Man-O-Man it is the year of the survivor! From camaros to NOVAS to chevelles, it does not get much better!

Re: Original paint Z-16 at Chevelle show
I'm not being critical of the car because Lord knows I'd be thrilled to have it in my garage, but what's the 90° fitting on the fuel line? Is that a standard Z-16 piece?
Looks like a bathroom plumbing piece I used a couple of months ago.   What's the mileage on the car?

Dennis when you get older all your plumbing is at 90 degrees.

Re: Original paint Z-16 at Chevelle show
When I get older I'll take note of that.

Re: Original paint Z-16 at Chevelle show
I had the pleasure of checking this car out at the Fall Charlotte swap meet. It appears to be 98% original save for a few small items. You really have to see it in person to appreciate it.

Re: Original paint Z-16 at Chevelle show
Unlike restored cars, the patina of survivors take you back in time...priceless...
Definately one of those cars that make you say "WOW" and mean it...I want it!!!

Re: Original paint Z-16 at Chevelle show
I saw this car at Chevellabration and this weekend at the Carolina Chevelle show. The tall slim guy with the blue tee shirt in the first 2 pictures is the owner. I don't remember his name but he owns two Z-16s.

Re: Original paint Z-16 at Chevelle show
The owners name is Jeff Helms from Concord,NC.
He's saving up to have it restored,but I think he should leave it as is...My 2˘ If you think this Z16 is nice,(and I do),you should see Tom Wrights all original 17K mile Z16......YEEEEEOWWZA!

Re: Original paint Z-16 at Chevelle show
Stunning. I wonder if Dave M. had seen/known of this car?
The "registry" info was only for owners.

It was a Weatherhead fitting used to adapt pipe thread to flare seal fittings.
