$200K 1969 Z-28

[Jerry@CHP]

Larry Christensen and I looked this car over pretty closely and here's what we came up with. Here's a list of stuff that was not right so all of you can decide for yourself. I did not like the worn pedal pads. A low mileage car would have pristine pedal pads. This was not a cowl hood car either but yet one was installed? Speedo cable plug was knocked out for wires to run through this hole, There were signs of paint work and clear coating too. Have at it guys, here's the list of issues.

Jerry
1. pedal pads worn
2. spiral shocks missing
3. walker replacement exhaust system
4. 3/4" holes in the core support for hood pins
5. cowl hood was installed, it's not a cowl hood car
6. none of the OEM cowl hardware is there.
7. repro air cleaner with chrome lid
8. intake has been off and there are flat washers under the intake bolts
9. 68 Z28 style smog pump with pressure relief valve
10. smog hoses were replaced with regular hose and non factory stampings
11. water pump replaced
12. master cylinder replaced
13. engine lift hooks and vacuum advance hose clip missing
14. GM glass washer bottle on the fender well
15. black replacement grille that was painted silver
16. has 1970 repro style Firestone F70x15" tires.

This is exactly what I was talking about! Alot of smoke and mirrors out at BJ.

Just thought about something else, I suspect that the Brandenburg Z28 in the front of my book with probably be worth in the $400-500,000.00 range now. That car has 22K on the odometer and has no issues with changed or replaced parts. Still sports it's original flat hood too.

Jerry,I think we need to bring "Litte Hoss" out and have match race at the reunion this year!!!!! Kim

Kim,

Yes we do! I am glad I'm retiring the Stickler Z28 after this season. By the trends I am seeing the money being thrown at these cars is off the charts. It makes me wonder if I could retire with a sale of the Old Reliable Z28? I am building a new 67 Z28 for Stock Eliminator and it will be fun to run a car under my own identity.

So if that green 11K mile Z brought $205K, where would that put the 1800 mile black, stripe delete RS Z?

Interesting observations Jerry. I didn't see the car. But based on your observations. I don't see how how this car qualifys as a "True Survivior". 200k for that car is alot of coin. JMHO.
