Why? Looks OK to me. I've got an X11 tag image 7 VIN number away and they look the same to me.

If you look at the car, it has the automatic brake pedal and no sign of a 4 speed hole in the tunnel. I would tend to think the tag was added to the car. I think that's what he's referring to. The tag might be legit, but not to that car.

Because its now an automatic its a fake Z? Can you see through the carpeting to tell there has never been a 4 speed hole under it? The rivets holding the tag on look good, as does the power disc brakes. My guess is that its a real Z thats just been cut and hacked up over the years, converted to an auto, motor swaps, etc. Maybe it IS a fake Z, but i sure wouldn't make that statement solely based on the pics I see in that auction.

Geez, I thought that carpet was the bare metal floor and tunnel, didn't realize it was actually a faded carpet. I think Sam is probably referring to the fact that the tag is completely stripped of paint so it sticks out looking like it was added. The automatic brake pedal still would throw up a flag, especially with the disc brake pedal. But the trim tag date does line up with the VIN so it could be the original tag for the car.

Looks FAKE!!!
X77 cars had no Chrome on the roof rails or grills in the Quarter panels. I know these and the brake pedal could have been added but I've also been told that new cowl tag rivets can be located as well.
