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.

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.

Tom...

mister-copo...just what are you trying to say ? Are you referring to a Rally green Z I had a few years ago that I sold in primer ?

I have no idea what you own but I have no "no excuse" cars and I certainly have no 1000 point benchmark cars.
Why does Supersports Z28 have a electric fan in addition to the stock fan ? Cooling problem ? I would like to know the excuse. Oh wait...It's a no excuse car.

And his "no excuses" comment I was referring to was in this thread, not his ad so I don't see it as just auction ad fluff.

Charley I have over 30 ASE certified mechanics at my disposal so dont you think if the car had a problem it would be fixed? Please go pick on another car. There is not much at all to pick on this one about!

I said discriminating not ANAL! Its a nice car! No excuses as I said. Unless you wanted to take the fan off and put the correct shifter ball on.

OK, I cleared up my membership hiccup with the Clary clan (thanks Tom and Rob) so I'm five stars all the way. Any smack I've talking since Jan 30th can now be considered "legitimate".

Please send one of those many SAE mechanics to find that NOS argent grille....

Is it being an @$$ hole to think that one of the camaro emblems wouldn't be even close to strait on a 60k car?....or the radiator hose doesn't fit?
I'm no expert, but would a 69 Z... have a 6000 redline tach?

It's a damn nice car..but to be the car that it's stated to be....it needs a little more work!

Thanks for all the publicity as It may have found a buyer who is not afraid to straighten an emblem and tighten a radiator hose if needed.
