This numbers match early production Z/28 features a very rare color combination; Matador Red exterior with White/Parchment deluxe interior. So what makes this Z/28 an early production car? It’s the 302 fender emblems. Z/28’s built from September 1967 until the first week of March, 1968 carried 302 badges on the front fenders.
