Great color combo!

It takes a pair for a restoation like that! It's going to be a AWSOME car when it's done.

Perhaps you recall a similar yellow/yellow Z/28 on the streets of Waukesha in the '70s-'80s. What a car-RS, black vinyl top, JL-8, ducted hood. Sat in the showroom at Dale Chev until April '70 when the owner of a race car chassis shop finally bought it. He kept it until '77 or so, sold it to brothers in Sussex who wrecked it. A friend of mine ended up with it, took off the vinyl top slapped it back together. No one noticed the front brakes were converted to single-piston. Ed C's BIL bought it; I managed to retrieve the front brake parts for him. He sold it a few years later; no idea where it is today.

Ray and I were just talking about that car this past weekend.

There is a Yellow Yellow 1969 Dale Duster L72 COPO too.

Re: 1969 Yellow Yellow Z28 RS project
 

There was also an orange/orange Dale COPO automatic. I worked with the original owner in the '70s and had an o/o Z/28 at the time. No one knew about COPOs in those days and I remember thinking his memory was a bit flawed. But former Dale employees remember it since it was in stock for almost a year.

BTW the yellow COPO received Z/28 stripes at Dale. They are known to have had at least two other L72 COPOs: Fathom Green/med green and Garnet Red/black, both 4-speeds. They received 2 ZL-1s from Gibb; #7 & #49. They raced #7 as "Li'l Brother Hugger" for a few years.

In addition to being one of the largest Corvette dealers Dale always had a good selection of HP cars. Don't hear much about Dale so I assume very little of it survived.

Re: 1969 Yellow Yellow Z28 RS project
 

I knew about the yellow / yellow Z28 from you. Bill Dale is still around and keeps an office here in Waukesha. I went to high school with 2 of his sons. One is into restoring vintage Porsche's and has a fair amount of Dale Chevy items. The other is quite involved with Facebook and Farmville.($$$$$$$)

There is still some people around Waukesha that worked there back in the day and have many stories that mirror some things you have shared.

I know where a Yellow/Black vinyl top with Yellow Houndstooth Z/28 is available. It has a 302 in it now that is NOT the original engine, but the original IS included with the sale. It is a running, driving car that basically needs everything.
How many interiors like that were produced? Any idea? If someone really is interested in buying it, I know the owner pretty well. It is located in PA. I'm thinking somewhere around $30k as is would probably buy it.

Re: 1969 Yellow Yellow Z28 RS project
 

Was Yellow a popular color at Dale? My father in laws nova came from there as was kind of oddly optioned.
