Jon Mello's 67 Z/28 Survivor

[Supercar_Kid]

Very cool car with a neat selection of options and a lack thereof. In this instance, less is certainly more.

Very nice car Jon. I like the different color combos.
Can you tell me the backspace on the wheels and what size tires are on them? Thanks.

Cool car Jon! I love the color combo.

Does the Window sticker show heater delete? There has been an ongoing debate on the boards about heater delete not being available on any domestic Camaro's. This could help put that debate to rest.

I think the heater delete debate pertains to 1969 vehicles ? Government mandated defrosters or something....someone will chime in for sure..Jon this is a very cool car...the picture of the fellow standing next to the car is the original owner I believe. Those wheels definitely belong on that car...

68l30 spoilers were not available in 1967. Jon what a great car, and a true survivor. Jon I think you should share the car with us on the east coast, by bringing it to the Camaro National @ Carlisle. That is a perfect car for our Vintage Certification program. Thanks for sharing such a cool car with us.

Thanks to everybody for the compliments on the car. Yes, the window sticker does show the heater delete and the negative dollar amount for the credit. The heater delete is also denoted on the cowl tag and the UOIT sheet. I believe '67 was the last year for a factory installed heater delete on a mainland USA car. 1968 had new vehicle standards to meet which included heating and defrosting. It may be possible that a '68 built prior to Jan 1, 1968 could have had a heater delete but I have never personally seen that. Regarding the lack of rear spoiler, I don't believe any '67 had a factory installed spoiler that year. I asked the original owner and he told me he wouldn't have ordered a spoiler with the car even if they were available because he didn't personally care for them. That is the original owner standing by the car in front of his house in the photo above. I also included a picture of the RH exhaust manifold and partial exhaust pipe to show that they are like new. I have a pretty good feeling that the header gaskets are the originals but if anybody knows different, please let me know. The spare is original and I have two other original tires from off the car but the sidewall is damaged from sitting in the garage for all those years with no air in them. I figure the other two tires went up in a cloud of smoke.

I forgot to mention that the tail lights are the correct '67 pieces. I guess the shade or angle of the car makes it a little hard to tell.
