Taboo's 1969 Z28 92,000 mile Survivor/Find

[Stefano]

I think I'll pass on the dealer installed alarm. I still have it so I guess I'm stuck restoring it or maybe a restomod / protouring car?

Thanks for the info regarding the dealership.

Clayton is still open. I go by a couple times a week. If your lucky they might have papers. Paul Smith in Albertville,AL kept every single thing on every car he ever sold. I saw a lot of it while getting a copy of some paperwork on an SYC members 67 Belair. That dealer has since become defunct and the Grandson told me they finally got rid of all the remaining papers.

Gary,
I also have a 09C built hugger orange/ 720 interior Z28 from Alabama, non RS. It also came up to the Chicago area in the '70s. It was sold at Gillespie-Durden Chevrolet in Prattville, AL according to the NCRS.

Hello Camaromb.. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]
It would be interesting to compare data between our cars; mine is unrestored and all metal, glass, interior is factory original (only items replaced have been rubber parts and 'wearout items' like brake pads).

note: Prattville is just north of Montgomery, AL.

Tommy: re Joe V Clayton still being open.. Yes, it is! A good friend of mine is the Parts man there. I've checked periodically over the years trying to find out if they might have any original sales paperwork, but they've always told me (even back then, that they trashed it all years ago and didn't keep it). I think I checked the first time after I purchased my car in '76... always the same story.

I knew my car came from Joe V Clayton when I purchased it, because it still had the original 'dealer emblem' attached to the rear panel, along with a Joe V Clayton tag frame. I've since verified that via the NCRS production/shipment verification (18 Sept 1969 production)

It wasn't long ago that there was a thread (on another site) stating that we should crush/junk/part out Camaro/Z28s, which had no paperwork and needed more time, labor and parts, than what they are worth to restore.

What do you guys think should be done with this one? </div></div>

Here is a little known tidbit of info..... The color used on 1970 Okdsmobike Ralkye 350s is the same formula as 1969 Chevrolet Daytona Yellow. </div></div>
Moore's Salvage Yard in Callensburg, PA had a Daytona Yellow 69 Z28 in its' yard back in the 80's-early 90's. He kept it up close to the house and you'd better not stray off the path to go over and look at it. I did in 83ish......never did that again! Ended up being sold probably in the mid 90's.

I have a yellow/yellow HT that is most likely the only one made with its configuration.

How many of y'all have seen a 69 Z with a BO rear? This car is a late build, October, and actually has a CBO rear. There couldn't have been very many Z's made with that rear, much less a yellow/yellow HT one.

It is an absolutely gorgeous color combo, especially with a black vinyl top.

Back in the day there was a Daytona Yellow/yellow ht/black VT JL8 Z/28 around here. Sold new out of Dale Chev April 1970. Was restored without the top. Went to IL in the '90s, no idea where it is now.
