Bought my 69 Z28 from original owner
 

This is a test of my photo posting ability,
I wanted to show my 69Z28 that I bought earlier this year from the original owner that bought it new Nov.8,1968, possibly the only one painted this color combo, yes, the red stripes were painted at the factory, I am very proud to own Dan's Z28, it will be given the best of care.

Re: Bought my 69 Z28 from original owner
 

Very nice!

Isn't there another one on this forum?

Re: Bought my 69 Z28 from original owner
 

Same car, I think he bought it from that member. Congrats! Great car, neat history. I love his test drive pics with the speedo well into 3 digits....

Re: Bought my 69 Z28 from original owner
 

Thanks, It is the same Z28 that was in the Z28 lineup in 2008 at MCACN, a very nice car with complete history and paperwork from the original owner, he kept everything,

Re: Bought my 69 Z28 from original owner
 

Oh wow, thanks for clarifying.

Can you post some photos of the motor and interior. Love the flat hood. The color combo is growing on me... congrats!

Re: Bought my 69 Z28 from original owner
 

Congrats....I just found his card yesterday with the pic of the car on it and was wondering if he had ever sold it. Great car.

Re: Bought my 69 Z28 from original owner
 

Unusual and cool color combo. I like it. Congrats Mike!

Re: Bought my 69 Z28 from original owner
 

Wish I knew it was for sale. What a score! That's a keeper there!

Re: Bought my 69 Z28 from original owner
 

Thanks , Dan actually said he would probably never sell because he bought it new, his first new car, and I can understand him wanting to keep it forever, I need to take some engine & interior pics ,will post some soon.

Re: Bought my 69 Z28 from original owner
 

What is the story on how orig owner ordered the unusual color combo. What do the docs reveal?

Re: Bought my 69 Z28 from original owner
 

Someone at the factory painted the red stripes either by mistake or on purpose, who knows, they were not ordered in red, there was no option for red stripes on a Z28.

Re: Bought my 69 Z28 from original owner
 

If I remember correctly, Dan had the car for sale shortly after the Z/28 display and after speaking to Dan extensively about the car I decided not to buy it. Congratulation on buying the car.

Re: Bought my 69 Z28 from original owner
 

Miket, as far as I know, they DID offer those red stripes with that color as a factory option.

This has been discussed on here before, and I know someone more knowledgeable will chime in here.

Re: Bought my 69 Z28 from original owner
 

That's interesting,I hope it turns out that there was a red stripe option for 69 Z28, it had to be a very rare option if so,I grew up with these cars in that era, I have never seen or heard of the option,nothing in any dealer brochures ,but GM had a lot of options that year, Thanks

Re: Bought my 69 Z28 from original owner
 

Yes, I knew about the red stripe option on SS cars, I did not know that red stripes were an option on 1969 Z28 cars, but I am always willing to learn more,
Thanks

Re: Bought my 69 Z28 from original owner
 

There is a Burgandy, Red stripe, original paint RS 69 Z tucked away in Tempe. It is originally from Colorado, owner's brother bought it new.

Re: Bought my 69 Z28 from original owner
 

Dave - did I see that over at John's shop?

No, it hasn't been there. It has a black tuck and roll interior. Maybe someday I can talk the owner out of it.

Re: Bought my 69 Z28 from original owner
 

That's interesting, I am curious about the build date of the Tempe Z28, mine is an early build date of 10B, 1968,
also if his brother ordered the car these colors.

Re: Bought my 69 Z28 from original owner
 

I will try to go see it, he is kind of a recluse. I will try to get some pics and info. I need to touch base again anyway and see if he's ready to let go of it yet.

Re: Bought my 69 Z28 from original owner
 

ok, I took a few pics of exterior,interior &amp; engine, exhaust, I was in a hurry, so they may not be the best pics,,I gotta get going to MCACN, later.

Yup, I'd be interested in some data on the car - a pic of the trim tag would be great! It's the only other red striped Z I've every heard about.

Every other Burgundy Z has had white stripes, but I've seen very few that were built in 68. It could be a build date thing, who knows.

Mike,
Did Dan order the car or did the dealer order it for stock?

Re: Bought my 69 Z28 from original owner
 

Awesome, Love the Flat hood no spoilers and rear antenna... reminds me of a Lemans blue one downstairs... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

Re: Bought my 69 Z28 from original owner
 

Kurt, the dealer ordered this Burgandy Z28 for stock, Dan actually had a Dusk Blue Z ordered at same dealer, he stopped in to check on his order, this Z had just been unloaded a couple hours earlier, he liked the Burgandy &amp; Red stripes, so he gave a deposit that day and bought this car the very next day.
Their are B T stamps on the firewall, there was never a P stamp, is this possibly because the paint inspector would not approve the red stripes.

Re: Bought my 69 Z28 from original owner
 

The inspector was looking at quality, not color. It is often lightly stamped.

Re: Bought my 69 Z28 from original owner
 

On my Z11 the &quot;P&quot; stamp was actually behind the brake booster bracket and you couldn't see it until you removed the brake unit.

Hi, just checking if you were able to get any data on the Tempe Z28 w/Red stripes, any info. is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Re: Bought my 69 Z28 from original owner
 

No, I've been working the last 8 days straight, when I'm on days it's 14 hr days. I should be going into the shop tomorrow, starting my week off. PM me to keep reminding me, I have a lot going on right now so it may slip through the cracks unless you keep on me.

Re: Bought my 69 Z28 from original owner
 

Thanks Dave, I understand the work comes first, if you get a chance sometime to to check it out, no hurry, any info. on the car may be helpful.
Mike

Re: Bought my 69 Z28 from original owner
 

I really, really, really like this car! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: Bought my 69 Z28 from original owner
 

Mike..Congrats on the great car. I spoke with the owner when he had it at Vettefest and I had no doubt it came from the factory with those stripes. You should get a notarized statement from him telling about seeing it and buying it. It will help years from now.

Re: Bought my 69 Z28 from original owner
 

I also enjoyed talking to the last owner at the last Vette Fest a few years back, was neat to see this car and talk to him about it's red stripes, I too believe it was built that way. But that's not saying much... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]
Cool car.

Mike

Re: Bought my 69 Z28 from original owner
 

Doesn't the original owner Dan have pictures when he was getting the car in the snow that day from the dealer? I think the stripes were red then wern't they?
