That would be a real fun project... It is so refreshing to be able to restore a car that has not been messed with.

Cool car!
Someone on this site needs to buy it. Original drivetrain with good docs, awesome.

Wow! Agreed... I'd almost be tempted to leave as is for a while and enjoy it before it really needs the resto...

Devil's advocate: Carefully clean it up, find two old five spokes for the front and then leave it alone. Once it's been restored it's not a time capsule anymore and it becomes just another (yawn) rotisserie-restored '68 Z/28.

Reality: It's just not worth that big bag of cash unless it gets a rotisserie restoration. The auction houses won't let you park it on the property, let alone put it on stage until it looks like all the other rotisserie Z/28s. As it sits it's just another (yawn) slowly rotting '68 Z/28.

I'd go with the Devil's advocate!

Couldn't agree more Bill. You would be in the car 80k+ after resto,that would have been all the money for a 68 two years ago. Dip it in WD-40,put on the bumpers and extra stuff and drive her!

BTW it's local if anyone wants me to check it out..

When I first looked at this post and the car, it made me think of an iron I left in the fire about two years ago. I sent this link of the 68 Z on Ebay to a guy who has (had) an LA built, documented Harry Mann 68Z just to see if he was any closer to letting his go. I told him last time we talked that I really wanted the car and to please call me if he decides to sell. So he e-mailed me back this morning and told me he sold the car to the Floyd Garrett Museum. Major, major bummer! His car was a -- paint code, very late build car that looked to be Cortez Silver. The sad thing is, I could have probably put more money in his pocket than the FGM. Oh well, I guess it wasn't meant to be.
