'73 #s Z/28, No Reserve Auction

[scuncio]

Pretty ballsy running a no-reserve auction in this market...but bidding appears to be fairly strong nonetheless. Neat car if you're a green-on-green type of guy...I like it a lot...thinking it will end around $27-28k. I believe the green interior, and maybe the riveted trim tag, will ultimately hold it back some.

Super clean looking car. Lots of bidding already.

4 speed hump is not right...that ring should fit nice and flat on the orig hump and its off to the side and bent...between this and those rivits i would look into it before i bid....

Looks like it doesn't have the correct intake and chrome oil pan added. 72 Z-28 engine still had the high rise aluminum intake but thought for sure Chevy went to the cast iron low riser and Q-Jet carb for the 73 Model Z.

Spoiler Z28 emblem was chrome mylar foil in 73.

That looks to be a fender emblem on the rear D-80.

Kind of a strange "cast" look on the engine stamp. Like the paint was made purposely rough.

I have had less than ideal results with the seller.

I like it a lot too. For 27-28k, if it is finished as good as it looks in the pics, I'd say that is a fair deal even if it is a clone.

I love the green on green.

Those cowl tag rivets. They should be screws on a 07E car for sure.

Yes indeed.....but you can bet those "incorrect" screws were removed and thrown away by some know-it-all who "knows" that all Trim Tags are supposed to be attached with rivets :stupid:

[Jonesy]

The screws can easily be replaced. Not sure about the 4 speed hump either.
Looks like a decent car though.
My friend had this exact same color combo 73z in high school. He is actively watching this auction. I hope he gets it and it all sorts out, he not really into mathcing numers and that.

This thread is exactly why this is my favorite car forum. Between all of us, we're able to sniff out anything that doesn't seem quite right. I learned a ton again this morning.
