Since there seems to be a lot of interest in "barn finds" lately, here's another one for you.
I found this car about a month ago and completed the purchase of it last week. It is another previously undiscovered '67 Z-28 that has been sitting in storage since 1987. The previous owner bought the car in 1981 from Dahmer Chevrolet in Independance, MO and drove the car for a few years until deciding to start a resto. Well, kids and a divorce got in the way and the car sat pretty much undisturbed for the past 19 years.
It is a factory Tuxedo Black car that is nicely optioned with black deluxe interior, console, tach and gauges, fold-down back seat, all tinted glass, am/fm radio, rear speaker, rear defroster, style trim, and a 4.56 posi! As will see from the pics, it got the full day two treatment with chrome, Accel coil, traction bars, cowl hood, spoilers, Z-28 emblems, etc. The original block is out of the car for safe keeping and there is a fresh '68 302 short block in the car with the heads, distributor, intake etc. from the '67 motor on it. Tranny and rear are also original.
The car should be here by mid-June and I'll complete the disassembly and then I think it is going down to PA for a little resto work http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif
I am going to start researching the car's history shortly, but so far I know that it started out in the Topeka, Kansas area and was drag raced when new. Enjoy the pics...
