I will agree that PTB stamps are usually found behind the fenders/ tulip area. My 67 had them there and on both sides of firewall as well. This is a late 7B car, but want to provide a data point that they were there as well.

The only exterior paint work done was this small quarter size near the battery. Perhaps battery froze or someone jumped the car using the wrong polarity

The pics are not great because its on VHS tape. Yes I need to convert

Considering what I know on later years I’d believe the Heater core assembly speed nuts and ex manifold bolts phosphate instead of clear zinc, appears alternator wire rubber boot is what comes with aftermarket wiring harnesses, zinc washer under one painted water pump bolt, and valve covers as mentioned are incorrect but also aftermarket reproduction. Overall nIce find and congratulations. Much of aforementioned in posts easy to change so have fun.

Thanks everyone for the comments. Considering I bought this car already "done" and it is a CE engine, I am not going to go all out on it. But, I did order new valve covers from Crane yesterday, and a ton of other things to make it correct as possible for a nice driver.

One thing, the trunk lid does not have the "Chevrolet" and "camaro" emblems.

Does anyone have exact measurements on where to drill the holes to place these emblems?

Thanks again, Paul

Air filter is a later one, the one you have is a square mesh, yours should be angled. I had the square one on my 71 vette

Distributor wires are not oriented the way they came from the factory, assembly manual shows it
