1971 lt1

[TimG]

Now that judging is over, I wanted to post a picture of the pad on this 1360 mile LT1. This was a stumbling block when I purchased the car as this code does not exist for any car in 1971. Many 1971 LT1's have individually stamped assembly codes and that is not at all unusual, but CBZ does not exist. The build code should have been ground off and restamped correctly as CGZ, but it was not. The pad sailed through judging as a factory anomaly. The engine has all of its original warranty gaskets and is clearly the original engine with a unique stamping.

Thank you, Dan. I’m on a low mile car kick with the purchase of the 8,900 mile 67 435.

I’d love to see the paperwork in the black LT1.

and so you shall... 8900 mile car, are you talking about the Marina Blue coupe with white and blue interior?

There are approx 20 letters back and forth with GM overseas distribution (Navy enlisted for domestic delivery.)
Highlights of 2 pieces...

Here is a link to the individual pieces.
