69 Z/28 original drive train M22

I like the burgundy - relatively rare color. too bad someone went and spray-bombed the engine compartment. Should have white overspray across the top of the firewall.

The car originally had RED stripes you can see where the tape pulled in the trunk jamb and exposed the RED.

You referring to this pic James? I think you may be correct. Where else would that red paint come from? Are there other ones documented this late in the model year? I thought the red stripes on Burgundy cars only happened early in the model year, then got changed to white. If originally red, shame they didn't go back original. Of course, the owner probably got tired of every Camaro expert telling him the stripes were wrong.

I was under the impression that the burgundy cars got the red stripes if it was ordered with red interior. I guess I was wrong. Did a search to verify for myself and came across this Mecum auction that has one that was similarly equipped. Note that they indicate (perhaps incorrectly) that the car in the auction is the only known Z with burgundy and red stripes. Lot#F168
