As far as I know, none of the cars ever came with a Z51 emblem. They're all aftermarket add-ons. I could be wrong though. I'm way less familiar with the minutiae of Corvettes prior to the C5.

Yes you are correct....Z51 emblems are aftermarket except for the optional center caps.

I bought many of the C1-C3 emblems from a older gent that use to paint Corvettes many years ago. When he repainted a Corvette he would put all new emblems on them. About 25 years ago I tracked him down and found he had many NOS embems I also found many on Ebay, car shows and the newer ones from dealers.
