This was probably a $4500 car in the late 1990s when I was going to college in Los Angeles...I miss those days.

Pretty nice looking, unmolested '70. Wish it were a 4-speed, but I'd live with the Turbo Hydro based on how clean it is overall.

Unmolested ?? What is this about ? Looks like the front clip and subframe have been off.

How so? Due to the fuel lines? That was the way they did it due I think to the subframe being rubber mounted they wanted a flex point.

Not that I've ever seen. Correct resto parts are all 1 piece...

My 78 has 3 points where rubber lines are used. 4 if you count by the fuel pump. Never saw all one pc. Of all places, classic has the most wrong stuff.

From the AIM....in the Classic Industries listing, that is actually the front and rear lines with the rubber hose missing. The L78's and Z28's had a single line. The photo of the car for sale is not a Z28 or L-78 so it got a return line also. By the way, the eBay listing has been ended early. Maybe he got upset that there was too much discussion about the fuel lines?:dunno:

Kinda felt that may be the case. It was the first one to come up and since it seems the rubber hose was dependent on model too...never say never.


I thought you sold your '67 rs Z years ago, the one in your signature a different one ?

Yes, sir I sure did sell it. I guess I need to update my sig. :)

Just to beat this a little further, now that I think a bit more and looking at the AIM picture a more likely reason for the two piece is the front line was probably pre-assembled on to the subframe prior to joining the rest of the car. Trying to install one long line to the car after the subframe was installed would have been a real pain.
