Dusk Blue '69 RS/Z, Rare Blue Comfortweave Interior

[scuncio]

How nice is this one...I've only seen a handful of these with blue deluxe interiors, and they are stunning.

Supposed to be the original engine, and to me the TT looks good although the loss of paint around the rivets suggest it has been off the car at some point.

Should have the rocker trim, no?

Anyone know anything about this car or the seller?

[NorCam]

Yes Tony...should have rocker spears on it.

I just looked it over and it's a great looking car, especially with that deluxe interior. Looks to have most of its correct parts throughout (trans is date matched?) and presents very well. I'd wanna see the numbers and ask if there are any docs to accompany the car, but definitely, one of the best RS Z/28's I've seen for sale in a while. The description sounds honest and it includes original YH wheels with Sportscar tires! It's going to fetch some coin for sure.

I think that's about the only way to keep BFG Radial T/A white letters from turning brown - leave the blue coating on them. :rolleyes2:

Should turn them in. Back walls look better than those fat white letters on these cars, as they aren't even close to original.

[bergy]

Description says engine is numbers matching. Then says heads and intake are “original to the car”. Have to wonder if the seller is making a distinction between “numbers matching” and “original”?

Eye of the beholder - I'm not crazy about solid blackwalls with stock rims - too much blank sidewall for me. The T/A's aren't as big and blocky as some of them. Besides, the section width and tread pattern is nowhere close to stock anyway.

Those headlight covers need attention.
VIN 124379N630717

I have seen pics of stampings although the pics are not clear enough to validate much

I can barely make out the engine stamp is V0418DZ, rear is BU0407G2.
Trans looks like P9C?0A with a VIN of 19W3?????

Would be nice to have better straight on pics.

Hi I am just trying to state that this is what the engine came with and not from another car , I am trying to describe as best I can if you gentlemen have any questions please call me, I have owned the z since 1982 , and yes the transmission is dated for the build . Not the matching numbers one , original trans is long gone . And yes the bfgs still have the soap on them cause they are brand new. I’ve never washed the car yet . Also the sportscar 200 still have soap on them too . Any questions please call me and I’m still trying to post pictures of the numbers. Thanks Jonathan

[Danzo]

This is what i have. Need a much clearer shot of the VIN on the engine.
Doc.

[Jonesy]

I made a mistake on the engine pad and rear and defer to Kurt on the stampings.

I thought the pad looked good from other stamps I have.

[Kurt S]

Engine is a restamp.
Axle looks restamped too. That should be a gang holder stamp.

Nobody should buy an "RS" Z28 unless it has GM of Canada documentation of originally being an RS or MacNeish inspection verifying an original RS option. Period.

[NorCam]

Aside from the front end height, this one looked good at first glance, but like an onion...you just peel away the layers until you see what you really have. It's always suspect when you see a listing w/o proper pics of the stamps and a lack of documentation. That and the fact that the bidders are shielded should raise an immediate flag.

Some great detective work on this one.

I agree...

That is a tall order. One may never own one!
I bought mine and never did the above. Just a good inspection and I have a nice RS Z.
I would be very careful trusting what McNeish says. I owned a car once he inspected after I owned it, and he said in his report that it was an all original body panel car with one repaint. I had the car repainted, and both quarters and fenders were replaced.

Relying only on a document Canadian or otherwise which represents how a car was build/configured 50 years ago is not adviseable.


Many cars have been rebody/ faked based on documentation. Don't get me wrong its great to have but its only one piece of the puzzle . Ownership history and physical inspection are also critical to confirm cars pedigree.


There's a wealth of information out there and many member on this site as well as others can help and may be able to perform an inspection.


Painted engine, pad blurry pics, lack of documention and history are red flags ....

[Mr70]

Agree,all a Canadian Doc does is verify the VIN,nothing more.
Early on,so many put a huge importance on a Canadian documented vehicle,that they stopped right there & didn't investigate any further,only to realize that someone can switch a VIN between two cars.

[1BADZ28]

I continue to be amazed at the wealth of information of the guys on this forum....I'm lucky that I found this site with all this knowledge. When asked, you guys are always willing to take time out of your day to help all of us understand the true condition of these cars....Thanks Guys...

[Danzo]

Will be interesting to see if the owner weighs in and if this info will be added to his listing.
May have a domino affect on retracted bids

The owner added this earlier today:


On Nov-27-20 at 07:58:20 PST, seller added the following information:Attention!!! It has been brought to my attention that the stamping on the components are very questionable and can be a re-stamp . I would like everyone to know , so that there is no confusion or heartbreak . Any questions please call me. Thank you and have a wonderful day

Of course you can't stop at just the docs, that would be silly. My comment is based on that documentation being the ANTE INTO THE GAME. Then you do your own physical inspection of the components. People that buy cars using only a piece of paper to back up claims are often in for a world of hurt. I would never recommend such irresponsibility.

It sure is a nice looking car and the seller now notes the restamp. Wonder if reserve is lower now?
