THE LAST??? 1967 Z-28

current...floors

drivers side quarter...note small patch needed behind wheel ..similar issue other side..but probabaly half as small...this is the worst rust issue with car as far as I can tell...

BTW...I always thought that maybe this car was held up on the assembly line because of the 5C code on the cowl tag...this is the shoulder harness option that is even rarer than the Z option itself in 1967!!!! Therefore the 07C cowl tag date...just a guess???????????

Not sure what you mean

My car is an 05D with deluxe shoulder seat belts and it wasnt held up buy that. It will be interesting for me to see what your car goes for. I havent seen a project sell for quite a while.

Hey Jonesy...I'll explain...but, believe me I am no expert at all...so Please correct me if I am wrong..

I can't seem to find the book, but I remember reading that the Shoulder harness option was only put in 400 plus cars...which makes it rarer than the Z option itself...

apparently, there are atleast 2 known (that I have heard of)67 Z-28's with VIN numbers after this car, but both are 07B cowl tag dates..(not sure about this other car that has been mentioned here as far as the cowl tag date)...so I am just guessing that there must have been some reason for my car to sit on the assembly line while other cars passed by...I'm not really sure of the order of the VIN tag, cowl tag installation and all that..

so therefore I was thinking that perhaps GM only made a very handful of the shoulder harnesses for the model year..and they were searching for parts at the end...or maybe with so few made, they just did not work on the car for a few days waiting for the shoulder belts to arrive..which would have pushed it into the next week for the trim tag..???

But, now that I think of it...it probably got the trim tag first before the belts...right?? Is that How the workers knew what to put on???

Like I said..its just a theory...I'd like to know what others think...Any better ideas????

I believe the deluxe shoulder belts were super rare also...I guess your cowl date is in line with your VIN on your car?? Or is it a little late?? Your car sounds sweeeetttt!!!! What color??

Thanks, max...

I need to state that the owner of the highest known VIN '67 Z/28 known has never claimed it is the last and likely could not care less.

Body tag date is the date the tag was processed at Fisher Body; there was more than one machine producing them. In our CRG db which is in VIN order, 07B and 07C tag dates are interspersed. His car was built after yours, simple as that.

As there were a number of '67s built after his one or more of them could have been a Z/28. Of the 602 reportedly built less than half are accounted for. That is an enormous margin of error.

Hey Max...William is correct...and given the build process, your car wouldn't be assigned a later body number and ealier VIN due to a lack of seat belts. The VIN determines when the car was built, not the trim tag date.

I'm with you Jonesy...a Z project hasn't sold in quite some time. The last two publicly offered were no sales...Good luck Max! White is one of my favorite Z colors

William and Zedder,

Could both of you be a little more specific on the assignment of the VIN at the Fisher "Hole" on the Chevrolet side?

Please detail your opinion on the '67 Build sequence at Fisher, the lines that staged the bodys built immediatly on the Chevrolet side and why they were arranged in that manner, and finally the VIN assignment and the build sequence lock for final production.

Remember we are doing the '67 thing here not '68's or '69's.
