Barn find 69 Z28
Found a 69 camaro z28 still with the original owner and has been parked since 1979. Car had the protecto plate and some other paperwork with the car. The original window sticker and dealer invoice are toast compliments of the friendly neiborhood rat that was living in the car! It is cortez silver,black stripes (all original paint),x-77 with front and rear spoiler,fold down rear seat,am fm 4 speaker,underhood and trunk light group,console with gauges,grab bar and woodgrain,410 rear and most importantly cowl induction. body is in mint condition with only a few spots that will need attention. Car was purchased brand new at midway chev in St. Paul Minnesota. The owner raced the car and did the typical mods,is still checking to see what he might have laying around that is original to the car.I was going to see if Darren x-33 could post the pics on photoshop. These cars are still out there! This is the 2nd original paint car i have found and purchased this Year.

Re: Barn find 69 Z28
Since I have known Chad one of his biggest dreams has been to locate and own an original Cortez Silver Z-28. Glad to see his dream finally materialize. Between this car and the Cortez LS-6 it looks like there will more sleepless nights helping him restore them. What are friends for, eh? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif
He was recently accused of being a flipper on another site. In his defense I will tell you he could have stole this car (spelled cheap) but gave the owner twice his asking price. When I asked why, he told me he did not feel right taking advantage of the guy. He always wanted one and was prepared to pay it. I have to admit, I am envious of this guy. He sure knows how to find them! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif Rick |

Re: Barn find 69 Z28
I heard that he even pays up for T-Shirts!
Congrats. |
Re: Barn find 69 Z28
Anyone this passionate deserves the reward for the hours(and frequent flyer miles)invested in hunting these down.
Since he is on cloud nine would now be a good time to tell him that LS6 coupe he spotted in the sub garage next to mine was an original paint unmolested fully tissued car I bought from the orignal owner for 28k? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif |

Re: Barn find 69 Z28

I ran into Brad Pitt at the Spitfire,he want's to know when you are making it out west again for lunch.I told you were a man on a mission scouring the country unearthing cool rides,and pitched him for a new reality series based on "The bounty Hunter".It's going open with you busting down barn doors with doctors bag full of cash,a flashlight,and some silly putty! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif |
Re: Barn find 69 Z28
52 thousand rounds,stefano,i should get free shirts now that i am tracking nickey cars. jeff,2k is 4 times what i paid for it lol. And as rick said, I wanted to give the guy a fair price as he was clueless to the value of the car.I do not feel right stealing a car from a guy that does not know the market. same with the ls5,i did not pay market value for the cars but could have bought them alot cheaper.For me it was about the originality of them and the fact that they sold new in MN. Very cool

Re: Barn find 69 Z28
Mark,tell brad he will have to wait until i make it back.I thought you could be telling a story when i heard 28k but you never know. You got that cool pilot car and once rick get his hands on it,it will be one of the best
