------I guess Im confused here Jon.Can you tell us all about the day Pete Estes picked up the car?What was the weather like?What color was the grill that day?
------Every thing on this great car was done specially for a very special man.Just what makes you think the grill was any color other than what it is today.Im not sure how the car was delivered,but I dont think I would bash the car about something that I wasnt sure about.But,thats just me.You probably are much more in the loop than the rest of us.

Man, you have no idea how I would love to ride in that car with the top down and the 302 winding out.

Grille is correct as when new. It also is the only 68 that came with a crossram hood (Fiberglas) from the assembly plant.

OK guys,

Here's photographic evidence from 1968 that the grille was painted different than how it is now. It should be black around the outside part of the plastic and the center grille bars are silver.

-----Jon,

-----If this is indeed a pic from the day then my apologies go out to you right now.I hadnt ever seen old pics of this car and as I stated,I truly didnt know how it was delivered to Pete E..........Bill S

Re: $900,000.00 Z/28??
 

Is it really black or do the shadows and photo quality only appear to make it look black? I'm in no position one way or the other to say which is correct so I ask from an objective point of view. It seems in the color shots there is an excessive amount of bright sunlight on the grill and in the black and white it was an overcast day and the main light source seems to be more from behind and to the right of the car. We all know things look different in pictures than they do in person.

Being objective, I wouldn't rely on the one B&W photo in a court case!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif[/img]

Bill,

The picture is from GM photographic. Since it is a 1-of-1 car and this is a Z28 convertible, I'm assuming it has to be the same car. I have attached another picture showing a better angle on the grille paint and also showing under the hood. I apologize for the tone of my original post. It was inappropriate. I love the car. Just thought the car would look that much more perfect with the detail on the grille restored.
