Well this one would sure cause a stir at the local cruise. I think it looks great. Not a bad deal if you don't care about the investment value. Does anyone know if this would have been a bolt-on swap or would the frame need some mods to fit?

Looks pretty darn good with the early 70s tucked bumpers.

I would drive it.

I wonder why they didn't use the RS front end after going to all of that work to convert it. I can't stand the short bumpers on the standard nose. Otherwise it looks nice.

Well. I never knew you could buy all this stuff new. I know it won't be a cheap conversion or a weekend job. I wish I knew someone who did this swap and how much time and money it took. Probably starting off with a 70-73 Camaro would be cheaper and easier.

I guess some numbers/body swap guy will be freaking out and condeming the whole thing. You could always find the build sheet and show it when selling the car. Of course some guy might buy it and try to pass it off as a real Z28, RS or SS.

THAT looks like a lot of work went into that - well done I think. I agree on the RS nose comment.
