The 1969 Camaro RS Z/28 you are referring to in your statement is not really summed up accurately. You wrote......"Either there are two different cars pictured or someone replaced the front pipes off the exhaust manifolds. Weird, right? As well, overspray on the underbody not done factory style overspray. A chunk of money for a car, that while very nice isn't done the way you would do it, Ken........Bill S"
The car "in question" was taken to the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals in 2013. And there it obtained the Concours Gold Certificate, scoring 989 points, which translate into "the vehicle was found to be between 95 - 100% of its original factory condition". Having said that, if you feel compelled to question the accuracy of this Z/28 and ultimately call out and question the respected and extremely knowledgeable judging team that offers this service at MCACN, feel free to do so.

Paul-
I don't think Bill is questioning the judging of this great car, he was just pointing out something he observed that looked different.
If you look at the two underside chassis pics you can see what Bill is referring to. While the pictures are taken from different viewpoints (front vs, rear) you can see the differences in the bends of the head pipes as the come from the exhaust manifolds and bend towards the driveshaft. In one photo they appear to be more of a right angle while the other is more of a gentle angle. Not trying to take anything away from a great car.
First pic - right angle, Second pic from opposite direction shows more gentle angle. Maybe pictures playing tricks but I agree with Bill, they definitely look different to me. Beautiful car I would love to have in my garage, good luck with the sale.
