That engine is a re-stamp. Wasnt there a documented VN Burnished Brown Copo? Wasnt there a VN Copo lost in a fire many years ago? Its always buyer beware on a lot of this high dollar stuff.

Couldn’t agree more.

I love this site. A car can look 100% perfect,but then somebody will notice that the wingnut holding the air cleaner lid is wrong.

Yes, I agree 100%, there are some Very Smart people here, better than any other site that I know of, but there is WAY more wrong with this car than a wing nut. Bill

Actually this car is the opposite: the wing nut is authentic...everything under it, is not. ;-)

Just TRY TO Find a ZL2 hood dated late Nov 1968 or first week of December 68.

With all the knowledge these days of these cars, particularly 69 Camaros, it's surprising to me to still see this stuff floating around touted as the real thing.

I just got back from Goodguys this weekend and I truly think I had the only real 69Z on the entire grounds.

There was one other 69Z there, nicely restored but many incorrect details. What got my attention was the claim that it was the very first prototype 69Z built serial number 500003 with this huge sign made up for display. So I had to look closer.
First thing I noticed was the data plate removed with 2 holes left in the firewall. It also had a complete ZL2 hood setup on it and we all know from this discussion, the hoods didn't hit production until very late December, and Z/28's were well into production by that point in time, so a prototype couldn't possibly have it? The rear stripes were done incorrectly, console with gauges and no clock in the dash, chrome gills in the quarters but no style trim anywhere else?? Nice car, Hugger Orange with black stripes, but a Z prototype?
Maybe someone here knows the car or that serial number has been tossed around here in the past? Maybe I'm wrong about it but it had a lot of red flags to make me a believer. Is there more to the story??
