interesting to say the least. keeping my eye on this just to see where this car goes.

Just a question out of curiousity; if you completely restore a car to this level does the fact that it has under 3,000 original miles even matter?

Car has been around. I believe it is Billy Hahn's old car that he restored. Was discussed here on the Site a couple years ago. If a car has 300,000 or 3,000 miles, a frame up cancels all that. Again that is MO because what is left of the 3,000 mile car or a million mile car after a complete frame off/up??

----Well Sam,,,I generally agree with statements like 3000 or 300,000 miles, and lots of times that statement is correct. Im not sure about this case (havent seen the car), but with documented low-mile cars in general too many things can skew the history. Yes the car has been partially restored and more, but I would put a lot of value in all the original stuff that was left. Original interior is worth a ton to me personally. No way to duplicate that. Original ball-joints as stated in the add (if the add is correct) are very cool, as well.

I dont honestly think theres a stitch of original interior in that car. I like how he says he meticulously reproduced every item on the car to make like it was in 69 but that repro tag is a joke. Never had a plate on the front to begin with and the rear plate isnt even close to what a 69 pa tag looks like. Im no expert but wrong radiator cap and should have side terminal battery post on a late car shouldnt it?? I bet if i was there in person it wouldnt take long to pick it apart.

----Don,,,Although I was thinking of this particular Z when I mentioned interior, I was really more referring to original low mileage cars that have had restorations in general......Bill S

wow.. Another Philly car.. Wonder who the original owner was and what part of the city he was in?

[Steve Shauger]

It appears the car was stored outside so it probably needed a restoration, especially if the pitting on the engine pad and damage to the trim tag are any indication of its pre-restoration condition. To me mileage is insignificant based on what was required to bring it back. Great provenance and nicely equipped.
