Barn find 69 Z28

[chads454Ls6]

Found a 69 camaro z28 still with the original owner and has been parked since 1979. Car had the protecto plate and some other paperwork with the car. The original window sticker and dealer invoice are toast compliments of the friendly neiborhood rat that was living in the car! It is cortez silver,black stripes (all original paint),x-77 with front and rear spoiler,fold down rear seat,am fm 4 speaker,underhood and trunk light group,console with gauges,grab bar and woodgrain,410 rear and most importantly cowl induction. body is in mint condition with only a few spots that will need attention. Car was purchased brand new at midway chev in St. Paul Minnesota. The owner raced the car and did the typical mods,is still checking to see what he might have laying around that is original to the car.I was going to see if Darren x-33 could post the pics on photoshop. These cars are still out there! This is the 2nd original paint car i have found and purchased this Year.

Since I have known Chad one of his biggest dreams has been to locate and own an original Cortez Silver Z-28. Glad to see his dream finally materialize. Between this car and the Cortez LS-6 it looks like there will more sleepless nights helping him restore them. What are friends for, eh? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

He was recently accused of being a flipper on another site. In his defense I will tell you he could have stole this car (spelled cheap) but gave the owner twice his asking price. When I asked why, he told me he did not feel right taking advantage of the guy. He always wanted one and was prepared to pay it. I have to admit, I am envious of this guy. He sure knows how to find them! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

Very Nice Find.
Did you really have to pay almost $2K for it??? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I couldn't have said it better myself Rick. No doubt a stand up guy.

[Stefano]

I heard that he even pays up for T-Shirts!

Congrats.

[Late BrakeU2]

Anyone this passionate deserves the reward for the hours(and frequent flyer miles)invested in hunting these down.

Since he is on cloud nine would now be a good time to tell him that LS6 coupe he spotted in the sub garage next to mine was an original paint unmolested fully tissued car I bought from the orignal owner for 28k? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[Jim Mulvey]

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

[chads454Ls6]

Thanks for all the comments. Mark,what is the story on that car? You were going to get back to me once you spoke to the owner of the car. tell me all about it http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

I'll vouch for that. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Cortez Silver is definitely a killer color for a 69 Z, but then again, there's no bad color for them!

[Stuart Adams]

Unbelievable. Cortez silver - awesome. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/Can-I-Have-It.gif

Just pullin yer leg,have yet to get in that vault and take a closer look.The guy who owns all those has forgotten more of his collection than I have dreamed of. I ran into Brad Pitt at the Spitfire,he want's to know when you are making it out west again for lunch.I told you were a man on a mission scouring the country unearthing cool rides,and pitched him for a new reality series based on "The bounty Hunter".It's going open with you busting down barn doors with doctors bag full of cash,a flashlight,and some silly putty! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif

[chads454Ls6]

52 thousand rounds,stefano,i should get free shirts now that i am tracking nickey cars. jeff,2k is 4 times what i paid for it lol. And as rick said, I wanted to give the guy a fair price as he was clueless to the value of the car.I do not feel right stealing a car from a guy that does not know the market. same with the ls5,i did not pay market value for the cars but could have bought them alot cheaper.For me it was about the originality of them and the fact that they sold new in MN. Very cool

[chads454Ls6]

Mark,tell brad he will have to wait until i make it back.I thought you could be telling a story when i heard 28k but you never know. You got that cool pilot car and once rick get his hands on it,it will be one of the best

Chad,

Congrats...I got the "Bounce" brewing for you. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

Cortez Silver LS6 and Z28....life is good.

Dan.

[chads454Ls6]

Forgot to mention,this was lying on the roof. what is it?

[chads454Ls6]

Can you bounce with me bounce with me?

[firstgenaddict]

That is NICE... do you think you can save the paint?
The Black Z28 looked about the same, it polished up very nicely.

Man I am envious... that is going to be a FUN little project, just waiting to see what you will discover next... I was yelling to the wife at 2:00 am... she comes runnin thinking I am hurt... and I say... look, you gotta see this AS I point to an inspection mark... LOL

She was NOT amused!

[hvychev]

The things that are found by members of this site never stop amazing me.....amazing..... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif

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

[chads454Ls6]

The paint is so thin that yo can see the primer. it is not like my red chevelle but alot less dents. funny how that works.next car is a 70 hemi cuda coupe that is original owner! There are many carsa left we just need to find them.

[chads454Ls6]

I forgot about that car! Same deal, Chad was offered the car for considerably less than he paid offering the owner more money knowing it's true value even knowing there was no one else who knew of the car. I don't know too many flippers that do that! Thanks to Chad, I now lose sleep knowing that I only gave $4000 for the 100% numbers matching, all paperwork '67 SS427 Impala I bought four years ago from the original owner. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

very nice find chad, well optioned Z, tou got to wonder how well A 302 4 speed with 4:10s would do in the snow with those tires ha! ha!

Great stuff Chad....congrats!!! .

Quite the squeeze getting a Small Block in/out of any Camaro trunk....you'd sure never be able to do that w/ a 'Cuda!

Nice find....just curious on how the car was found. Was it advertised or a word of mouth find...? What are the tires on the front of the car?

Thanks,
