Re: '69 Z28 EBAY
Well, I am not a fan of bashing cars... but the way this one is misrepresented sure leaves the door open.
Where to start. Chance the engine block was cast Feb 5 and not assembled until March 21: somewhere between slim and none. Possible? Yes. Likely? No. How does an unrestored car get a Ford Caution Fan sticker on the shroud? Car is indeed a special paint car, but came with white vinyl top. That means this unrestored original had the little pegs for the vinyl top trim ground off. Undercarriage looks to have been hit hard with a rattle can. If it were truly an unrestored original, there would be plenty of overspray. Radius on the rear strips by the back window is all wrong. Grill should be silver in the egg crate portion, and painted body color on the surround. May be just poor lighting, but the gas tank appears to have been painted flat black. Where did you get a pic of the trim tag? I don't see one on the auction listing. If I were selling a true original car with the original motor and trans, I would be darn sure to post clear pics of the pad stamp and partial vin stamps. Proceed with caution.

Re: '69 Z28 EBAY
Yes it has a bunch of crap wrong with it but if it has the orig engine I would love to have it. I look at radiator, deep groove pullys, rad cap, cowl induction seal that is not on inside out and all those options, guages, console, rosewood, power windows, remote mirror,chambered, deluxe interior. Cool car that has potential. Need to see the engine #'s though.

Re: '69 Z28 EBAY
Does it look like the deck was cut lightly? but preserved the stamp?

yeah over about as far as the DZ and date - thanks firstgen unless someone will vouch for the stamping as a legit looking LA stamping...is it an SS350 Los Angeles car, 327 car perhaps? i am a bit put off...anybody else? |
