Default Re: ZZ code on 1969 Camaro Z/28 trim tag

May be one of those questions that never gets answered if it is the real tag...

So, is it the real tag? Anybody know for sure?

Its a real tag, the ZZ is done from behind, but it wasn't done on the same machine that did the rest of the trim tag data. The font is a little taller than the rest, and there was no provision in the tag machine to place characters in that location. The ZZ letters aren't as crisp as the rest of the tag info suggesting it was done either before or after the rest of the tag data was stamped on another fixture or by hand. Don't know what it means or when it was done.

In case you need a bigger image:

Ok, Ive seen 1969 Trans Am Trim Tags, Ive seen Z10 trim tags, Ive seen 70-up era Z28 trim tags, and of course the documented 04L Tags on 1969 Camaros....But I truly find this one hard to believe! If you are suggesting it was done on a seperate machine, Where and Why did this take place??? For all the tags Ive seen in over 25 years experience, Ive never seen this one ever! And they aren't even lined up correctly! Someone here in the community should chime in here and give a final statement to this...please?
