yes the Malibu SS quarter panel nameplate is the same one that mounts on the fender of Z16 396 models. it actually looks out of place there. something interesting about the Z16 is 3 exterior emblems to mark a Z16 (trunk lid emblem says Malibu ss 396 / front fender emblems which say Malibu SS / and the 396 turbo-jet emblem that was on the front of the fender too. also exterior wise the trunk lid chrome is way different. there are 3 pieces of trim that are different. these three pieces i have seen sell Hemmings for $8500.00. there is a guy who repos them for $2500.00 and they are very nice. the taillights and trim around them were from the el cheapo 300 deluxe. under the hood was another spot were the z16 can be identified. the air cleaner is a dual snorkel with chrome top and has a 396 metal emblem on it. this emblem repoped sells for over $200.00.
