Show and Tell, new toy

[Too Many Projects]

Some of you may have noticed how I am drawn to the '67-'70 C10's. Well, I just bought this "gem" of a project for a very good price...:cool2:
Love me that small back window..:biggthumpup:

[big gear head]

You needed another project.

[Too Many Projects]

You needed another project.
Like a hole in the head, but I couldn't turn it down for the price.

[scuncio]

Road trip! Congrats.

[dustinm]

Well bought!! Had I waited a week we could have convoyed!

Can you post up some pics when convenient, for the rest of us C10 enthusiasts?

Congrats on the purchase. Cool. Small back window and three pedals.
That's the way to buy a project: in pieces when you want it cheap.

I would be tempted to go V8... unless it has a 292. Can't tell from the engine shot.

[Too Many Projects]

Pretty sure it's a 250, but it doesn't matter. I HAVE the 292. I had this engine built 7 years ago for a 2.5 ton '52 flat bed that never happened. Sold the flat bed when I bought the roll back. That engine NEEDS to be run. Only run time is on the break in stand.
I'm considering another '67 in far west OK that is a roller with a better box and original front clip. YEP, swap engines and body parts and re-sell the roller as a driver with the 250/TH350 I have here.

That's a torque monster right there.

[Too Many Projects]

That's a torque monster right there.


.480 lift cam, big valves and .060 off the head with the stock flat top pistons for 9.5 comp, Clifford intake and Holley 390.
Builder doesn't have a dyno, but his build program estimates the hp around 300 and torque at 425 and he's built a LOT of race engines based on info from that program. He hadn't ever built a high performance 6 and had to laugh when he finally idled it down from the 2,000 rpm breakin and it has a slight lope at 650 rpm.
I've waited a LONG time to have a vehicle to put this in.

[Damien]

Very cool.
We used our BB version as a tow rig for the race car.

[Lynn]

Header looks awesome. Small, long tubes will really help the torque numbers.
Most guys go way to big on the tubes.

[Too Many Projects]

Unfortunately, I sold those headers after I sold the truck. NOW I wish I had just kept them. Lost my ass on them at a swap meet. Not a popular part people are looking for...:frown:

[dykstra]

Very cool! Congrats

[Too Many Projects]

Welp, I just bought this one too, for the box and front clip.

Time to sell some of my others...:tongue:

[scuncio]

That’s pretty clean! I also bought something new today, pics soon.

[scuncio]

Just got home. Unearthed a ‘70 Z that had been stored away in a Detroit garage for years. Pretty excited! More pics soon. This is the good side :-)

[Too Many Projects]

Wow, looks fantastic from this side. Really like the color...:cool2:

Nice score, love to hear the story? Where are you putting it?:drool:

[Too Many Projects]

I just saw the right side of the bumper and tail panel. Looks like it's tagged on the right. Hopefully just the quarter and not the whole side.
Jeeeeez Tony, keep us in suspense for HOURS !! I keep looking for that new thread.

[scuncio]

Here are a couple more pics with the back story.

I bought the car from the original owner's brother who bought it new from Merollis Chevrolet, just a few miles from the house where it had been stored since the 1990s. It's a neat car that seems to have one repaint in Shadow Gray, an all-original black interior, and its original M21 and 4.10 COO code 12-bolt rear. It does have a CE block that was installed in '71, and the smog system was removed and the tubes plugged, but otherwise it seems pretty original. It came with the POP but no other docs.

The body is really clean except for the passenger rear quarter, which was hit and poorly repaired, and hit again, along with a pretty sizeable crease in the passenger door. I'm going to hang a quarter on it and see if the skin can be straightened.

This is my first second-gen - I'm pretty stoked. I love how the OO ordered this car.

Find a clean southern door and an NOS quarter and you're in business. I'll shoot you a PM...
Seems maybe the original tires and engine only lasted 8,000 miles...:tongue:

[x77-69z28]

The original engine in my 70 Z project lasted 9100 miles. The CE short block wasn’t even painted by the dealer! After 8 years, finally painted and home in my garage. Was just in South Carolina picking up my engine. My engine builder is now suffering from dementia and is in a home. Thinking of using Merkel Wish I was smart enough to post pics, the car came out amazing! Worth the wait!

Very cool, if you want to email me the pics I’ll post them for you.

[scuncio]

Nice score, love to hear the story? Where are you putting it?:drool:

Unfortunately I’m out of room so it’s living at a buddy’s shop until I get the 71 Impala back together and out of the way.

[scuncio]

It’s an early car before the “Z” was added to the “28” code on the TT.

[scuncio]

The LT1 has a warranty block, but seems to have all the other original Z stuff including the carb.

The garage it came out of looks pretty cool. I grew up not to far from Merollis I can hear their radio commercials in my head

Looks more like Palmer park.

[scuncio]

Close, on the western edge of the Detroit Golf Club.

Congrats Tony.

[scuncio]

Thanks Darrell, good to see you posting here.

[RPOLS3]

Nice score - congratulations

[dykstra]

Very cool! Congrats!!

[scuncio]

Thanks! Going to do some work on it tomorrow. Wondering if it will run….

[x77-69z28]

Any luck on a quarter panel yet Tony?

[scuncio]

Zero so far!

[MosportGreen66]

Very cool find! Love '70 Zs! Congrats!

[x77-69z28]

Did it run?

[Steve Shauger]

I was looking for a Florida, it had AC, cruising gears and something I could just hop in a drive comfortably. Oh! and it couldn't have a base engine. There are a few things to sort out, but this car checks all the boxes. I will take some more pics tomorrow.

Looks nicer than you described! Very well done Steve

I love silver cars!

Very cool!:biggthumpup:

I really like chrome bumper C3s.

L46 engines kick ass.
Well done.

Haven’t had a chance to get back to the shop yet. I think it will!

[PeteLeathersac]

'Yes I checked that out before I purchased the car :). Great info and pics.

Congrats on what looks like a great '69 Steve!:headbang:
Did you see the pics etc already in the C3 Registry, maybe added by who you got it from...
