Silver ZL1 at Future Classics?

[paul1969]

Dear CamaroKing,

I just spent over an hour and a half typing an extremely nasty response to your post directed at me. I've decided not to post it, but rather, to collect my thoughts and clear this up. I hope that you too can learn something from both our actions. I took the time to read over my reply very carefully. Here's what I came up with: I was wrong about the date that I went to see the ZL-1. It was in no way an intentional mistake. I have come to the conclusion that I have a terrible sense of time and how fast it passes. My observation of the car and the tags has not changed. I did see the orange SS big-block in the paint shop at the same time I saw the ZL-1. My point was to show that the car was being offered as a real SS big-block even though the numbers were incorrect (X-11 code on the tag). As far as the black Z-28 RS on the showroom floor. I did see that 3-4 weeks ago. It was being offered at $38,900. I looked it over briefly and came to the conclusion that for the price, the workmanship on the resto was very poor for such a high asking price and I also doubted the car as being a true Z (my opinion) which remains the same as in the previous post. If it wasn't there when you visited, it must have been sold. You are correct when you stated that I did not know what to look for on the convertible. Kurt mentioned that earlier in the post. Thank You, I learned something new. As for the black COPO you speak of, it wasn't there when I visited, but then again you never stated when you were there. I did however see a 69 Yenko clone (yellow/black) for $32,000 and change. That has probably been sold as well. If I seems as though I am a bit biased at times towards this specific dealer and the cars being sold, it may be because I myself have seen and heard (in person) some of the BS. I won't get into it, but I am aware of it. I still however like to visit, just to glance over the cars and maybe even do a little daydreaming. I do not agree with the practice, but will leave it to the authorities to do the right thing. I must admit, but since becoming a new member on this site (yesterday), I can't seem to stop thinking about just how nasty people can really be towards people they don't even know. I've been on Camaros.net for quite some time now and have never been approached this way. I do all I can to help the fellow enthusiast. I might not have a Yenko or Baldwin and I might not be able to decode tags and broadcast sheets in a single glance, but I'm not some guy that pretends that he has a barn full of priceless muscle and knows everything about them. I currently own three 69 Camaros and have just finished my first resto-upgrade. I spent ten years on my first resto and have the gray hair,empty wallet, burnt eardrum (from using the torches), metal slivers in the eye (grinder),broken finger (lifting the body), a nervous breakdown (rescued by Prozac) and a marriage that was pressed to the outermost limits possible and even to this day (JUST TO NAME A FEW). I've earned my right to join the devoted Camaro owners group. I will make mistakes like most other people too. This will be the first year that I can attend car shows with a finished product and hopefully meet up with some of you and learn some more about my favorite hobby. Thanks for the warm welcome, Paul
