Hello. I am a patrol officer and I think I found something on a midnight shift one night. It is a 1970-73 Z28 I think. The entire front clip is off and leaned against another junk car. The front end is a ralley sport type. There a z28 badges on both the fenders. It has the large tail spoiler. It has an unk small block 4v. Since I havent owned a 2nd gen in about 14 years, I didnt know what else to look for as far as identifiers of a real Z. I can see the entire engine due to the front clip having been taken off. I do have access to the interior as well. If I am to look for certain numbers on the engine, where do I look exactly. I will most likely be looking at this thing in the dark since it is when I am out there. It is sitting and has been sitting behind some old shop. Please let me know what to look for and I will give it a good thorough look over and post my findings. Thanks.

Ken welcome to the site. Most of the info on here is about first gen cars but you can find just about anything you want on another site- www.nastyz28.com Their site is devoted to 2nd gen cars. Good luck on your find! Kevin

If its a NOR car, should have 28 or Z28 on the trim tag. That would be a starting point.

so, uh, Mr. Police officer- do you have any good reason to be on private property looking thru someone else's car in the middle of the night?

[v8shadow]

Novaderrik,
Yeah, that reason would be checking an active alarm with shots fired in the area. Good enough for you ?

[novaderrik]

so you were looking at cars when there was an alarm going off and shots in the area?

maybe go back during the day as a civilian and ask if you can take a look at it? be able to make things out better in the daylight, anyways...

V8...See if the gas pedal is floor mounted. Check the rubber bumpers on the lower A frame. There will be an aluminum block molded into it. The alum is about 1/4" thick. Good luck.

It wasnt a z. Im dissapointed. It had an olds engine. No z code at all in the space provided on the trim tag. It had a viny roof. No gauge package. Crap.

Ok Nova, isn't spotting a 2nd gen Camaro sitting in a yard unattended reason for "looking"? Day, night, doesn't matter. Any vintage Camaro needs a look see. Besides, I'll bet he was alone. No other gawkers. And who said you can never find a cop when you need one.
