I'm loving this 69 RS Z

I personally think a prestine (original) '69 Z28 with paper can be had for $75K-$100K (ish). But on the same boat, a solid driver, all original car like mine could fetch around $50K+. This just goes to show how important doing proper research and inspecting counts! Everything varries car to car.

That burnish brown RS/Z is a super nice! Looks awesome with no spoilers and a cowl hood. SMOG with some nice options... I would love another like that!

With all this record sales volume and super prices it's good thing there are more muscles cars now than Detroit ever made!!!

Isn't that the truth.......Look at the number of L-79 cars that are out there, probably twice as many that were ever built..........Also there is a Yellow 69 ZL-1 Clone in the area that is represented as 1 of 69

It has a truck bell housing.

back to the original car. weren't cowl hoods only on later built cars? Can someone shed some light on cowl hoods for 69 Z28s?

The cowl hood (ZL2) was introduced in mid-December of 68. I recall reading (probably on CRG) that 80 some percent of Z's came with flat hoods.

Here you go Johnny. Just found this. RPO ZL2

Thanks Darren. If the #of Zs with cowl hoods is accurate(%20) how come it seems like i see them on %90 of the Z28s i come across? Just that popular an upgrade or do people try to pass them off as factory? Is there anyway to tell if this car came with that hood?

Troy,

My '67 was built 07B at the LA plant and it still has the unpainted door strikers and trunk lid catch. I have never personally seen an <u>original paint</u> '67 LA-built car with those items painted. '68 and '69 are a different story.

P.S. Nice magazine article on your Bill Thomas car!
