Re: What is this 69 Original Paint Z28 Worth
Exactly... Rick's sent 2 by accident and I have poured all kinds of chemicals in the second one trying to get it to yellow up some. (If anyone has an old bottle, I will gladly trade a brand new GM one for it)
I also found some used tower clamps and I am going to remove the new intake bolts for the originals that I cleaned. Found an older 515 voltage reg to install. Few more things but overall it is coming together pretty well. Parts needed Link

I predict they will be soon be coming up on eBay with hefty price tags! Rats, I need one too. I guess I'll have to use the new, too-white repro since the correctly-aged pieces might be out of my price range. Maybe someone can start a business that makes new repros look four decades old? Maybe fill it with ice-tea and set it out in the sun for a few weeks, then bake it in the oven on low heat so it doesn't melt? Just brainstorming here... (Yeah, small brains shouldn't try to brainstorm.)

Already tried tea... EXTRA strong and scalding hot... no dice! Coffee... No dice.

Re: What is this 69 Original Paint Z28 Worth
What if you submerge the whole thing in rusty water?

Re: What is this 69 Original Paint Z28 Worth
James... I have an honest question and do not intend to be malicious in any way.
The photo you posted a picture of is a low mile LT1 block pulled from a wrecked '70 Z (If I'm not mistaken). What evidence do you have that enables you to conclude the DZ302 you restored from your Z28 was painted in the similar fashion to the LT1. I am not saying the motors were or were not painted in the same exact fashion, I do not know which is why I am asking. With all of the surviving '69 Z28's around (my old car, KP's old 22k original mile car, the burgundy car I posted photos of a year or so back) why did you chose to replicate the paint off of an LT1 instead of a 302? Can you lead us to the source that explains the similarities? Like I said before, I hope this is not rude because that is not my intent. I very much commend you on your efforts -- have done so in the past and will continue to do so. Thanks. -Dan
