Im possibly going to look at a 1970 SS LS5 454 this weekend. 3rd gens aren't my area of expertise, but I just want to confirm with the 3rd gen guys what ive researched before I go look at it:
1) 68-72 SS's can be difficult to auththenticate, but the only 100% way to know is to compare the VIN with the engine # (seller is claiming it's #'s matching), or find the build sheet
2) If assembled in Canada, an SS would have Z15 or Z25 on the cowl tag
3) 12 bolt rear end (although supposedley a 12 bolt could be ordered on a small block car with the towing package)
4) SS's had round gauges vs rectangular
It has the cowl hood with pins, as well as all of the proper SS badging (I know that means nothing, but if it's a clone they did a good job). If there's anything else please let me know. Thanks.
