Special order Blue Z28 crossram car on Ebay

[Lynn]

No doubt a very nice car. However, the puffing about the factory installing the 140 cam, hd valve springs and lifters, and cross ram? Not buying it. I would think that with Jerry's documentation in his fact book, no one out there would continue to believe these "factory installed" stories on cross rams. Not even any mention on the order sheet. As far as why it didn't get JL8 and HD clutch, I think that is explained on the order sheet. "Subject to invoice pricing" Car was probably held up while they were waiting on pricing info. When customer saw the pricing, those items were cancelled. Nothing against the seller. Maybe a great guy, just as honest as they come, and I certainly don't mean any disrespect. The first owner may have even told him the car came from the factory with the cross ram and 140 cam. Doesn't mean it did. Seller states:
"All I know is what was told to me by Spencer and the Mag ad" Well we all know there has NEVER been in misinformation in a magazine, right?

Ditto Charley Lillard on the black grill.

Further, Jerry states "dealer installed striping". That may also apply to the cross ram and camshaft change. These cars had to meet emissions standards. Why do you think GM calls the 140 cam an "off road" item? Don't get me wrong, I like the 140 cam. Have installed it on 3 different 302's (a 67, a 68 and a 69, just by coincidence), but that doesn't make the car worth more IMHO.

Again, I know we tend to nit pick these ebay listings to death, and I am not trying to do that. It is what it is. A very well optioned Z/28 with special paint, in this case special color and probably stripe delete so the dealer could paint the wrap around stripes on. Not the only - - paint car out there for sure. A friend of mine had one this exact same color with a white vinyl top (not a Z). Wasn't ordered with 4:56 gears, but according to the documentation, 4:10 gears. I would think the sellers are joyed beyond belief to get 150k for this car.

Just my 2 cents.
