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

I have a question, if it was my car I cant decide what a guy does with it...

1- do you dust and vacumm the interior pump up the tires and leave it as is unfired and dusty under the hood and under the car and display it as is???

2- clean the interior and carefully clean under the hood and suspension and try to get things clean without losing anything and check things and fire it up and display it like that??

how far you thinking of going with it, charley

Amazing car Charlie, but I think it should be carefully cleaned. Its not Chevy dust for God's sake! I think the non-Chevy undercoating could be carefully removed to expose the amazing details underneath. Unfortunately the floor pans are black not Norwood red primer underneath. The benchmark car for sure, clean it back to showroom new!

That car is awesome Charlie. Great Score!!!!Can't wait to see it in person.

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

Most would love to see it back on the road again, but it's a tough decision.

I only have experience with reviving one barn survivor car. A 7900 mile car that had been dormant for decades.

First was getting it running again. Not a big deal, made sure it turned over, oil change w/ 1qt of dex/merc. Clean the tank, lines, and rebuild carb. Plus plugs/points, and later the plug wires replaced. Once it got to temp, heater core was shot.

Hit the brake pedal, no go. Rebuilt master cylinder, no prob. But once the brake system built pressure, more issues. F-R hard line sprung leaks, wheel cylinders shot, and rear flex was clogged. That nice, new F-R brake line looks out of place, and the carb is a little cleaner than the rest of the engine, but it's back on the road running like a top.

Chuckle's car is probably better and would (likely) have less issues, but still a possibility. While a lot of the original stuff can be rebuilt, there's still a chance you'll have no choice other than to replace some things.

So I guess the question is do you roll the dice and hope everything will be okay, or possibly have to alter some of the originality in order to get it back on the road again?

Per Dan...Jasons partner in crime in alot of this car stuff...

the tire dates are all 1st week Feb. 1970 wheels are:Rt. rear=2-26-70 Rt. front=2-25-70 left front=2-16=70 left rear 2-25-70

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

Congratulations, Charley. This neat piece of Chevrolet history has found a great new home.

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

Yeah, at Jason's. By the way Charley, the wheel dates being off are a multi point deduction.

That's a clearance notch for the free crossram that came in the trunk on all of these 70 Z's https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Carl....the depressions are actually molded into the insulation to create clearance for the air cleaner. I just bought a new one from Chuck Sharrin (CamarosRus) You could contact him and see if he has any left.

Could the two different ends on the plug wires be an engineering change between 4Q69 and 1Q70? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

I see the depression which is longitudinally symmetrical, my question was the presence of the second circular depression, which for lack of a better term appears to be peeking out from the center one????

I see it on the original and on Chucks. May be a question without an answer but..............
