I'm excited to announce that Kym Miller has purchased his old Z/28 back from me. It's now going full circle back to Miller with the restoration being substantially completed on this its 50th Birthday. Kym will now be enjoying the car again after a 40 year hiatus. It makes a fitting cap on the cars restoration with it going back to it's original owner. Video of today's meet & greet to follow.

Just a little follow up with some video shot earlier in the day with original owner Kym Miller who was out for another visit and a short cruise on the cars birthday. Nice little clip of the car running after we put a tune on it. We've now had it out for a couple little shake down runs. Still plenty of little things we plan on detailing now that it's running but it's a right solid little car and will be fun for many years to come.

Yes he is. Kym factory ordered the car when he was turning 20. He street raced it for a year, then in 71 it became a Super Stock car and was raced every other weekend around the PNW. It transformed over the years to become a competitive SS/JA car in the west and he won a division title with it in 1978. Sold it to his best friend in 1980 and it has stuck around Alberta for the rest of it's life until I restored the car back to street trim. Yesterday was the first time it has technically seen the streets since about 1971. Kym had bought it back a while ago and I stepped in to help him out by finishing up the restoration in time for it's 50th birthday. Before months end, he'll have it home and that'll mark 50 years to the day he took possession of the car on May 27th, 1969. It's a cool story that has brought the car full circle back to him .

Might see this story in MCR as well as one other Mag that has taken an interest since learning about the circle of events.

That is a nice turn in the restoration journey.
Is he going to hit the track again with it though?
