Default Re: Ebay '68 Z28

Devil's advocate: Carefully clean it up, find two old five spokes for the front and then leave it alone. Once it's been restored it's not a time capsule anymore and it becomes just another (yawn) rotisserie-restored '68 Z/28.

Reality: It's just not worth that big bag of cash unless it gets a rotisserie restoration. The auction houses won't let you park it on the property, let alone put it on stage until it looks like all the other rotisserie Z/28s. As it sits it's just another (yawn) slowly rotting '68 Z/28.

I'd go with the Devil's advocate!

Couldn't agree more Bill. You would be in the car 80k+ after resto,that would have been all the money for a 68 two years ago. Dip it in WD-40,put on the bumpers and extra stuff and drive her!

BTW it's local if anyone wants me to check it out..

When I first looked at this post and the car, it made me think of an iron I left in the fire about two years ago. I sent this link of the 68 Z on Ebay to a guy who has (had) an LA built, documented Harry Mann 68Z just to see if he was any closer to letting his go. I told him last time we talked that I really wanted the car and to please call me if he decides to sell. So he e-mailed me back this morning and told me he sold the car to the Floyd Garrett Museum. Major, major bummer! His car was a -- paint code, very late build car that looked to be Cortez Silver. The sad thing is, I could have probably put more money in his pocket than the FGM. Oh well, I guess it wasn't meant to be.
