Yes, it is a very unique and desireable car. The question seems to be to the claim of it being a factory built crossram, JL8 Z28 conv. From what I have read, the car was built on the assembly line as a conv with the Z28 option and issued a POP showing the Z28 engine, trans and standard rear. The car then had the crossram, fiberglass hood and rear disc added in engineering or some department. Estes used the car for some length of time before Chevrolet took the car back, removed the crossram, hood and rear discs and sold the car in standard configuration to an employee. The car was restored with the crossram, hood and rear discs. That obviously adds value to the car, but claiming it was factory built that way becomes questionable. A very rare and unique car. And if I got anything wrong, please correct me.
