I just picked up a 69 z28 with low miles. The origional owner said the car has never been repainted but the rear stripes are spread wider apart on the trunk than they are on the hood. Have you ever heard of this.

Welcome to Team Camaro!
The wider spacing for the rear stripes was a mid-year change during the 69 model year.
If you do a search for "stripe spacing" here, you'll find quite a few threads with discussion. I can't recall seeing an exact date for when the spacing changed for each plant.

The 69 Z/28 rear stripe layout is different than 67-68. It was not a mid-year change; very few early cars were done that way. The Z/28 Hot Rod magazine tested [Jan 69] had the 67-68 rear layout. I do not know of a survivor with the early layout. Many restored 69s are done wrong.

Re: barn find 69 z28
Ok. There is a great story behind this car, but I'll give the short version. The origional owner had his sister cosign for him in 69. He went to war, cameback and went to school,got sick and passed away. The cosigner (sister) took possession and gave it to her son. The son couldn't care less about the car. Another relitive thought he should have it. He broke out all the glass. The family hid the car and the car has set that way since 1980. Out side in the weather. The car has 7,864 origional miles on it, but will need a complete rebuild bnecause of the condition it's in. I found it after years of searching. Made a couple offers and was turned down. He called me a couple weeks ago and wanted me to buy it. It's now in my garage. Could be a money pit.

Re: barn find 69 z28
I don't know if this thread is worth it yet. I need to see documentation showing that the numbers on the block has two of the vin numbers 1 1/2 times larger. I had a camaro restorer saying he has never seen this and questions the fact that it's the real thing. I didn't get any proof,so he left thinking its Questionable.
