1969 Tuxedo Black Z28 w/deluxe red PROJECT

[Tracker1]

Thought I'd offer this up here before I hit eBay with it. 02B (- - ) STRIPE DELETE, TUXEDO BLACK, RED DELUXE. Anybody who knows these cars knows how rare this color combination is - "very rare" according to Jerry MacNeish who documented/certified the car just this fall. Only drivetrain piece that is original is the 3.73 rear. She is a major rusty project but well worth it, given the combo. FLAT HOOD, Z21 Style Trim Group, 719 DELUXE RED INTERIOR, TUXEDO BLACK, STRIPE DELETE. Oregon title search brings it back to Owen Chev-Olds in Hood River. I have many titles from previous owners and have spoken to three - two of them (Orville Nickelson & Terry Bogardus) have seen the original build-sheet the one who pulled it from the tank and the dumb one who lost it - they both swore a hand-written note at the bottom said *DELETE STRIPES*. The sheet is supposedly in a Camaro parts catalog in Orville's barn - he refuses to let anybody but his kids look for it, even with a $1000 offer to help and another $1000 if found. Go figure.

I have a '69 Valentine's Day DZ short-block that has NEVER been apart and came out of a Z wrecked in 1972. It is an LA engine for this LA car and both cars were built maybe hours, maybe days apart.

I have a smooth driveshaft and a smooth subframe, complete with 508/509 mounts, brakes and suspension (along with the cruddy one in the car) that are California pieces. Have Shifter, a couple YH wheels and other odds and ends. This car deserves to be done - be the one to do it, and have the coolest-looking 1969 Z28 on planet earth! $18,000

Very cool!

[Pusher_Man]

Gotta love black with red guts. Plus being a Z and a stripe delete one at that. Very, very cool.

[Lynn]

Des offered this to me a while back, and I had a very hard time turning him down. What a great, unique car.

Des: are you certain it is stripe delete????? A black Camaro in that time frame may have been - - even if it had stripes as black had been removed from the rpo colors late 68 through early 69.

Any evidence of the "white out" under the cowl panel?
Lastly, does the 18k include the 0214DZ short block?

You are killing me (you and Dan with that sweet 69 L46 Corvette).

[iluv69s]

Jerry says it had black stripes?

[Tracker1]

Jerry wouldn't commit to it being stripe delete as a previous owner had actually painted it with white stripes so there is white paint in the cowl section. The "black stripes" reference in his report is a typo, I dont have his updated report scanned. I'm going by previous owners and the fact that 10 10 was being used at that time frame. There are 10 10 tag cars before and after this car according to CRG. The 18K includes the engine and everything, yes.

[iluv69s]

I did not think it could be black w black stripes... haha... awesome car...wish I was 20 years younger and had the energy I used to !! Good luck w the sale !!

[Stefano]

Kool project.

[scuncio]

Great car, very tempting. The rust doesn't look THAT bad....

[protree68]

Very cool project

[Tracker1]

SOLD. Thanks SYC.

[Edgemontvillage]

Congratulations on the sale Des.

[Tracker1]

And Voila! Casey had a nice job done. Certainly the right guy to sell it to:

[Mr70]

Wow that looks good.

[BJCHEV396]

Real good!!!

[Jonesy]

Wow, just 18 months after the sale too. :burnout:

[Charley Lillard]

It looks like the inside door pull handle is on upside down ?

[mockingbird812]

Looks real nice. Great combo. Like the no stripes. Nice stance. Had to add the x-ram!!!

[ZLP955]

It looks like the inside door pull handle is on upside down ?
Yes, and the spare wheel in the trunk is upside-down too. But what a stunning car, love it! Great job, and in such a short time.

[92646]

I am pretty much blind in my old age but does the car have a woodgrain dash on the passenger side?

[luzl78]

Do you guys think it will sell for 90,000-110,000 as jerry says?

[92646]

I hope so.

[mockingbird812]

NOM, no docs, but great colors and apparently a very nice resto that really pops - tuff to say what it will go for.

[Charley Lillard]

Why you would put a cowl plenum crossram on it and then a crossram hood without using a regular crossram aircleaner setup is beyond me. First time I have seen that. My guess is 140K+ based on looks. Even with the cheap Chinese brake booster. Pretty car.

[Charley Lillard]

Now I notice it is a reserve auction so my guess means nothing.

[427TJ]

Probably resurface in a year or two with spoilers and stripes!

[NorCam]

I am pretty much blind in my old age but does the car have a woodgrain dash on the passenger side?

No. All red painted dash and no rosewood dash on right side.

Strange, as the report I had Jerry M do for me noted the car retained its original booster.

[Charley Lillard]

You can get a shiny Chinese booster for about 70.00 versus sending out , paying more and waiting on getting your orig. booster done. Judging by the mixed up crossram setup it looks like it was restored for resale versus being technically correct. Shiny sells.

[Rick99]

I'm really confused. What makes this car worth $90,000 to $140,000 without the original motor or transmission. Yes it's a beautiful car that's been nicely restored. But I've seen quite a few real nice cars with the original drive trains for half that. I'm I missing something?

[Charley Lillard]

The Barrett-Jackson-free booze factor....And the color combo... :-)

[Charley Lillard]

I also didn't say it was worth that amount, just that it might sell for that amount.

Seen many stripe delete black Zs lately? Black trumps all.

[Rick99]

Yes I have. I've owned one for 40 years.

[Tracker1]

Yes I have. I've owned one for 40 years.

Then maybe it's time to sell it :)

[Rick99]

Then maybe it's time to sell it :)

That's exactly what I was thinking. Even though my is not near as nice as the one in this post. But I do have the original drive train.

Sounds cool any pics?

[Tracker1]

Sounds cool any pics?

Agree, love to see it!

Charley, please feel free to move this thread as I've broken my own rule of not commenting on a car thats already been sold

[Rick99]

Sounds cool any pics?

I'll see if I can dig up some of the pictures I have. The car has sat in my garage for the last 25 years and hasn't moved.

[Charley Lillard]

Can I have it ? :-)

[Z28L79]

Sold for $110,000

[Charley Lillard]

Barrett website says it did not meet reserve.

[Pusher_Man]

Rick99, what color interior is it?

Also, is it an x77 or non-style trim equivalent? To me that always looks a lot tougher on solid black to not have any chrome trim and gills and such.

It's a 12B LOS built car. No X code. Black deluxe with custom interior and black vinyl top.

[Crush]

Is it for sale?

[Rick99]

Not at the moment.

[Pusher_Man]

Sounds very cool rick

[the427king]

If it didnt meet reserve that means it was 200k or over car????

[Bobg302DZ]

I was there.. Reserve was 180K. Stunning car with one of the nicest black paint jobs I've ever seen. But 180? Really?

[luv2sixty9]

A buddy of mine restored the car and it took him roughly 6 six months. Beautiful car but not for the purist.

[TuxedoblackZ]

Hi guys..I am new to the site. I actually just bought the car this weekend. The gentleman did a very nice restoration on the car and the Black w/Red interior really is a great combo.

[BJCHEV396]

Welcome to the site.Congrats on a great looking car!

[Stefano]

Welcome.
