Yeah! It's cool to resurrect the classic names on newer F-bodies.

No way, it's a classic name and belongs on authentic, classic cars.

The classic "Z-28" or "Chevrolet" are cool. Putting Burger or something like that on a car that isnt one is moronic to me....

What do ya'll think?
Badging as a COPO huh?

I like retro badging, but I also like no badging (which MUST be the COPO badge ).

I had the retro z/28 badges for awhile, but then I took them off in favor of custom B4C badges. Badge your car for what it is, but don't be fake.

I'm sort of doing some retro badging on the Formula.







Red ones

Black ones


I was also thinking of trying to get a custom set of the old 400 Ram Air hood emblems done that say 412 and put them on between the fender outlets once I remove the door moldings.

Then again I hope to build a 455ci stroker for it next year once they figure out the new blocks that are coming out. I won't need custom ones then

I like retro, clones not so much, but retro yes.
