I like your silver one better. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
This one has very low miles, but not my favorite color.

[CamarosRus]

Hope "Someone" putting up $60K has checked this car out. Given the fact odo settings can be set anywhere, anytime, to any milage!!!!!!
Pics dont show paperwork, undercarriage, and many important resto items.......

The auction is not over yet! I hope the perspective buyers have seen the car in person before spending that kind of cash. I have not seen a 2nd Gen 70 Z-28 go for this kind of money on E-Bay before. The lack of undercarriage, document, and other detail photo's makes me wonder.

If this is the same one that was at Mecum a few weeks ago, I looked at that one very closely. It was described as a 23,000 mile car with factory doc.

[47Hammer]

I'll take a lot less than 60K+ for mine. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

[Pacecarjeff]

2 bidders fighting all the way up. Doubt they are real bids. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

[Jeff H]

There was a low mileage 71 Z28 that sold at BJ this past spring or summer for $87K or around that area. So don't be surprised to see these early 2nd gen cars start climbing. Low miles, matching #'s and good docs will run the prices up quickly. Add the RS and a good color and I wouldn't be surprised to see some cars getting near $100K within the next 6-9 months. But it sure would be nice to see more details on this car like the documents and stampings.

[Rick H]

You know I was watching this car and wondering why so much money with so few pictures? Then it dawned on me that if you showed everything then it will get picked apart and you don't get bids.

Well, I don't think the smog system is correct. All 1970 Camaro Z/28's I have seen had the code on a paper sticker not stamped liked this one. And the code was not "AF". It was "E something".

[47Hammer]

Was that my mistake? being open about the car and showing pictures of everything, I can live with that.

[427king]

Isnt the seller the same person that had the Briggs car at BJ ???

No, that's being honest. Something rarely found these days.

No, you're just like me. I end up telling every little detail I can think of and I know I've lost some sales up front because of it. But every car I've sold the new owner has been more than satisfied because they knew exactly what they were getting. My friend told me I actually talk too much and give too many little details. You'll find the right buyer and you'll both be happy.

Ok Jeff, I'm gonna have a chair pulled up to watch.... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[COPO]

Is that deluxe sandalwood interior?

[ohhawk]

This is the same car that sold at Mecum a few weeks ago for $57,750. Both missing some of the same emblems in the same places. Low miles, 1 owner, and lots of docs.

[Charley Lillard]

Man I like the patina of that trunk mat...

[RamAirDave]

Hmmm.... like seeing 70 RS Z prices go up http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

[Paul D]

The one at Mecum looked like the Window Sticker was typed with a Selectric Typewriter. I guess that kind of dates me.

[TimG]

I looked over the paperwork on the one at Mecum very carefully. Paul and I looked the car over and under.
Very, very interesting that the paperwork is not presented in the ebay add.

[1970ChevelleSS]

If I am not mistaken this car was from Rochester NY?

[1970ChevelleSS]

If it is the car from Rochester. I have seen the docs and it has a ton. I have also seen the car. The under side of the car is not restored but when redoing the engine they restored that and the engine compartment. To me if you are gonnna say low mileage urestored you cant restore half of it.

[titanium]

Yes I also think this is the car I seen at the log cabin(cruise night).I talked to the owner about it.I do remember some things that were not finished right on it.I think they redid the front bushings also.Actually, a few years earlier,we were down at the cabin with my 70Z and a guy came over and told me all about this,one owner-low milage, gold 70Z he knew about that had been bought locally and been in storage for quiet some time.

[Rick H]

Carmen,

Is this the car you and I talked about?

I'm trying to narrow this thing down because after doing some deep thought searching (yes, it hurt) I think I know this car. Just a quick question. Was the owner a dealer or repair shop by chance?

Hey, I think I know that guy.
Still waiting for some gratuity from him. I sent him two packages of NHRA memorabilia, decals, color photos, and race history for that Ray Allen, Truppi-Kling Chevelle.
Some people just don't give a crap, I guess.
Chip Gerst (Socalcars) please call me. Nine months and still waiting. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif

[Rick H]

Anybody else notice the valve covers are on the wrong side? He he.

Rick H.

[70 Forest Green Zee]

Seems as though the Z28 emblem is also missing from the front grill. All in all a nice car but not worth anywhere near the kind of money he must be asking....and I also own an all orginal 40,000 70 Z as nice or maybe even a bit nicer than this one. Just my 2 cents worth.

[/ QUOTE ]Not sure who owned it when it was at the log cabin but I think the shop that did the work on it was out in Ontario?Boy I wish I had a better memory.

[Rick H]

Yep, I knew that car was familiar.

[1970ChevelleSS]

Rick
Yes The car we talked about.

[47Hammer]

I was told the car sold off Ebay http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Yes Chuck, the car was checked out thoroughly, and the buyer (who by the way...was one of the eBay bidders) is a very educated collector of low mileage and original owner cars. I have personally seen the extensive paperwork on this car, and must comment that it presents itself with true authenticity.

It's worth noting that the new owner agrees the front end should not have been detailed as it is, and the little things that are obvious as needing attention will be soon be corrected and or cared for. Once completed, this car will join the ranks of some other prestigious pieces in a growing private collection.

Other collection notables in this buyers stable include;

1967 L71 Corvette - 6K Original Mile Bloomington Hall of Fame Car
1966 L72 Corvette - 39K Original Mile Documented Survivor
1967 Z28 Camaro - Registry Car Rotisserie Restored
1968 HEMI Charger - Mopar Nationals Overall Winner

Further cars not shown in the collection include low mileage 69 Z28's, Corvettes, a recently found 68 Yenko Barn Car, and other deals being pursued on both a low mile ZL1, and a very rare E Body Cuda.

In closing, I have known this collector for some time, and after 30 years of tickling his fancies, he is still on a roll! Any leads on true low mile survivor cars anyone?

Best regards....Tom

That's why I hate eBay and wouldn't buy bubble gum from them.

[mister_copo]

Yes the much scrutinized eBay has a lot wrong with it, and I only posted this to show that the bids were in fact real, and that the car did sell for solid money to an educated buyer.

BTW, whats the matter with buying Double Bubble from eBay? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif
