69 Z/28 Wanted
Customer of mine wants a 69Z - no vinyl top cars
Budget of 80-100K - wants to drive it, no trailer queens (for sure with that budget) - but im sure a nice orig drivetrain car is out there in this range. PM me with what you have. Inspection will occur for the right possibility. Paperwork/previous inspection reports are a plus . |
Has some issues, but appears to have all original power train. Repop MC, rear springs, etc. Guessing rear quarters have been either replaced or repaired.
Some guys love FG, some guys won't consider anything in any shade of green. Worth a closer look. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/19...maro-z-28-250/ |
Thanks Lynn, is promising car, few things to do, but pretty decent and restored too.
any projection on $$ |

The BaT car engine pad has NON OEM machine marks
|
Pad is a long way from pristine; but looks original. Better pics would help. Looks to me like it has been cleaned with a scotch pad or steel wool or scraped a bit.
Kurt seemed to think it is an original. https://www.yenko.net/forum/showthread.php?t=182996 |
That engine pad stamping is good.

No current engine pad stamping pic. No 2nd page of McNeish report which states important info. |
I think he has since posted the rest of the report.
|
cannot beat Lemans Blue!

Block Stamp. Rebuild pics.

Stamping looks good, but I wonder why no current pic or pic of the rear axle tube stamping. Just helps the sale. I dont trust anything anymore these days.
|
That 2nd and 3rd page of McNeish report sums up some suspicions.
Things that I see that raise questions NCRS says car was built 4-1-69, but rear is dated 3-31? POP - is it a repop? McNeish questions it. Says dealer stamp is not legit In the handwritten notes pic 330 - Aug 3, 2003 - new shortblock rebuilt? So is the really the born with engine? That dealer invoice looks too fresh and made up, MacNeish questions it also. Was POP made up to match the current drive line? I like the Trans stamp. Engine pad stamp but not sure about the VIN stamp on the engine. I question the 3/31 rear (no stamping pic) in a 4/1 built car. Kurt S is the expert on POPs If the POP is in question by McNeish, then you got to wonder. The other docs are suspect. |
Agree docs are suspect. I just always assume POPs are repops unless there is some reason to believe they are not. My first Z came with a POP in the glove box. I tossed it, because in my mind "it was no use to me." Most were tossed once out of warranty.
Jerry stated the engine is "original to vehicle." Not saying he couldn't be wrong. He has been fooled before. |

So because the rear was built on 3/31, does that mean the rear was built too late for a 4/1 built car? In other words, should the rear have been already built weeks before 4/1?:dunno: |
Jonesy what do you think of the engine vin and transmission vin being different fonts? I thought they were stamped at the same time. Jerry seemed to approve it.
|
My burgundy Z has a production date of 03/26/69. Axle is dated 03/25/69 Tag is 03D
|
|
yes sure does, looks like a quality car there......on it
thanks for the lead - little over budget, but worth a discussion - |
Azure turquoise, flat hood, black stripes....the only way this could be better is if it were in my garage....hope it's the one for you!!
|
That Azure Z really is a tempting price.
Love the way it looks. |
Same Hemmings seller is offering this Daytona Yellow as well. I was tempted to contact him, but trying to be disciplined…

Might want to check that engine cast date 1-21-8
Rear stripes are terrible Recent history: Streetside Classics June 2022 Asking 97.5k GAA Classic Cars February 2024 bid to 75k GAA Classic Cars April 2024 bid to 72.5k Doc |

With a November date, that’s after the September assembly date. Something’s not right with his numbers
|
I think the "1" is actually an "I", making it cast on Sept 21 and assembled on Sept 27.
|
Casting is I 21 8 so its Sept 21, 1968.
Ya, those rear stripes are too far inward (close together) engine and trans are leaky. Looks promising but check stampings and component stampings for originality :) |
