Re: 70 Z-28 RS wanted
In the interest of advising a prospective buyer, I'll suggest a few things I noticed in pictures of BLUE Automania Z-28.
1) 70 Z-28's had Rear Bumper Guards and mounting holes in lower valance ....This car has none 2) This car has WoodGrain dash bezel and std Black Stering wheel Shroud.....One or the other is WRONG, and I'm betting Dash Bezel was added 3)Wrong shifter Ball....should be chrome 4)Wrong Tailpipes......Dont ya think a $35,000 70Z-28 should have a GARDNER system (finding ORIGINAL tailpipes is virtually impossible...Ive been looking for YEARS) 5) Non Original Right front fender....This car has 74 style replacement fender 6)Air Cleaner Wrong and I believe base is repop 7)Wrong VAlve Covers 8)Headers 9)No SMOG I can only imagine misc other things I cant see...AND this is on a 70 Z-28 that is being offered for THIRTY-FIVE THOUSAND $$$$$....I have NO idea how much Bob G paid for his, but suspect he's VERY happy..... Hope everyone comes to "Camaros at Carlisle" to SEE Quality 70+ Z-28's and MORE!!!!! Chuck S

Re: 70 Z-28 RS wanted
About all I saw it had going for it was what appeared to be an original engine with a correct stamp, casting date and casting number. No paperwork and marginal interior, of course, being an LA car, nothing on the trim tag.
I'm looking for an automatic version of a 2nd generation Z.

Re: 70 Z-28 RS wanted
I'm somewhat pleased Chuck
 ...there are some incorrect items on mine but nothing I can't live with...for now !  The white Z automatic looks pretty nice.

Re: 70 Z-28 RS wanted
If the Automania 70 "Z-28" is an LA car W/O Build-Sheet somebody better really do there homework.....before buying.
I'm NOT accusing anybody......but for $35,000 I could clone a LA 70 Z-28 too fool(almost)anybody.....and make a tidy profit doing so..... Chuck

Re: 70 Z-28 RS wanted
I also thought this was an outragious asking price for a car of that caliber!!!!!!! Too many Barret Jackson TV viewers I guess!

Re: 70 Z-28 RS wanted
All these escalating prices are good for current owners, but bad news for aspiring owners. Even though I own tree escalating 1970 Camaros, I'm not pleased with what stupid buyers and greedy sellers (too many of them "DEALERS") have done to the hobby of musclecar restoration, collecting, whatever.....Somebody's going to come along and buy this Automania "Z" (??) for say $30K and think he got a deal???
When if ever will this bubble burst ?????? Chuck S

Re: 70 Z-28 RS wanted
Chuck...there will always be crappy vs. good cars out there for sale. You just have to know who you are buying from and the knowledge to know what you are buying. Thats why this site and sites like NastyZ28 are so important....there are guys on these sites that know an awful lot.They are here to help and hopefully learn before they jump in. All in all good people...unlike other places that just like to hear themselves talk and try and get their hands in each others pants.
