If anything handicaps a '67 Z/28 it's that it doesn't have a big-block. We can argue the pros and cons of any/all aspects of any/all cars but big-time collectors seem to want the baddest, most hairy-chested cars available, such as the Motions, Yenkos, COPOs, Harrells, etc., all with square-port, 4-bolt main, bad-ass Rat power. There is a competitive aspect to just about everything we do and why should muscle car collecting be any different? The only small-block (Chevy) cars that nudge their way into the mega-buck muscle car collector world are rare stuff like the '67 Z, also the '69 Z/28, preferably an RS with JL8 and crossram and, of course, Yenko Deuces. Corvettes, to me, are a separate classification but they too demonstrate that Rats outdo Mice in just about every aspect of the collector scene.

No offense to our Mouse-powered bretheren. I'd love to have a '67 Z but they got too expensive.
