1967 z RS WOW

[70 copo]

Seller states in plum auction he "may have a line on what is believed to be original rear end. Will advise if so and cost for it."

Rear end was in Blue Car perhaps?

[scuncio]

That's certainly possible. What are the odds of finding two May built '67 Z cars? In any case I hope the winning bidder is a site member so we can see this thing....

I was concerned about it beyond restorable, or just a cowl with tags. I almost went for it, but seller could not provide pics.

With an attempt to uncover some researchable material on the plum car, I found a championship drag racer out of Portsmouth, Ohio named Gordon Collett. This is most likely the sponsor of this plum Z. There were numerous Winternationals and other National event wins featuring Gordon Collett of Portsmouth. Hopefully the new owner of this Z hull can get a clue or lead in this direction!

Gordon Collett raced a top gas dragster back in the 60s. He was a championship winning owner/driver and owned the class for awhile.

Is that a dent at the front of the drivers door in the enlarged photo?

That's not the cowl tag from the car that the guy had a small cowl section w the hidden serial numbers and the cowl tag and, VIN and complete drivetrain a few years ago , is it? He offered to me a few times.
