No, it is not proof that a car is a Z28, but it does narrow the field of what is could be. It is my understanding that these items only came on the Z28 and L78 cars. L78 is also a rare piece and highly sought after.

I may be wrong and if so I look forward to the education that this post will bring.

Not all 68 Z28's had stripes. I ordered a British Green one without stripes and got it that way. I don't think that this was uncommon, to not have stripes, either.

Im going to check it out again, good chance its nothing but from what I gather I will look at fuel line glove box lid speedo cable exit steering (manual car) for quick ratio (does anyone know the casting numbers?) and tachometer.

No one part will 100% guarantee that you have a '68 Z28, especially 45 years after it was built. The car itself, the history and the summation of the original cumulative parts etc...can help narrow the possibilities.

I have seen 1968 15&quot;glove box wheel stickers on cars that never actually came with 15&quot;s.

3/8&quot; line was also 2bbl V8s.

Good call on the 2bbl.
I have found that to be true also..

Still been trying to go take another look, one of those real hard sorts to deal with he wants to sell it all but now he doesnt want anyone to look at his stuff??? makes it a bit tough, might have to pass this one by...

Also, look for signs of factory dual exhaust.
68 Z28 came with 15x6 wheels from the factory.

&quot;(does anyone know the casting numbers?) If I remember right the quick ratio pitman arm ended in 6225 or 225.
