427TJ, Some of the more knowledgeable guys could give more info but I believe that the D80 code on the cowl tag didn't appear until later in the year. Maybe around 05 or 06? Thanks to you, Joe and Phil for your compliments.

D80 did not appear until May/69. By the way , regarding the VO329DZ pad, i have read that Flint Blocks ( DZ engines were all built at Flint) ALL had the 1/4" hex pipe plug in the front above the timing cover, which this block is missing.
Still a nice car though. Just my .25 worth. |

The D80 code did not appear until later in the year, and even then not all cars with spoilers got it.
I have no problem with the ad, nothing in it says original engine and it is a nice looking car, much nicer than mine (mine doesn't have the original motor, and it also isn't stamped with any assembly code). I only was only trying to put it in the context of being compared to the 112K BJ Z28 (which itself contains some less than original parts). If people (or just one person) feel that this car is a 50K car great. I'm just trying to get a feel for where the numbers matching (or original engine) and non numbers matching (correct engine) values are these days. |

That seems to be the big mysery Mark. Trying to figure out what an original #'s matching Z28 in great condition is worth. The way the Yenkos and COPOs have jumped this year, it looks like it's bringing up the rest of the cars up in value too.

Re: New GM Approved Crossram Manifold for sale!!
I doubt the engine is original. The stamping looks suspect and it is a 388 block. I have never seen a 388 block that was built at Flint engine. The 388 block was used at Tonawanda. This car should have a 618 block, I think it's a little too late for the 386 block. There are a few things that keep this car for being a $50K plus car, but it is still a nice Z28. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Jonesy, I think we have established the engine is not the original. I have had an offer of $50K to end the auction early from a legit collector which I turned down, so lets hope your wrong about it not being a $50K+ car https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif
