1968 Z-28 what's it worth???? please help

I think it's appropriate sometimes to pay more for a car simply because you want it! It doesn't have to come down to an IRR calc, because how do you put a 'fun' value on a car during your ownership. Just enjoy it

You didn't do bad at 27, its a cool looking car too...Throw a set of Wide Tread GTs on it and it would really have some eyeball... I love the blue guts, nice to see something other than basic black.

I have a set of 15x7 torque thrusts I've been saving for several years. It also needs some detailing underneath- new brake and fuel lines, gas tank, u-bolt and bushing kit, and maybe some subframe bushings. otherwise I'll be @ the next cruise in for sure.

Seeing the photos have me convinced its real. While documentation always helps the value, especially with a 68 Z/28, I'm guessing now that you have it back, so you'll probably never sell it. That alone should be worth paying a premium for it.

I had a chance to buy back my first Camaro two years ago. The guy wanted $12K for it (I had sold it for $1500), and knowing its history, and previous rust issues I dealt with when restoring the body 15 years ago, I new it was a stretch at what he was asking. (Original motor and tranny was gone; he changed the interior from parchment to black; and he painted it powder blue with medium blue runway stripes.) I almost bought it, but instead picked up a much cleaner Camaro for less money. Of course I now have three times that into it ... but then that's a different story.

Had my first Camaro been a Z/28 or an SS instead of just an RS, it would've been much harder to buy it back at any price.

I say keep the 327 in it for now. It makes it a much more dependable "driver".

The car looks good.

Does anyone know if the shifter boot and plate is correct in pic #7 ????? It's always been a non console car, even back in the 80's it didn't have a console. I bought the tilt steering column years ago, so it's not a tilt car originally.

..you did just fine on that deal....just look at the "Clone" cars that people are paying even more for....
..that car is beautiful

Yes the tire decal is still on the glove box

Without the factory 302 and Muncie, this is perhaps the only way to ID a true 68 Z28 excluding original documentation. I actually clear coated the original glove box tire decal on my Van Nuys car to preserve it. Like everything else, they're being repoped too.

Although many will disagree, I'am sticking by my origianl statement:.....Without the factory motor/tranns its no longer a 68 Z28.

Got my bullet proof vest on guys......shoot me!

Clean it up and bring it to Kevin Whitaker Chevrolet on the 13th of this month. If I'm home I will be there.

You can tell it's real by looking at the pictures?? I would be curious to know how.

Obviously not by the non-original 327 or the non original shifter. What tell tale signs convinced you?

Ok, the tire decal is in the glove box. Which tire decal?

The owner clearly stated the motor was not original and the Muncie was not matching and he wasn't sure of the rearend, the rally's are not correct.

A quick description is as follows: wrong engine-327 that looks correct- m-21 Muncie non matching##- I believe the correct rear but not sure. On a 1-10 I would call it a very nice 8 or very nice driver. The car is very solid no hit car original sheet metal with the exception of patch panels on the drivers side only. The car is not detailed underneath just spray bombed black the interior is very nice original and it does have 15x6 rallies but I don’t think they are correct.

Now, a set of pictures proves it's a real Z/28?
