The '68 Z ragtop is featured in the October '94 issue of CAR COLLECTOR magazine. Neat, neat car. I'd like to see the paperwork regarding the 2x4's, as I'm skeptical that Pete Estes would want to drive a crossram equipped 302 around Detroit. With the 8 '69 Trans Am convertibles trading hands well in the six figures (last recorded sale I heard was $185,000, private sales are probably higher) I can't see how $150,000 plus could be out of line for this car. I don't think that the small block is holding it back, I think its the fact that its a '68 (least sought after 1st gen Z) and that its been so sparsely publicized (as noted earlier). If this was a one of one '69 Z28 convertible in a good color with reams of documentation, and lots of magazine features and appearances to let all the well heeled collectors know it existed, I think it would easily be up in Hemi Cuda convertible territory, eclipsing even the awsome ZL1's. I understand the big block mystique, but that doesn't always hold water when '69 Z28's routinely bring more money than '69 SS396 cars, even with their greater numbers and lack of cubes.
