All this and more in the book.

When I restored my 67Z, I managed to find NOS leaf springs, dated NOS '478' shocks, and NOS 7.35x15 PowerCushion tires. Did not get credit for the springs and shocks in Legend judging but, hey, what do those judges know anyways? Here's a photo I found of the springs:



I faintly remember comparing unweighted height of the springs to new springs and measured about 1in difference. My theory is that the Z springs were not as high as the other models to compensate for the 15in wheel (all other models had 14in wheels).

Of all the things I miss, I miss my memory the most.



PS: They gave me 25 points (out of 4,000) for the tires, one of less than a half dozen sets in existence.

Here's how a 67Z sits with NOS tires, NOS rear springs, NOS front shocks, NOS rear shocks, and original front springs:



I get shivers just thinking about coming across something like this in a showroom back then.

Actually, the air is Day Two. Good question.

The closest reproduction available, as far as I know, is the 7.75x15 PowerCushion redline used on Corvette.

Not much demand for a 7.35x15 given it was only installed on 1967 Z28.

I would get more than shivers if that Z/28 was in my garage.
