Default Re: Needing reassurance on purchase

Ok, I am going to post two pictures that will pretty much tell the story. Again, I reviewed these on the basis that I would be subjective and let both party know of where I stand about this car. When I reviewed these 2 pictures I knew right away that something was very wrong. I have a 1970 Z/28 sitting in my driveway and have owned more of these cars then I can remember. I'm not saying I am an expert but I know a thing or two about these cars.

Anyways, the following pictures of the rear swaybar frame brackets are in no way factory installed. They look nothing like any factory bracket I have ever seen. Matter of fact if you look close to the framerails you will not see any evidence of the correct brackets ever being installed. The welds are bad and you can see the undercoating.

Factory swaybar brackets have an eliptical shape to them and are welded to the sides of the framerail. Any 1970 Z/28 owner should recognize this right away. The ones shown in the following pictures are homemade.

I have nothing to gain from this and want to see that all parties are satisfied.

There are other issues with the car but these pretty much sum it up.

Rick H.
