'69 Possible L78 Camaro with Barrett-Jackson History

[scuncio]

Sharp car.

Just FYI...this car was sold last year at the LV Barrett Jackson auction for $49,500 and I can't find any confirming statements that the engine is original - maybe someone knows the car and can provide feedback.

Today, the car is being sold for $80k and is being touted as a "matching numbers L78." I've included a pic of the stamp adjacent to the oil filter flange in case anyone is curious.

Me thinks it a fake. I have seen a vin stamp by the oil filter on a Norwood pre 2nd week of December, so not out of the question. The only ones I have seen on early cars were October dates, not November, like this car. I also have my doubts with the stamp being legit by a few things I see, but won’t elaborate so as not to help the fakers. Just my humble opinion.

I also have my doubts. Most sellers of L78's and Z28's do not include pics of documentation or engine/trans/rear stampings and any other useful information so that the buyer can make the proper decision on purchasing the car. It may be on purpose.

wow, whats up with that front crossmember?

No black tail light panel.

Is it just because the rear end is hanging down or is that drive shaft way too short? And adjust those headlight doors.

I agree the VIN stamp is odd. Didn't give me a good feeling about the authenticity of the rest of the car.

The fact you can see the VIN stamp concerns me!

Most of the stamps I have seen are incomplete and very faint.
