Default 69 Z/28 Feature Showcase #1 Z28 Built!

I am very excited to announce the final edition to the display. I will be bringing what might be the 1st Z28 off the line. VIN #3. For all the true Z enthusiasts this car will be something to see. It is currently unrestored and for the most part is just the shell and doors. However, this is the best way to see all the unique parts on this car including the signatures of the engine and body builders as found on the roof under the headliner. It has very early cast parts with it and some of them are hand stamped. It even has the original block! The car is gold with white interior. If anyone has any info or remembers the car speak up. Maybe this car was on the auto show circuit? It has already been acknowledged by Jim Mattison as being built on the pilot line in Michigan.

If there wasn't enough already, this addition makes the show that much more special.

Darren, you are absolutely incredible! Every car magazine on the rack should interview you at the showcase for your extraordinary accomplishment!

Darren has indeed done a great job. It takes untold calls and visits to pull off a Showcase of this quality. Believe me, it doesn't just magically appear.



To Mr Costello and all of the participants.

Somebody else is gonna have to make the run for food this year as I'll be busy with the display. Thanks for all the kind words but this is truly an example everyone working together. This is by no means a one man show. I couldn't have done any of it without the help of all that signed up to display their cars.
