69 RS JL8 Z-28

I have asked him about old paperwork on the car but he said everything he had on it went with it when he sold it. I have a bunch of buddies that are local cops and they told me if I could come up with a VIN that they could trace it back to the last regeistered owner. Needless to say I have not found anything on it...
And you are right. He did say it had a 3.73. Burying the speedo in 2nd gear was not a problem according to him. On the highway it was a monster, but around town it fell flat on its face!

Maybe the dealer he sold it to might have some old records. But....I doubt it.

This is sad. I had a friend in high school that drove a
69 RS Z/28 that looked exactly like this car. Same color,
no spoilers or ZL/2 induction and it also had the deluxe
green interior. I can't remember about the console though.
Sadly, this car was literally cut in half when in came in
contact with a bridge embuttment ( 1977 I believe ).

I actually wanted to buy the car just to get the interior
out of it. That green/green option was awesome then. Still
is today. I hope this isn't the end of the story for the
car you are looking for.

So do you remember if the car you are speaking of was in the southeast?

I tried digging up old info on the dealerships, but they are long gone. I could not even find a mention of them on the internet. But thanks for the tip!

Ricks First Generation Camaro in Athens, Georgia has a 1969 Z/28 that is fathom green with green interior. It is a JL8 cross ram car but it has front and rear spoilers and a fiberglass cross ram hood. It also has the mini-lite wheels. I believe it has 4.88s out back in the 12 bolt. It is a sweet car, and since I only live 35 miles from Ricks, I get to see it fairly often . 69 Z/28 302 Cross ram Mini-Lites

Mike,

No, the car I mentioned was in PA. Maybe it's isn't the
same car. Sure hope not.

Jquin thanks for the tip... I will see if I can dig up that info.

Steve I appreciate the update. I guess it could have made it up to PA but I think/hope it is unlikely.

Thanks again to everyone for the info and your replies!

There was one on Ebay in the same color combo without the original motor about 16 months ago. Where you may be lucky is that the guy had Jerry MacNeish authenticate the car. You could give Jerry a call and he may help you . He may have the number of that owner who in turn may be able to put you in touch with the current owner ..a bit of a long shot but it's a lead

Its funny you mention that because I remember that car. If it is the same one, it had a vinyl top and was in Alabama. I contacted the guy that was selling it and realized it was not the car I was looking for. But when I saw it my heart skipped a beat and I and was ready to take a road trip. Thanks for the tip and let me know if you think we are talking about the same one.
