It is a nice looking car, but unmolested, unrestored, hardly.

Agreed, I hate seeing someone trying to pass off something it isn't, especially when selling. I only like the look of it and the color. Not being an interested buyer, I wasn't going to pick the car apart, I have enough of the local "experts" that do that on my Camaro.

Plus those 1967 Center Caps sure look purdy on the car and the close up of the replacement carb numbers really adds to the unmolested, untouched story. Come on.

Actually all 68-69 Camaros have body color painted strikers on the decklid and the latch portion bolted to the tailpanel support. They were already bolted in place before the car was painted. The same goes for the door latches and strikers, all were painted in 68-69. Now the 67's had the latches and strikers bolted in after the cars were painted but sometime during the year they changed that procedure. I am not completely up to date on the time frame of each plant but late 67's had painted latches in the doors and the trunk. I know the trunk latch and strikers were already being painted body color sometime around late Feb or early March of 67 for the Norwood cars, maybe earlier. Not sure on the doors though, maybe Jon M. can shed some light on this subject.................RatPack..................

Isn't that the truth.......Look at the number of L-79 cars that are out there, probably twice as many that were ever built..........Also there is a Yellow 69 ZL-1 Clone in the area that is represented as 1 of 69

The cowl hood (ZL2) was introduced in mid-December of 68. I recall reading (probably on CRG) that 80 some percent of Z's came with flat hoods.

Here you go Johnny. Just found this. RPO ZL2
