Here's a rarely seen Palomino Ivory '68 - looks pretty cool in this rarely seen color. My '68 Z was also born this color from the factory and I've been reluctant to change it back...but this one may change my mind. I think the color would go GREAT with the Z/28 stripe configuration.

Back to this car - sure looks clean - how about that original interior? Wow....

Looks nice! Keep an eye on the VIN. I wonder if somebodies gonna buy it and throw a V8 in it, then try to resell it as original. I'd leave it alone.

Really like that colour, very classy and looks especially good in contrast with the black stripe and interior trim.

Not a lot of options but looks like a nice car

Bidding ended at $20,600 without meeting reserve

Well, in other not-so-surprising news, this one is being relisted after having been converted to a V8. Love the 1969 era "350" fender emblems...garbage. Sigh....

Dealer's webpage is asking $46k for it...no way, never gonna happen.

At least the original paperwork is still with it, and it appears no subterfuge is intended as the VIN remains a 123 and the WS still says 6 cylinder...

Good point, no fraudulent stuff here, just annoying to see a car that has maintained its originality for 51 years get swapped with a Goodwrench 350 and a few repop emblems.

Surprised they didn't sex it up with spoilers and a cowl hood. Rallys: check.

Wish they hadn't tried to sex it up with that nose stripe either.

Anyone note what the car sold for last year?

Wasn't the stripe on it with the original auction? That being said, it does not look correct, so probably best if it had been left off.


Yeah, instead of the rallies I would have left the dog dish caps, or worst case added a set of mag wheel covers. I'm kind of tired of rallies, and sadly, the N66 SS wheels are getting there too.
