My new "barn find" '67 Z-28 :)

[Zedder]

I just picked up this previously unkown '67 Z-28 and thought that I would share a few pics. It is a one-owner, fully documented car with original drivetrain and body panels, etc. It is Butternut Yellow with black stripes and has a number of neat options: Black deluxe interior, console, tach/gauges, am/fm, fold down rear seat, tinted glass, shoulder harness belts, deluxe seat belts, J56 metallic brakes, factory cowl plenum breather and headers. It has had one repaint in the late '70's and was delivered new in AZ.

This is how it was found...

VERY NICE FIND AND PURCHASE MARK! Glad to see another rare Camaro, such as the 67 Z, saved and going to a good home. It has some nice options too, especially the cowl plenum. Congrats! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[MosportGreen66]

Congrats! That is way cool!
I'm Jealous!

[Jeff H]

Nice find! Was this car in Can or the US?

[1967Z28]

Great looking car, Mark. Love the color combo. Congratulations!

[Xplantdad]

Hey Mark,

Congratulations! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

This isn't the car that I sent you the information on, is it? Actually now that I think about it..I think that car was blue http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

When you get time...share some more information on your http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif find. I hope everything else is going okay, also! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[Zedder]

Thanks a lot guys http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif I appreciate all of your comments.

Jeff, the car was bought in AZ, went to the UK for 3 years, and then back to FL where I bought it.

Yeah Jon, the colors are pretty cool and I love the deluxe interior.

Thanks Bruce. No, this isn't that car - this one is real http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif Everything else is getting better...thanks for asking

I will share more details when my Fedex pack arrives next week with the 4 file folders of info, pics and receipts! Gotta love one owner cars! The story the owner told me was that he had been to an SCCA race at Limerock and saw the '67 Z's running and fell in love with them. A few weeks later he was at a Chev dealer in Chandler, AZ with a buddy buying an L78 Chevelle. After the deal was done, the sales rep said that since he had made his quota for the month, he could give him a great deal on something and then asked what he wanted. He said a Z-28, but the sales rep had never heard of one. So, they pulled out the order guide and built the car. He said that the list price was about $4,050 and he got it for $3,450 from what he remembered (he has the bill of sale in the pile of papers but didn't double check). In the late 70's he was stationed in the UK and then came back to Florida in '83 and the car has been there ever since. The car was always a street car and never raced. It ran when parked 7 years ago, but will get a fresh rebuild during the resto. I'll post more pics and info once I get them, but here is one more shot showing the extremely rare shoulder harness belts.

Thanks again everyone. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[Xplantdad]

What a great deal, Mark...Good to hear everything else is cool, too! Have a great weekend. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[1967Z28]

Hey Mark, it looks like the car has headers. Was it ordered with factory headers?

-Jon

[COPO]

Very Cool! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[Zedder]

Jon, Yes it was according to the owner, but I am not sure if the ones on the car are original or not as I haven't seen the car in person yet or all of the paperwork. Given the options, I think the guy was torn between an SCCA wannabe car and daily driver http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[1967Z28]

Bet you can't wait for that FedEx package to show up. Again, super nice find! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[KNAPPY]

Good find Mark, Its going to a good home. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[CTinCT]

I wouldn't take that car. It's missing a headlight.

[Lynn]

I am so jealous. Some of the best times I had in high school were riding around in a Tahoe Turquoise 67 Z. White stripes and black vinyl top. Console, black custom interior. Absolutely gorgeous car. And what a terror on the street.

What a find.

I was fortunate enough and Mark found one for me too. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

All I can really say is...WOW! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif

Looks like a stock Muncie shifter and ball.

This gives new hope to all those still looking for rare,barn finds.

I guess they're still out there...

[Zedder]

Thanks guys...and thanks for looking for the LT-1 Bruce http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

How come as I get older, I appreciate the unrestored cars more and more. I still like a nice, fresh restoration, but cars I uses to think needed restoring I now appreciate for what they are.

There is alot of truth to what you said and I have also noticed that my perception of things have changed by getting older. The bottom line is, we all love musclecars! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[69RSZ]

nice car mark,are ya keeping this one? wanna sell it http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

[Zedder]

Actually, I unexpectedly lost my job earlier this year and panicked a bit and offered the car to a friend during a weak moment. I gave him 3 months to raise the money which ends on Octboer 14th. If he declines, then I am keeping it as things are looking better financially now. Ironically, I just bought another one this week which is the same color but with a black top http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[Xplantdad]

Glad to see that things are going much better, Mark. You weren't panicked...just concerned...I'll keep an eye out for that LT-1 for you...though I don't know if I'm going to Pavillions this weekend...work, ya know!

[Zedder]

Thanks Bruce...I appreciated your thoughtfulness when it first happened and appreciate your comments now too http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif I had never really thought that this would happen to me, so it really caught me off guard. I do believe it's time to become my own boss http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

Yeah Tony, I've been pretty lucky at finding them lately. This last car is my 7th http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif and I'm working on 2 more http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

OK Ron, but I don't think I will be selling either of these two anytime soon. I really wish I had never offered the project car to my friend, but I won't go back on my word and back out of the deal. There is a '67 Z body for sale on Camaros.net that I used to own...Marina Blue on blue radio delete with a 4.88 rear...

[69RSZ]

I understand,thats cool something might show up hopefully before i die http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif im not looking for just a body.what you have with the drivetrain is what im looking for.post some pics when its done.should look really nice all restored. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[Zedder]

Will do Ron...if I get to keep it. It should look just like my new car minus the vinyl roof http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Jonesy]

Mark

Or you could store it in my garage... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

I might have something else coming your way Mike http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif Don't forget, I have that smog pump you are looking for, so don't buy one.

WOW! What a stunning car!

Thanks guys http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif Yeah, I really like this one also. Here's a shot of the original motor.

Mosport, I own 2 currently and have owned 7 in total, plus turned another 5 or 6 over to friends who were looking when I wasn't prepared to buy.

[Jonesy]

Patience Bruce! Based on what I know about the car today, the write up would suck! Let's see...it would go something like...A guy I know called me up and offered me his car. My buddy lived nearby and went and took a look at it for me. He said it was nice and had the original drivetrain, so I bought it. I understand it is originally from Kansas....

See, it sucks! Give me a few days and I bet it gets much better http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Here's one on ebay that just went up today. Says it's unrestored original. Non orig trans and rear??

Awesome cars Mark. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif Someday... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

FWIW, I'd trade all of my camaros for an original 67 Z/28.

Is that vinyl top one the same car that was on eBay about a year ago? It was also butternut yellow with a black top.

Great purchase Jonesy! A 67 Z/RS, very hard to top that! Have any current pictures since the photo was taken in March of this year? Restoration progress in motion?

[Zedder]

You'll get one someday Jeff! No, my car hasn't been advertised for over 20 years I believe.

[Jonesy]

Mr. T

I havent done anything except get numbers/codes off it. The previous owner bought it in 1976 and it sat in storage since then. It was found out in WA, came from Courtesy Chev in CA I was told. Resto could start sometime this winter. Just gathering parts right now. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif

[tirebird]

You all may be interested in reading the latest issue of Chevy Rumble. There's a nice feature on another owner of an original 67 Z28,..a guy who bought it after seeing an ad in Hemmings in 1991.

[resto4u]

Jonesy, i have had mine know for about 4yrs. and i am still looking for parts and researching it's history. And the 3911 carb is next impossible to find, and cost is crazy. Two years ago i paid 1200 for the carb. And that carb was used only on 67 302, and 396/375hp cars with K-19. So number of cars built with this carb is very low. Roger

Oak Harbor, WA to be exact. Roger, I havent even seen or heard of anyone who has a 3911 carb. There was a 3910 that came with my car dated 742.
