1970 Chevelle Data Tag?

[RJS]

<span style="font-weight: bold">My buddy is actively looking for a 70 Chevelle and I have some Data Tag questions. Here's what I believe to know at this point and would like some guidance.

You can't really tell if a car is a real Chevelle SS by
The Vin or Data tag unless it was Canada build and then Z15 would be on Tag. YES or NO?

Does the sequence #'s or Plant give any clue's? YES or NO?

Rear sway bar and boxed lower control arms are a good indication along with 3/8 fuel line? YES or NO?

**Also what #'s should be stamped into the left rear frame rail????


What else will help us in the search?
Thanks Ron</span>

1)For a std. Super Sport,Yes.
2)For a std. Super Sport,No.
3)Yes,but those can be added by anyone too.
4)If you mean parallel to the driver side tail pipe,the frames part#,makers mark &amp; date frame was assembled.
5) I will.

With some further reading it seems Z15 would be on a Canada DT if it was a 454 car or even 396?

Yes I'm looking for the #'s by tail pipe to see if the frame would be a Chevy frame in the right time frame and not a Skylark or LeMans type frame etc...

I know there is a Vin on the frame under the driver seat area but body would have to be off frame to read it right?


Thanks Ron

Z15 is 454 LS-5.....No 454 LS-6's assembled @ Oshawa Canada.
Z25 is 396 L-34.....No 396 L-78's assembled @ Oshawa Canada.

I've never seen anything under a drivers seat,just a CON-VIN,(not a full VIN),on the rear rail behind the back bumper and yes,the body would have to be off to see it if there.
