Hey all...do all 70 Z's say Z28 or 28 on the trim tag? Or was it a Norwood and Los Angeles thing. I have run across a car a guy claims is a Z (LA built car) but nothing on the trim tag...thanks!

Yes the trim tag should say z28 on it. but 1 thing to look 4 is the gas pedal should b bolted to the floor only 70 z28 did this.

A Norwood Car Can Either Say Z28 Or Just 28 On The Tag.mine Personally Says Z28 And 2 Others Locally Say Just 28.these Are All Canadian Documented Cars.......2 With Column Shift/no Consol

I looked at nastyz28.com and they say LA built 1970-71 Z/28 do not say Z/28 on the trim tag...only Norwood cars do. Does that sound right?

thats correct.. there are a few things to look for that are easy to fake and not so easy...lookat the front lower control arm and look for aluminum blocks under the rubber stoppers very hard to fake and very offen forgotten about. Visist my hompage and drop me a note if you need some help ... I love 2nd Gen

go to www.nastyz28 for 2nd gen info

NONE of the LA built cars say anything toi link them to a Z28 on the trim tag

however ALL z28's have the above mentioned alum spacers (although this was a well known fact during the 70's and a LOT of owners upgraded their SS with this part

ALL 70-71 Z28 have the "truck" style gas pedal that is hinged at the floor and attaches to two studs that go through the floow

ALL 70-72 Z have the 8k tach as well as the small rear bumper guards

IF an auto the trans is a Turbo 400, ONLY avail with the Z and the 396 cars
