stating recreation and not hiding anything (at this time). If and when you sell your car you will disclose it was backhalfed, right?
