Default Black 69 RS/Z28 JL8 cross ram

Anyone know any thing about this car? I cannot find any info anywhere as to it's heritage, who restored, is it real, etc. Any information greatly appreciated.

69 Black RS Z28

Ditto on this one though this one sounds like it has lots of documented history.

Cross ram RS/Z28

The cool Can-Am Firenza decal rang a bell on the 2'nd one.

Rick,

Silver red Z has been discussed here before at least a couple of times. Biggest question was, why restore a 2000 mile car. Sits low.

&quot;why restore a 2000 mile car&quot;

Maybe they were 1/4 mile at a time?

If you completely restore a 2,000 mile car, then technically, mileage doesn't mean a thing anymore. The heritage and value of a low mileage vehicle has been defeated by the restoration.

Agree!
Not sure why sellers make a big to do about miles on a restored car. If its restored it does not matter if its 2,000 miles or 200,000 miles. I laugh every time I see that!
