Taboo's 1969 Z28 92,000 mile Survivor/Find

I personally love that color combo (since I have one already) and would vote for a restore if it has the original born with drivetrain.
It is, however, a money pit of a car!

What about all the Racoon $h^t?

I could not read the engine pad, or get my fat arse under the car to check the trans. The rear had too much scale on it to read the code or date, so we'll check all that out soon.

Donate it to the Tech School guys and use it as a donation for tax purposes! They could build an NHRA F/Stocker. It would help the body shop students, the machine/engine and drivetrain shop and the interior/upholestry kids. May even set an NHRA record in its class.

Stefano...if you gotz the original block/drivetrain....fix it!!

The only thing missing is JL-8, that would be the best. That car needs and deserves a frame off resto.

where do you guys find these cars? i've never see anything like this in my part of georgia. I know if I had that car I would definately go through it. awesome color combo too!

Very neat car with colors and RS option. Did anyone notice the original tower top clamps on the heater hose? If the decision is to not restore, I wouldn't do anything to hurt the car. Someday someone should and will restore this car, just display it as is for now like Pro Team did with the red/red '68 L88 that was at Vettefest.

[/ QUOTE ] I found a 69 rs z28 on ebay in that same condition,missing the original motor in missisippi.in 2003,i think there still out there..

They sure are still out there. I was in Castroville, TX yesterday and passed a '69 Z28 at a tire store. I turned around to look at the car and an older man was the owner. He owned the car since the mid 70's and it was gold/green. It was a very original car, but certainly tired and not loved a tremendous amount. He allowed me to look under the hood and it was a Norwood Z, that's for sure. I tried to view the pad, but there was no way to see anything. He had no idea if the motor was original but he had not changed it since he owned the car. Just kind of a tired old '69 Z28 roaming the streets of Castroville, TX.
