Default Re: 69 Z-28 survivor

Just gettin tired of the hypocrisy.

What did this thread have to do with LM1’s and 70 Z COPO’s?

Everyone has different aspects that they like and dislike about this hobby. Of course people are going to get excited about the things that they like, and especially those cars that they own. I can respect that some guys like cars that they can make “perfect” even though none came from the factory that “perfect”.

Yes, I might be “hyping” the 69 LM1, but nothing I say is false. It is me promoting what I like, and sharing with others who like the same cars.

Steve is doing the same thing with his “certification”. That’s cool. It might not be my thing, but I can respect the opinion he has in his own way for his aspect of this hobby. Why attack Phil and I for what we like?

Finally, back to this Z.

Again and again, we see over restored Z’s COPO’s etc. These cars in many cases were run and run hard/ put away wet. Most do not have original drivelines. This is what made a “Z” a “Z”.

I don’t know this guy, or this car. BUT by the pictures, it seems to be what “I” would rather call a survivor. It’s got the most important part, the heart and soul if you will, of the Z-28 package. IMO, more so than a car that has sat in a barn for 30 years with a blown up engine and now has a 010 block built and put into it.

That’s like giving Einstein a lobotomy and calling him a genius!
