I am currently looking to buy a 1969 Z28 RS. How can i tell a real one from a fake. I know that this is a second generation board, but i know that you guys have the answer.

Thanks, Jody

Many ways, but first is check to see all the parts are there. There are A LOT !! Taillights are different (w/ no backup), backup lights in lower valance - easy to tell if the valance was cut by hand. RS Headlight assembly is VAST - should be a vacuum operator under each front fender - headlight switch inside should have all kinda vacuum lines running to it. Should be a vacuum tank on driver fenderwell and lots of lines running everywhere.

Should have an X33 on the trim tag.
Car will be a 4 speed, and will not have air conditioning.

Only Camaros built at Norwood and built December of 1968 and later will have X-codes on the the trim tag. LA cars do not have them.

x33 - Z28 w/Z22 RS or Z21 option
X77 - Z28 w/o Z21 style trim

Z21 - Exterior molding
