Since the drivetrain and suspension was gone many years ago, upgrading it is no big deal. However, if it wasn't a Z/28 at one time, I would not want to mark it as such. Technically at worst it's still a NOM Z/28, right, or would that imply a DZ 302 Engine etc. inside it? It's got to be better than a "clone, memorial or commemerative etc.

No, I think if I were looking for a Z/28 I would rather a "perfect" clone over a car with the correct serial number but everything else wrong.

Wouldn't you'all?

There again, I'll say no. If I want a pro-touring car, I want a pro-touring car. Since there is no body difference between a "real" Z/28 and a plain Camaro, I don't think I'd be willing to pay more for a car just because of that serial number. I would only pay more if I were looking for a restoration. On a pro-touring car, I am going to be looking for the work that has been done, not as much on weather or not the emblem on the fender matches some magic number on the firewall.
Just my thoughts,
