thanks so much for all the detail pictures

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

Congratulations on the purchase. It seems the seller did his research prior to pulling the sales trigger. This is a museum piece. Thanks for sharing this and posting all the pics.

The abundance of Ziebart.... Was this a normal practice? all that overspray?

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

Wow, the chrome Camaro on the glovebox is still there. What a great find and it's good to see a car like this come out and be seen. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif This is simply amazing that it's a z/28. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif Usually cars like this end up being a 6 cylinder plain jane which would be cool too. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif Congrats on the purchase and thanks for sharing. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...arleySucks.gif

Yes it was. They could trash the engine compartment on a new vehicle. And it only delayed the total destruction of a new car that was winter driven here in the rust belt.

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

Was it indeed Ziebart that actually applied the undercoating?..I don't see any signs of their trademark yellow Ziebart plugs in the jamb areas.
If not them,did F-T undercoat it and what was the charge?

I only found a few local listings here for residences by the similar spelling name of Yosell.Not a Doris past or present in any of them..and none of them MIA Mike. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

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

Looks like undercoating rather than Ziebart. No holes in the doors.

I wonder if Doris knows she is being stalked on the internet by strange men-for a door ding that happened so long ago. She has the potential to be a superstar on this site, maybe her own kissing booth at Vette Fest.

Incredible car, you couldn't make this up- no one would believe you.

My car (LA built) is also heavily undercoated. I don't think it was Ziebart either. Perhaps they sprayed them all that were heading to the midwest? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

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

Undercoating may have been done by the selling dealership too.

Post factory applied undercoating for sure. A lot of cars had it done.

The owner of my car remembered the guy (by name) at the dealership who applied the undercoating. He praised him for what a great and thorough job. I plan on removing it, but 9 years have past and its still on the car...argh https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/mad.gif!

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

And thank god my car had it or it might not have survived. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif

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

Would it be unusual for an LA built car to be sold new in Chicago? Any rhyme or reason for some Chicago cars being Norwood cars and others being LA cars. Was it just supply and demand? Norwood is sure closer to Chicago than LA.

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

Same here D. I removed it a few years ago and the floor pans are perfect. Even the ends of the bolts holding the seat belts ae bright and shiny.
I think the charge to undercoat my car at the dealership was $23.50. And I agree, that looks like dealer applied undercoat.

I certainly thought so. My car was sold new in Decatur Illinois. Another LA built L78 70 Camaro was sold new at Fred Gibb's dealership. Not sure what the reasoning was behind it.

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

I need to remove the tons of undercoating on my new '70 Z28. It was a Florida rust free car, so I'm sure it will be amazing once it's off. Grunt work, though. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

I won't buy your car without the undercoating so think real hard before you do it. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

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

Jason has informed me that after looking closer at the piece of paper on the diff, it is a partial of a build sheet. I think he said parts of it were readable. https://www.yenko.net/attachments/371823-tn_HPIM0712.JPG

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

I don't think you can get a vintage car any closer to being new than this. -- it's remarkable that being kept in a garage for that length of time it has no critter or mice damage.

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

An LA built car; that explains the abundance of Build Sheets, if that was a Norwood car
the assembly line workers would probably have caught hell for that. I still don’t understand
the reason for putting them in LA built cars and not Norwood. I guess I am lucky that one
was left under my rug in my L78, Must have been a Monday morning built car. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

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

The "TG" on the original 1970 license plate indicates that the car comes to Austin. It was destined to be mine from the start......
