Great forums/ 69 Z28 info

[whitetop]

O.K. I'll probably catch hell but here goes(I've put my foot in my mouth before one more time won't hurt): Jerry wrote an article about people calling/writing/emailing about bogus rare finds that they recently picked up that just plain don't exist. It is the latest trend on the internet/magazines for some reason. May be an easy way to get 15 minutes of fame so to speak. Am I the only one who finds this Z story to perfect? First off, anytime I hear of a car bought and the owner was later killed in Vietnam put up a red flag to me( No offense Astoria Chas). Last time I looked we lost 58K servicemen in Vietnam. How come it seems like I've heard at least 200,000 stories over the years about owners killed in Vietnam. Who knows, maybe the government is hiding the actual casualty figures. Here's more, 64K with factory headers still on the car-what's left the flange and header bolts?, Hotmail email adr., Father gave him the cross ram/hood/later(at no charge ) to come back with all the paperwork etc. None of the previous owners went back to get parts/information and found out what they had? Car is optioned like a dream fantasy-no pun intended. Zack, if you post pics of the car and parts I will be the first one here to apologize.

whitetop, I tend to agree. Has everyone forgotten the highly optioned '69 BM Phase 3 Camaro story already?

That's what my first thought was about the post but I always like to pursue possible finds because I've seen some of them in person. It sure sounds too good to be true, but it's still worth pursuing to see if the person can come up with some pictures or evidence. The Internet has made it easier to find specific information on any subject so it's hard to tell if someone is playing games or not.

I forgot about that car. Was that the one the guy inherited from his Grandfather and by chance had the same color/wheels etc as the recent Ertl diecast that just happened to be released about that time? Didn't we conclude that his original paperwork was the Walmart receipt?

There was a guy on Team Chevelle who said he bought an LS6 for $1000.00 at a storage facility auction. It was a hoax.

A guy near me just bought his dad's 10,000 original mile 69 Z28. He didn't know a whole lot about it and was asking a bunch of questions so I helped him out. I obviously offered to buy it if he wasn't going to. I think he got it for under $10K but that's a car that stayed in the family so it's a different situation.

I think everyone has heard about the one the owner died in vietnam,I have heard it numerous times,I think it is a possibility for the car to be real and the only way to know is for the person to post some pictures and info such as trim tag and vin# this way you guys that know about these cars can give him information he is looking for about the car.POST SOME INFO ON THE CAR ZACH AND A COUPLE OF PICTURES!!

I was skeptical of Zack from the beginning. He knew nothing about Z's but asked specifically about the rarest most desirable option/ parts. I bet he finds the car has TI ignition on it next. I can't wait to see the window sticker.

OK Zack, you have a Saleen and a Viper. Surely you have a digital camera to post some pics!
