Superbird Scissor Jack

[oldchevelle541]

any thoughts if the photos below show a true Superbird jack or a reproduction. Paint and finish may not be correct but more interested in if it's real.

Thanks

I presume there is a date code on the scissors jack like there are on other jacks. Where can it be found on the jack?

No sign of a date code anywhere.Since all birds had a B30 scheduled production date and the limited total built it was probably a negligable item.

Jack date codes are two character codes stamped into the head of one of the assembly rivets. Look closely as it is small and may have been painted over. Again, I don't know for a fact that one will be there but that would be where I would look.

does not appear to have any date codes on rivets but not open to begin randomly sanding off paint. The jack looks like it has been used especially on the underside of the base plate. My guess if this was a reproduction it would be in better condition.

Believe the thread count on originals are 14 per inch........
