I explained the single leaf rear springs, no sway bar, no power brakes...and an auto. He said the guy told him he installed the auto. I then asked where the clutch pedal, Z bar, etc went. He was very disappointed.

A customer came in three or four years ago with a '74 Z/28. I went out to look at it and we got to talking. She told me she suspected it wasn't actually a Z. I looked at it and concurred. No gauges, single leaf rear, and no Z/28 stamp on the tag. She said she really didn't care and loved the car because of how it looked and sounded. I told her that was all that mattered. Beautiful car.
That first paragraph makes me laugh. Who converts a Z28 to an auto??

You have seen pics of my friends KR Cali Special that he is redoing keeping as much original as he can but damn'.He has the ability, the money and the time but...... Damn'.
