1969 Garnet Red Z28

[Charley Lillard]

Bob..For a no excuse car it has the wrong color grill, wrong leaf springs, rattle can black brake booster, inside out cowl induction seal, sits like a 4 wheel drive and there are close up pics of the trim tag, carb and seat belt tag but no pic of the engine pad stamping. Decent car but calling it a no excuses car is a bit of a stretch.

Thanks I like the stance also! If it was summer here in Chicago it would be one of my drivers. Having fun is the name of the game. Now if the Bears won the bowl you would really hear from me. Thanks for the input! No worries Bill you are good people!

I've never met you Bob but I like the way you handle yourself. You seem to have something we all could use.....a thick skin and a lack of whining. You didn't quit and take your ball home but hung around for some constructive (at least so far)criticism.

Now, Go get us some more pledges!

Speaking of ARGENT SILVER grills........any knowledgeable painters here with correct brand,#,type,product, to buy in either gun paint or aeresol ????????

I also notice that there is no front spoiler. I'm not critisizing here, I'm just wondering if front and rear spoilers were seperate options on a 69, or was there one RPO option code that gave you both if ordered?

The D80 option received the front and rear spoilers. If this car was built in May or after, spoilers would be standard.

I used the PPG 8568 on the last car I did, and liked the way it looked. Icould not get it mixed in Lacquer , seems PPG dropped the formula for it.
I used Acrylic Enamal, it was fine. You can also get this mixed in the OMNI line too.

As far as the Garnett Red Z in this thread, if it were mine, it would go stright to the rotiserie for the Love it needs !

Thats right don't take the nitpicking personally, ive sold many of cars just from the publicity it provides as you stated. Im sure the nitpickers cars can be picked as well.

We all love critiquing someone elses cars, don't we Charley. I myself looked over a Rally Green 69 Z/28 that was sold into Alberta from California a few years ago and found a few things with that one. Even more when I witnessed that "original" engine and "transmission" being torn down. But I guess I won't ignite that flame since that former seller did not load pictures of it here for me to hammer away at.

I wonder if I should look for the pictures of that car since I know I have them here? I guess if someone else coincidentally acquires those pictures and posts them here on SYC, I can flame away at that car regardless of who owned it and how they represented that car and it's sale right Charley?

Just curious about that one since no seller is perfect, and neither are many of these "no excuse" types of cars. Don't forget Charley, not every seller or builder has a thousand point benchmark car sitting in a stable of collector items like we do, and what many would consider a no excuse car to them (and thousands of others) might not be a no excuse car to either of us.

I guess it just pisses me off that each and every time i'm looking at something on this site, there's always someone flaming a seller, a car, an ad, or in this case, just a seller that used the words "No Excuse Car" in an ad. I guess that's what ignites a flame now days, is when someone describes and ad with a few verbs to help attract the buying public. Laughing my ass off at this one! Although not perfect, a nice car Bob. Good luck with the sale of it, and yes,it's nice to see you have thicker skin than some on here. You're OK with me.
