are the Baldwin dealer sticker and license plate frame!

equipped with power brakes, this one has the correct cadmium plated
booster. Other details include the PBT markings on the firewall,

had a 305 cubic inch limit, the DZ 302 is a legendary performer! At
7,000 rpm they are still pulling. This Z is worthy of any
collection because it is the real deal! Not to mention restored
beautifully and has a great history. There's others, they aren't
this one!
