I was visiting with a friend at his body shop and he has a 1969 Z/28-RS there doing a little work to it. It needs a restoration but I don't think the owner is ready for that yet (I haven't met him). I copied down some of the important data because I was curious to see if it is listed in the database and because it does have a DZ coded engine but not the original (to see if the original car is around). I know how all of this decodes except for the axle code. Here is the basic data.

VIN - 124379N614471
Cowl tag -
ST69 12437NOR279713 BDY
TR 711 71 71 PNT
03B X33
Engine pad - 19N520236 (is this car around?) VI009DZ
Trans - 19N614474 P9B26B
Rear axle - BL1226G2

Date looks right on the motor, but nothing on either VIN.

Trans is original but axle isn't (Dec 26, 3.07 open).

If you get a chance, I'd be interested in a pic of the engine pad and the trans stamps. If not, no biggie.
Thanks!

I may have written something down wrong for the VIN or the trans stamp, I just noticed that they are different in my first post. So, it isn't possible that the rear axle is original? I know 3 months is a long stretch but why replace the original with this one (3:07 open)? Was the 3:07 offered as an option for the Z?

I don't know if I'll have the opportunity to get photos of the stamps but I can try. The engine pad had a lot of paint on it.

On the pics, if it's a problem, don't sweat it.

Highly unlikely a Z got a 3.07. And almost no chance of 3 months in that time of 69. They were cranking them out at that time.
