History on Garnet Red '69 Z28 N515065?

[tom406]

I'm personally very confident that its real, having seen it wearing mostly original paint (hood and later-style spoilers added) back then. I know the guy who repainted it, he's a very detail oriented guy and has had a number of '69 Camaros himself. He was tasked with stripping it to bare metal, and found it to be the straightest, most solid '69 Camaro he'd ever worked on. More importantly, he found no evidence in terms of emblem holes and configuration of the car that it had ever been anything besides a Z/28. Circumstantial evidence notwithstanding, it would be great to have some verifiable history or solid documentation to support.

My personal theory is that it was a cream puff RS/Z, possibly with a blown motor, that some Camaro collector decided to hang all of their collected crossram/JL8 goodies on in the late 80's or early 90's.
