John,
No offense, but that's a thin coat of black paint over everything. Not dealer undercoating.
Verne https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Here's an example of dealer undercoating (mid-cleaning). Just as sloppy as Charley's original Z. and from the bottom up; not the top down.

Sorry if this has already been asked and answered, but... I just scanned through the whole thread and did not see any pics of the leaf springs from underneath. Charley, did the rear springs have tags? Also, was there a color stripe on front of rear of the spring by the eye?

Thanks for sharing so many pics of such an amazing find.

Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.
 

Wow, that interesting, an automatic Z-28 with manual steering. I wonder how may were delivered that way?

Paul

Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.
 

I ordered my first 70 Z new with auto (in the tree) and I believe power steering.......No stats on any of these combos in Z-28's

Would be interesting to read more about, how original owner came to choosing M-40, manual steering etc etc..........

Also was it ever disclosed after original owner parked this Z-28, what he replaced it.......??????

Thanks,

Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.
 

He was driving his Impala past the Dealership heading home from work and saw the Z28 sitting on the Showroom floor.

I know someone who has a Citrus Green Black vinyl top back interior Column Shift Z28 for sale.

front spring eyes are smothered in undercoat so I have no idea what is there. There are no tags at all on the rear leafs. https://www.yenko.net/attachments/392104-024.JPG

Anyone ever see this on a first gen? Looks like the yellow paint that is painted on suspension nuts and bolts after torquing on old Bimmers.

Hey Charley, is that ribbed for pleasure??? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.
 

Lynn, Yes I found Yellow on my 68's (F-body)
It was more on the sleeve and orange on the tie rod ends.
Crud my car had colors all over it,,When I asked about this John Z mentioned that they were not uniformly applied as some cars were pulled and audited and received additional inspections,,,,

That might explain why most don't have all of the "happy marks" (phrase I stole from Charley) some of the restos get.

My 08A '69 had no inspection marks on tie rods. Both spindles had paint dabs, one red (almost orange) and the other white. I always assumed those were there just to distinguish left from right during assembly.

Also had the green PTB on the firewall, but I could only make out the P and the B. Don't know if the T got washed off, or was never applied.

Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.
 

I decided to try to make one of the assembly line style oil filters. First run was so so. I need to make another screen for bolder letters. I did not have measurements so the size was a best guess. I also need screen ink that does not set up as fast the current paint. It probably would have been faster to just make clear labels.
