Maybe the car was originally built without the spoiler and was added at a later date

I think that Perry's car looks awesome! Congrats on the magazine coverage.

Perry, it has been many years, but if I am not mistaken, when I looked at the car it had been freshly repainted. This was shortly before you bought the car. The owner was into Harleys'. I remember inspecting the body very closely and I am pretty sure about my recollection. I believe during the repaint a mistake was made....JMHO

Hey Steve.. Must be another car, paint looked far from fresh at first.. The car had some work done in the quarters 6 or so years before I bought but it wasn't done right and rust was coming thru.. I had them corrected and quarters blended. I've never found signs of a total re-paint, but I've never gotten to the orig owner either just the second so I..

The car had rust repair that was questionable on both quarters, bottom of doors and front lower fenders. It also had a passenger quarter rear antenna. Although the body work was done incorrectly the paint looked very good. It may not be the same car; I looked at it probably 15 years ago.

Perry, Whatever the past circumstances, your 70 Z-28 as you currently have it looking is certainly a great example.
I will 2nd with what Rick H has already alluded to. I have never seen, read or heard of a 1970 Norwood Z-28 with one piece spoiler, having stripes that ended as yours do, as well as extending down to edge of the deck lid (trunk)
It has always been my experience to have Norwood 70 Z-28's with one piece spoilers(Non COPO), ONLY follow the assembly manual specs, with 9" between the major L & R stripe.

Just wanted to clarify my post. The car I looked at 15 years ago, most likely was not Perry's car and I was describing it to make that determination. Regarding Perry's car, it is a fine example and one which I wish I owned. Further Perry is one of the good guys.

Thanks to all for the kind words, I've had some amazing things happen for me with this car, the Ertl deal, all the mags in the past but hanging out with Tom Shaw for the photoshoot for MCE was a blast..
Steve you're one of the good guys also..
Chuck- thanks for the compliment, does mean a lot coming from you.. Car will die with me and have no plans for it to make the trip to PA ever again but when/if I change those stripes I'll send you a pic.. If I make it to Carlisle this year will make a point to stop and say hello.

Happy Holidays to all, now I have to start getting ready for the holiday trip back to Long Island this weekend, know I'm gonna freeze my ass off !!
