No hurries Fred, just nice to know the evidence it out there...it's like Zora himself just joined our forum!
Beautiful car! I just purchased a 72 SS that was originally Spring Green but was painted red in 2004. I may return it to the original color one day and yours is giving me the inspiration to do so. Mine was made in November 1971 with lapbelts only, of course.Gary,
Thanks! I looked through a printout of that info 4 or 5 times and still missed the production by month. Unfortunately I do not know the change implementation date. I factory ordered my car and the features were a surprise when it showed up at the dealer. Back then I was a GMI co-op student (General Motors Institute now Kettering University) and I was able to get a phone number to call the production scheduling group at Norwood and get the car expedited before the strike hit.
My car is unusual in that it is the THM-400 and Spring Green (a 1972 only GM color) with White stripes and of course the mid-model year changes. Only one time did I ever see another Z-28 wearing the same colors and that was from a distance. View attachment 140371

Not sure on what is being said about the decal. My 72 z28 came off the assembly line with no options. Just a z28. No spoiler and there is a geometry / measurement on the location of the decal on the rear trunk.My 72 Z is a 11D build date and has the early belts and doesn't have the seat belt warning on the lower dash. Can't help on the spoiler decal/emblem though it had been painted so no clue. I always thought the 72s had the foil decal anyway...
Hello Sleeper, are you stating on your 72Z, there are measurents on the bottom side of the decklid, where the decal was to be located?Not sure on what is being said about the decal.
