Hi ooooooooooh. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif [/quote

I've been too Serious lately, no doubt. Can't wait till Arizona.

John,
I think you need to establish some parameters for these guys. There are a lot of high end and very unique Z28s lurking around here.

[sg1747]

I am not in the market for a high-end/priced Z. I am looking to spend around $45,000.

John

[iluv69s]

Hey John...so you're a towner..hehehe...I grew up in North Park...now live in Yardley....it's a small world....welcome and good luck in your search....maybe we know each other???....Max

[Jerry@CHP]

John,

Will be very hard to find a nice 69 Z28 with original drive train in that price range.

Jerry

[Stefano]

Remember there is a reason that other one was so Cheap, it was a Fake!!

From my observations... 45k will buy something along these lines...
Driver quality paint maybe incorrect color, repro interior, missing the expensive detail items 480, 837, dated DZ carb, no smog etc, possible matching numbers with aftermarket intake carb etc incorrectly detailed engine compartment/suspension...

If this is something you are comfortable with then by all means welcome aboard... buy it, drive it, and enjoy it.

If you decided you would want to make a car as described above close to correct sometime in the near future... it would cost you 30-40k min if you end up painting it.

John, I sent you a PM. Sam http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

X77 designates a Z28 non style trim. Although it was not stamped on the trim tag until 12B it was still a X77 base Z28. Also the back seat bulkhead would be marked X7 which designates X77.

[firstgenaddict]

Thanks Steve the bulk head has the X7 in yellow grease pencil...

[Jerry@CHP]

The X1, X3, X7, X2, X6 codes were actually internal plant codes to aid assembly workers when building the cars. Eventually these codes were phased in on Norwood trim tags in early Dec of 1968. The large Norwood trim tags were phased into production late Nov 1968 before X codes were added to them.

Jerry

[Salvatore]

My (11D) car has DG3 on the bulkhead. Found a couple others written like that. Must have been the same shift or person. Car is Fathom green with a dark green interior.

[John]

sent you a PM
....Merry Christmas! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[sg1747]

Has anyone seen this car around?

Thanks,
John

John,

Looks like a car that I certified in New England. Any data on the drive train? The trim tag is real.

I just sold a Le Mans Blue with black deluxe RS Z on ebay . it had a NOM motor and trans but the units were rebuilt... pretty much original paint with one scrape and a few minor lower fender rust spots. Original glass, interior .Flat hood with dealer added rear spoiler. Needed to be put back together and it went to reserve in less than 48 hours (22k) and I stopped the auction and sold it to the high bidder who made me an offer .. got 5 emails form guys that were watching the auction waiting to go in at the final hour. Probably cost myself some dough but I got just shy of 30K for the car and am still getting asked about it... so though that yellow Z for 67k is not an RS if it is as nice as it looks in person and #'s I think 67K is not a bad price. May not be a steal but not bad at all IMHO.

And it shows in this car. Very nicely done award winning Z. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[enio45]

You cannot restore one for that price - i think its a very fair price!

[LITTLE TOMMIE]

thanks for all of the good thinks said about my car, the people who have seen it do know i took a lot of time making it as nice as possible, but the price is 62,000 OBO NOT 67
more money would be nice for her college but i am just trying to be fair
thanks again
LITTLE TOMMIE

[LITTLE TOMMIE]

P.S.
sorry to sg1747 for high jacking his post!!!!!!!!!!

[sg1747]

thats ok you have a very nice car.

john

[Steve Drueck]

Sorry for being OffTopic. Tom does a lot of time consuming things to make a car extra nice that you might only find on a high buck resto. Very nice car, Lil Tommie. Highly recommended and fair price.

[hvychev]

Dteve Drueck, are you the guy that owned an orange 1970 LT1 Vette that used to hang with the North Show Corvette Club years ago?

[Steve Drueck]

Nope, had a BB RoadRunner that I bought new in 1972 but raced a street stock 68 Chevelle L78 4 spd at the Grove. Home base was called "the Lot" (original huh...) After 1979 the Challengers and Cuda's went, Chevelles too, and it was all Camaros.

[hvychev]

I didn't mean that many years ago! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Ok, my mistake. I remember a guy that used to cruise with our group in the late 90s and I thought that was his name.

You would have been surprised how much you could have brought the lacquer back on this car! I would have done that dropped a period correct day two sat night special motor and some yellow lakewoods, torque thrusts... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/drool.gif
