Any body know anything about this car on ebay? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayIS...091339&rd=1

Wow! What a beautiful Z. I think that's got to be the nicest color combination I have seen on a first gen. Z car in a long time. I think this same guy has the Grabber Blue '69 Shelby on Ebay right now too.

WOW, that is a beautiful car. Are you thinking about buying it? If you are looking for a very nice custom built Camaro, then this one could be it. If you are looking for an original Z-28, then I would keep looking. I didn't see anything about any documentation so you don't know what the original paint color was. The interior has been changed. It doesn't have the original engine. It doesn't say anything about the rest of the drivetrain being original to the car. For the money this car will bring, you can get a nice matching numbers 69 Z-28. Just my opinion.

That is one beautiful Z-28. However, I agree totally. That is way to much to spend on a 69 Z without at least having the original DZ 302.

Not trying to be too critical, but nothing is correct on the car. Keep looking is my advise.

[69zman]

No, not trying to buy it, to much $ for me. Just thought people would like to see it. Is the car correct? whats wrong with it? The guy states #'s matching.

[jfkheat]

Actually very few of the major components are original and/or correct for the car. The interior was originally a standard black interior but is now black and white houndstooth. Since the cowl tag has -- for special paint, without some type of documentation, you don't know the original color. The engine is probably a correct dated engine but not original to the car. Exhaust system is wrong. Tires are wrong. And tons of smaller items that are wrong.

Great looking car....it's expensive but a lot of folks don't care if it's totally correct.

[/ QUOTE ]The Majority of Todays Buyers DO NOT CARE!!! Wake up all You PURISTS CLINGING TO YOUR ORIGINAL WHEEL WEIGHTS AND WING NUTS!!!! the Market for these cars consists of the 35-60 Age Bracket with Disposable income that want the Car they could not afford way back whenever. so now for whatever reason they have an extra chunk of Dough Laying around and they want to fill that empty void they have yearned to do for so long. Take a Look at "Colin's Classic Car Prices". He sells very Fine Cars at Very High Prices. Been in Business since 1989 and no sign of Bankruptcy yet. Most of todays buyers are pleased with a well done clone of their dream car that to Buy the Real thing would be pushing $200K! Nice Clones of Yenko and COPO Cars are starting around $35K and up to $100K!!. The Purist is a very small Buyer of these High End Cars. they usually procure a Perfect Car long before Colin or any other Dealer gets their Mitts on them. and I am in no way Knocking Colin. He is a Great Guy and a Man to be admired for what he is doing and has done! I am certain this X77 whatever it is was or will be will make some Mid Lifer a very Happy guy who may not even need Viagra for Months after the purchase!!

Has any one talked to this guy or seen the car? Does it have the original drive train? Any doc's? Seems high for a clone, but very nicely done.
