Something isn't right. The trim tag looks like 09C and they discontinued the JL8 option in July I believe. The chambered exhaust was discontinued in May so it can't be original either. Be very careful and do your homework if interested in this car.

The pic with the wheel off shows the brake hose setup for a power front disc car and not a JL8 car. On a JL8 car the brake hose would attach to a bracket bolted to the side of the frame in those two holes you can see directly behind the hose.

Charlie, could it be that the car was restored and that bracket left off or accidentally forgotten? Just curious.

The bracket that they did use you can see on the top of the frame. That bracket is for a power front disc brake car. That bracket should not be there on a JL8 car.

"Unique combination of options on a 53,100 mile prestine example of an original 1969 Z-28 rally sport."

Looks like tricky wording on a put together car to me. But a car car nonetheless.

It's a really nicely done car, but there is definitely conflicting options and time frames and with a P-O-P to match makes me think it was a built car with made up documentation. It's really hard to understand his description though. It says JL8 service package rear and then he says all numbers match the trim tag and P-O-P. So is it a non JL8 rear that matches the P-O-P and then had the discs added? Or is it a complete service package rear which wouldn't match the P-O-P? Nice combination of parts though.

If I were selling a real JL8 car with a protecto plate, I would have a closeup of the protecto plate with the rear end code. I would also tighten the nuts on the tie rod adjusting sleeve before taking a pic.

I don't know anyhting about JL8 cars, but wouldn't the fact he states its a "service package" basically be saying it was installed at a later date, rather than as a factory ordered option? These setups WERE available over the counter, correct? Seems to be he isn't claiming its a factory installation.
