Thanks Rick, I appreciate the compliment. You are right, I put a lot of time and money into the car locating the correct parts and spending time to research facts about the car. I was thinking of starting my own website based around my experience with the car. After talking to several folks I have decided to lower the price to $69,000 which I believe is a fair price for the car.

I will be looking for you at the next car show. Do you still have the original SS396 70 Chevelle? That car was very nice.

Thanks. I don't have the Red Chevelle any more. In a moment of madness I sold it. But I do have an Astro Blue 396 Chevelle that is all original except for the paint, documented, 114K miles, engine has never been out of the car and it runs like a dream. It's a little rough around the edges but I don't have to worry about getting caught in the rain.

Good Luck

Rick

Paul,

I'd love to make a move on your car, I need to make mine go away first... I don't know why that car has not sold yet.

Sweet car! does it have the sway bars?

The car has the standard 11/16" diameter front anti-rollbar and no rear bar.

Car appears sold pending inspection by a third party this weekend. I will keep everyone updated. Thanks,

Paul

47 Hammer, you have a very nice car, hang in there and be patient. I have learned that in today's market, buyers are looking for original drivetrain cars with paperwork and no excuses. These cars command a premium with the remainder of cars following behind. Original paint, Docs, and owner history are nice and do help though.

Have you tried to find the original trans? I am sure that would help sell the car. You have very good Docs and owner history with original engine and rear. In the past, I have seen a nice original LA built Z-28 with most all Docs, a documented CE warranty replacement engine, original smog, and remainder original drivetrain sell for about 35K. Other nice original cars have sold in the 32-36K range except for the 70 Z on ebay that went for 64K.

It depends on how long you want to wait. It seems once the 70Z's get over about 35K, the car needs to be original drivetrain and fairly low mile survivor type example. I would guess in the future, prices will go up on the 70 Z-28's but how long it will take I cannot say. Kind of like trying to predict the stock market. Good luck on the sale.
