What a bunch o' foolishness!.
Note the statement made by the seller in the eBoy questions area..

<span style="font-style: italic">&quot;...The car appears to have a lot of rare and valuable GM parts Z/28 parts on it, whether McNeish would certify it or not...&quot;</span>

not that my opinion matters in such an esteemed forum of COPO owners but i'll bet any car ever made in the history of automobiles could be 'special ordered' under 'special circumstances' any way someone wanted their car built no matter option lists. for anyone to 'Guarantee' that a 67-68-69Z could'nt be special ordered or built w/an automatic tansmissions preposterious, probably (realistically)
20-40+ 67-68-69Z28's were built with automatic transmissions.

You sound like the owner of the car. Your car has already been proven to have a fake cowl tag and a fake protecto plate.

there were no 67-69 Z28's that left the assembly line in Norwood or Van Nuys that had an automatic transmission, ESPECIALLY any with a powerglide ...

this is not the only forum that knows the car is not anything close to what it is being presented as ... see above link

You should have built a &quot;rare' 67 Z28 with a powerglide AND factory air ... wow, think how more desireable that would be ...

not the owner of the car or know the owner of the car Jim, also not attempting to challange anything you guys say 'could' or 'could not happen', you guys are the experts not me, but my dad was a 9 level executive @ Chevrolet Central Headquarters (mid 70's-mid 90's), if he was around in 67-69 and a relative or friend wanted an auto in a Z pretty sure he could've pulled some strings and made it happen. out of 26,815 Zs made between 67-69 i find it hard to believe that not a single auto made it through the system. theres probably 'hundreds' of special circumstance examples of chevrolet musclecars that were built contrary to order forms. if r.penske wanted a 68 auto Z it would've been made.

Let's face it, if this were a real 67 Z28 1 of 1 automatic the reserve would be at lease 150k.

And if it was real, I don't think it would have a Powerglide in it....

Yes, GM already knew that the Turbo 400 was the HD transmission ...

total fabrication of &quot;facts&quot; by this seller in an effort to sell his clone / fake tag car

I agree that Chevrolet would have accommodated an executive, but some things were better handled at the dealer level - the factory had emission certifications to be concerned with for different drive train combos. I was also at Chevrolet Warren HQ - it was easy for us to mave around build schedules, and get certain special builds - but some &quot;favors&quot; were more easily accommodated at the dealer service level. If it was done at the factory on the &quot;QT&quot; - we probably wouldn't have produced a TT to document it.
