Re: 2,876 mile 69Z
 

I dont honestly think theres a stitch of original interior in that car. I like how he says he meticulously reproduced every item on the car to make like it was in 69 but that repro tag is a joke. Never had a plate on the front to begin with and the rear plate isnt even close to what a 69 pa tag looks like. Im no expert but wrong radiator cap and should have side terminal battery post on a late car shouldnt it?? I bet if i was there in person it wouldnt take long to pick it apart.

----Don,,,Although I was thinking of this particular Z when I mentioned interior, I was really more referring to original low mileage cars that have had restorations in general......Bill S

wow.. Another Philly car.. Wonder who the original owner was and what part of the city he was in?

Re: 2,876 mile 69Z
 

The car does have a great story and a very nice resoration. I would say it would be worth asking price if it looked like that and was a survivor.

But it is 'just' a low mile restored car. I would say the mileage, the documentaion and the story are with a premium over another beautifully restored 69 RS Z28.

Who cares about mileage when it is frame off restored? There is no difference now. Just my opinion.

Nice horns.

Re: 2,876 mile 69Z
 

I am sure you guys saw this car or at least read about this car a few years back. This car was pretty much discussed about all these things then. Matt, I agree with you. If a car is frame &quot;offed&quot; or frame &quot;upped&quot; you can throw the mileage out. But again...JMO.

Nice color and the red interior really pops!.
Each their own but sounds like it may be a shame it was ever resto'd?!
Can't help but wonder what it was like before...another survivor lost?.

Re: 2,876 mile 69Z
 

my understanding was it was sitting outside for a looonng time.

I agree that a full resto essentially wipes out what is special about original patina. But since restoring my 18K mile Nova, I have to agree with Bill, that generally speaking, the car retains more of its original parts and the car itself needs less &quot;messing with&quot; to complete the restoration. Of course the car should only be restored if it HAS to be restored, i.e. already repainted.
