My 69Z has had a Cross Ram on it since I installed it in the 1990s. Perusing ebay last night, I stumbled across this car for sale. Offenhauser setup, not factory GM. But still pretty cool!

My 74 4-spd Z28, I'll see your cross ram and raise you a cowl plenum.

From the auction wording...."Similar to how Mark Worman at Graveyard Carz paints his high end restored vehicles, this one was sprayed in base clear twice with a few years allowed before the 2nd spraying was done." A few YEARS between coats of base clear??? That seems just a bit odd to me.

It's a long shot, but did you have this car for sale a few months back? I recall seeing a black '74 Z28 with a cowl plenum up for grabs here in metro Detroit. I thought it was a great looking car! Rarely see the '74 Z's in black too.

I sold it about 10 months ago, it has sold twice since then, I last saw it for sale on Craigslist just before Christmas.

I know it's a long shot, but did you have your Camaro parked in the RIC parking garage 3rd floor?

Ahh okay, I've seen it floating around craigslist but it must be trading hands around the area.

But funny enough I'm sure that was me! I work in PDC (well, not since Covid) and drove it in on nice days. Not many Chevys floating around on the Ford campus haha

That's it, it was backed into a spot on the RIC side of the garage.
Even stranger is the day I saw your car there, mine was parked one floor above it in roughly the same spot, what are the chances of that.

Ha, what a small world. I've never seen your old '74 in person, but I have seen one other '74 Z running around near Ann Arbor. It was a dark blue and what looked to be in survivor state, but unfortunately it was driving and I lost it in traffic.

You'll probably see mine around again when we head back to the office, whenever that may be!
