Re: Taboo's 1969 Z28 Find
 

Clean stereo install https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif. Awesome find!

Not a stitch. Some people say that you can't document a Camaro/Z28 without paperwork?

It wasn't long ago that there was a thread (on another site) stating that we should crush/junk/part out Camaro/Z28s, which had no paperwork and needed more time, labor and parts, than what they are worth to restore.

What do you guys think should be done with this one?

Re: Taboo's 1969 Z28 Find
 

I've seen worse than this brought back to life. Cool color combo. I'd vote for saving her.

Yep, I agree with the above statement. Let me know when you want us to pick it up to haul to the crusher. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Taboo's 1969 Z28 Find
 

The orig pics are great documentation. I would love to have that car.

Re: Taboo's 1969 Z28 Find
 

Is this where the debate about the term "survivor" begins? J/K https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Cool car, should definitely be restored, as long as you keep the siren https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif . It doesn't take a scientific rocket to verify an unrestored, (what looks to be) OP car like this one as a real Z.

Re: Taboo's 1969 Z28 Find
 

Survived what? A massive front end collision? j/k. Cool find...lots of potential, you could definitely throw some cash at that one. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

Re: Taboo's 1969 Z28 Find
 

Is that car in Barrington IL?

Re: Taboo's 1969 Z28 Find
 

Does it still retain it's original/born with 302/4speed trans?

Re: Taboo's 1969 Z28 Find
 

...piece it together just enough to DRIVE it.....DON"T EVEN WASH IT !!!!!!!!and by ALL MEANS, leave ALL of the 'period' pieces on it !.....8 tracks are CHEAP at garage sales !....foghat ? elo ? eagles ? led zep ? rush.....

Re: Taboo's 1969 Z28 Find
 

I personally love that color combo (since I have one already) and would vote for a restore if it has the original born with drivetrain.
It is, however, a money pit of a car!

Re: Taboo's 1969 Z28 Find
 

What about all the Racoon $h^t?

I could not read the engine pad, or get my fat arse under the car to check the trans. The rear had too much scale on it to read the code or date, so we'll check all that out soon.

Re: Taboo's 1969 Z28 Find
 

Donate it to the Tech School guys and use it as a donation for tax purposes! They could build an NHRA F/Stocker. It would help the body shop students, the machine/engine and drivetrain shop and the interior/upholestry kids. May even set an NHRA record in its class. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Taboo's 1969 Z28 Find
 

Stefano...if you gotz the original block/drivetrain....fix it!!

Re: Taboo's 1969 Z28 Find
 

The only thing missing is JL-8, that would be the best. That car needs and deserves a frame off resto.

Re: Taboo's 1969 Z28 Find
 

where do you guys find these cars? i've never see anything like this in my part of georgia. I know if I had that car I would definately go through it. awesome color combo too!

Re: Taboo's 1969 Z28 Find
 

Very neat car with colors and RS option. Did anyone notice the original tower top clamps on the heater hose? If the decision is to not restore, I wouldn't do anything to hurt the car. Someday someone should and will restore this car, just display it as is for now like Pro Team did with the red/red '68 L88 that was at Vettefest.

[/ QUOTE ] I found a 69 rs z28 on ebay in that same condition,missing the original motor in missisippi.in 2003,i think there still out there..

Re: Taboo's 1969 Z28 Find
 

They sure are still out there. I was in Castroville, TX yesterday and passed a '69 Z28 at a tire store. I turned around to look at the car and an older man was the owner. He owned the car since the mid 70's and it was gold/green. It was a very original car, but certainly tired and not loved a tremendous amount. He allowed me to look under the hood and it was a Norwood Z, that's for sure. I tried to view the pad, but there was no way to see anything. He had no idea if the motor was original but he had not changed it since he owned the car. Just kind of a tired old '69 Z28 roaming the streets of Castroville, TX.

Re: Taboo's 1969 Z28 Find
 

Great find...awesome color combination https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

Re: Taboo's 1969 Z28 Find
 

Neat find Mike. Look forward to a few detailed pics.

Great find of a great car. Fix it up...


Love the vintage car alarm. Who was the manufacturer?

Re: Taboo's 1969 Z28 Find
 

I'll have to check but my guess would be Chapman, they were popular in the Chicago area, back in the day.

Re: Taboo's 1969 Z28 Find
 

Looks really similar to one we finished about a year and a half ago, except it was a flat hood car, and black HS instead of 714. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Taboo's 1969 Z28 Find
 

Great pics. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif
That traction bar snubber sure is cinched up tight, enough to bow the leaf spring.

Re: Taboo's 1969 Z28 Find
 

Love the detail shots Stefano... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif....more https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/drool.gif
The 20 on the hood flange is neat, probably 20th week sheetmetal https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif that looks like it lines up with the vin#.
See if you can find a stamp on the inside trunk structure, center forward ?
Great stuff https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif


Also a great shot on the outer two hood stripe widths.

Mike

Those locking Hood locks were sold thru E&R ......(Belmont and Racine)
