1968, Z28/44K miles

OK, over the past year or so I have come to appreciate the knowledge of the people who comment on this site. Therefore I would like your opinion on something.

Today in my business travels working in Boston, I came across a 1968 Original Z28. It has 44K documented miles, and has no PS, but AM radio, original tranny (M21) rear, and original 302 engine and is british racing green. Owner has owned it for 15 years and the engine is highly detailed, and has the smog equipment still attached. Original wheels, and tires as well. Body is in excellent shape and only one fender has been replaced due to a wreck in 1970.
Original owner is still available for comment and further documentation.Interior is in perfect conditio n as well. I, not being an expert, would call the car a #2 condition car.
The current owner (2nd owner) drives it about 80 miles per year and it takes up needed space in a building he now needs.

The car was originally sold in OK and the salesperson who sold the car in 1968 to the original owner is still at the dealership after all this time, yet is now the Sales Manager. He remembers selling it to the owner. Perhaps additional documentation possible here as well.
I was unable to get pictures at the time I stumbled on the car. He is asking around $40K for the car. My question, based on the limited information I have given you is, what is the car worth, and is $40K in the ballpark?
Thanks for your comments.
Mike

Mike, Without seeing it I love what you are telling me. If it is real and restored CORRECTLY and you like it......to me a good price. Especially with the documentation from all the people that remember or owned the car. 35,000-40,000 for a legit musclecar. Buy it!!! Thats my opinion. Its not a 69 but very desirable.

I own a 68 Z28 that is Diamond Certified. I keep an eye on the prices of the 68's. If the car is as you describe it is well worth it.

Well I have a minor update. I had dinner with the owners partner tonight. He said that the car is immulaculate (spell that right?).
He said that the owner of the camaro goes through cycles of sell, keep it, sell, keep it. He thought that he may be serious this time. The car is as nice as I described, but is not, (I do not think) an RS Z, just a Z28. based on this, and that it has no console, just shifter, , am radio, but rear spoiler, the $40K price is right for this car?

All of the car engine, tranny, rear, and all other parts are original to the car with 44K miles.
I will call him tomorrow and see how firm he is on the prce and if he is serious a bout selling.

AND if I get a chance to go out there I will take some pictures.
Top dollar for the car today is????_____________

thanks guys,
Mike

I just purchased a 68 Z last week. Same color, and sounds very similar in condition to yours. Mine has the Plenum option.
all the owners are still around too.
I paid $44K. And was happy to do it.

Early on, the desirable 1968 cars were frowned upon. Today, original, unmolested examples approach the value of a similar 1969 car.

I've always enjoyed my 68 RS/Z28 Driver.
