Default Re: "Hog Wild" '69 Z-28 Super Stock Car.

To say I am pretty surprised is an understatement. We do have a match and are working out the final details. I've provided this gentleman with all the proof he desires and he seems satisfied. He didn't have to go to this effort and it impresses me that he did. He could have also really reamed me on the price and isn't. A true car guy who gets it. I truly owe him a huge Thank You ! I've owned the car for about a year now and decided it was time to try and learn some of it's history and that's why I posted it. Better to be lucky than good sometimes I guess.

A full restoration ? Maybe someday. I kinda like the car as a drag car and with an L-88 as it's been since the '70s. I have been collecting the parts in case I decide to but that will be down the road a bit. At MCACN this year I spent some time chatting with Ken Barnhart about his car and it really dawned on me the similarities between the cars. Both were tubbed for S/S at the same time, using the same stuff. His a ZL-1, mine a Z-28. Soon after mine gained an L-88 making things more similar. It was then that the "History" truly sunk in. I will say that the motor and car will never be more than a few yards apart again. Who knows, when I get that 302 in the shop, I might change my mind. Either way, their day will come.
