Jon, the front fenders seem darker than the rest of the car on all the vintage photos. Is that due to a repaint or a fiberglass front end or what?

That story gave me goosebumps. I can only imagine how you felt tracking the history on it. What a neat car to have. Congrats.

I loved reading that story! It will be great to see the "#1 Z28" restored back to it's racing glory! That documentation is invaluable! I would make copies and place the originals inside a fire-proof vault!
We can't forget what happened to the 1968 Z28 Convertible paperwork.

Jon, very cool. This car could have been lost, if you did not find this car. I thought the first 25 where sold for racing? 15? Have any other of the first cars built been found? How did they mount the rear spoiler? Is this a early decklid with no cut-outs? Roger
