Well, I’m pretty excited! Been after this car for about 15 years and the original owner finally parted with it! Hasn’t run in about 10 years. 3038 original miles! Norwood car.

Congrats!!!

Wow! Unreal.

nice looking i always loved that color. what is the story on why he never drove it?

I’m not exactly sure! He did always have other cars to drive. It was just something he liked to do. He still has a 1974 Corvette with about 3000 miles on it. He had a 91 GMC pick up with 3500 miles on it! A friend of mine bought it the same day that I bought the Z.

Nice.

WOW! Pretty cool!

Window sticker still in place. Unreal :Can-I-Have-It:

Original Paint?

Yes, 100% original paint and original tires. The only thing that I can see that has been changed is the oil filter and battery. I don’t know a lot about 70 Z’s but I am learning as I go. Appears to have the original Lugnuts and original valve stem extension with the steel balls.

Wow! Holy crap that's cool!! Congratulations!!

Looks like an amazing car. Big congratulations on you aquiring the car. Your perseverance paid off. This car would fit our Vintage Certification program @ MCACN and have a spot available...

Wow, what a score. Congratulations. I still don’t understand how an original owner after all these years can sell it.

WoW!! Amazing time capsule! Congratulations!

Nothing else to say other than WOW. A truly amazing time capsule.

Just can't beat that Citrus Green.

What a Excellent find. Hope you will consider bring the car to the MCCAN show. Congratulations on your purchase.

Wow, what an awesome car!

Great find! If I was restoring a 70 Z you'd be my new best friend. Wonderful artifact.

Congrats! What a beautiful car! Would love to see this in Vintage Certification at MCACN.

Wow!...awesome car!

Great car, I hope to see it for Vintage Certification.

WOW!!! What a spectacular car!! Would love to see it in person. Any interest in showing it at MCACN or The camaro nationals?

Sorry! Don't know how to rotate!

Wow...Congrats. Nebraska is not that far from MCACN. We really need to see it. Doesn't need to run.

I am considering going to MCACN this year. I will have to check on rooms, etc. I will check out the Camaro Nationals and see where there at next year.

Dig! Good goin'!!

Are all your plug loom brackets on, I got a Dr side you can have.
I detailed the engine on my buddy’s Dk Green LT1 70 a few years back, had that extra, not easy to find the 2.
Nice car!

Wow, congratulations on an amazing purchase. I think that's a dream for all of us to find something like that.

I’m not sure if I have them all or not! Here’s some pics. I probably need to get better ones. Maybe you can tell me if I am missing any?

I would love the see tons of benchmark pics as I am restoring my 70 Citrus green Z-28. Mine is a Van Nuys car.

Let me know what you would like to see. I haven't cleaned up anything under the hood or underneath yet. And I am not going to do much but knock off the dust. It will be a few days before I can get good pics underneath.

One thing I thought was odd. There is no under hood insulation on the car. Original owner says there never was any! Are there other known cases of 70 Z’s not having hood insulation?

What a great find, and I can’t wait to see more pictures. Also the throttle return spring looks interesting. I look forward to learning more about, and from your car. Thanks for posting.

Throttle return spring is incorrect! When the car was about six months old, the carburetor was stolen off the car. GM was on strike and the original owner couldn’t buy one from GM. So he went to the neighborhood speed shop and asked if they had a generic Holley carburetor that would work on his car. Speed shop guy came back with his stolen carburetor! The fuel line was cut in the exact same spot where his fuel was still cut on the car! So he got the original carb back! There is a rubber hose where the gas line was cut. I assumed that the throttle spring was lost at that time!

Looks almost like the original green spring stretched way out, like they missed the tang on the bracket.
