I was hoping to get a chance to talk to Jon about his car and the '67 Z28 that is sitting in the woods near me, but I didn't get the chance. It was a pretty busy weekend. It enjoyed seeing his car.

Thanks Steve and Kirt. I really enjoy the cars and the friendships made because of them.

Freddie, send me a PM if you get a chance. I'd be happy to talk with you and I'm sorry we didn't meet at the show. The time went by all too quickly.

Yes indeed that 67Z display was something to see and Jon as Steve mentioned is such an asset to the hobby along with being quite a friend. Thanks Jon for all you do!
How about a start on preparing a display of 68 Z/28's for next year? I'm in! :)

I'm going to try to get some pictures of the '67 Z28 sitting in the woods. If you are trying to account for all 602 of them then this one needs to be on the list. There is also a '68 RS Z28 sitting behind a house in Bremen that has been there for over 40 years, and a '69 Z28 that has been sitting so long that the leaf springs have poked through the floor.

I'm not sure what the plan is for next year's show, Chick. They may not have a dedicated Z28 display like they did this year. I guess we'll find out.

Freddie, I'd love to see pics of that car and please record whatever numbers you can off of it. Thanks for your willingness to do this.

What I can tell you right now is that it was bought new by Joe Dunlap and it was a white car. I'll try to get the rest of the information in a few weeks.

Won't the owner sell you the car Freddie? Shame to have a Z sitting in the woods!

It's too far gone to save it now. The last owner stripped it before dumping it in the woods.

I thought the 67 Z display was excellent too. It was a pleasure meeting Jon and some of the other owners, seeing their cars and hearing the stories that went with them. Now regarding 68 Z's... did everybody see the early production Tripoli Turquoise with black vinyl top 68 Z out near the barn find area? That was a color combo I had never seen on a 68 Z. Stunning.
