I just saw this on e-bay today and of all the 1969 Z/28s I have owned this was my favorite color combination but you have to see it in person to really appreciate it. When I had the car it did not have the original vinyl top and the guy that sprayed the silver was one of the best that I had seen at the time. If I was old enough in 1969 to order a 1969 Z/28 I would have never ordered this color combination, it would have been black with black comfort weave interior. I also snuck in a picture of a car I wish I had not sold because I listened to my wife. It was a factory dash-dash paint code black on black 73 Z/28. My wife thought it looked like the Bat mobile.

Speaking of flat hoods, just picked up this Yellow Z today from the 2nd owner since 1974. That's him helping load the original paint flat hood into the back of the truck. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/cool.gif[/img]

Thanks Sam [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Sure Charley. I've got the hood priced a bit on the high side, but if you buy it I'll throw the car in for free. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

Bruce, we saw it on OKC Craigslist yesterday. Figured it was probably fake, but decided to go have a look anyway since it was close. When we got there and realized it was the 2nd owner and that he had owned it for the past 37 years, it started getting interesting [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img] He had the invoice from Adams Chevrolet, Norman, OK showing he paid $1895 for it in Feb 1974. The car has been right here within a 15 mile radius ever since. It still has the original drivetrain but was repainted in the 80's and the interior freshened up. And of course, just like most of us, back in the 80's he added headers and chromed the hinges, alt bracket, etc. But he still had the original hood, exhaust manifolds, air cleaner, etc. His wife was with him when we met at the bank today. She told me that the last time she remembered riding in the car was when her husband and other two children picked her and their new baby up from the hospital! Here's a picture I took of them today...their last photo with the car they called a part of their family. And a couple more from the Craigslist ad.

Very nice Jacquie and cool story. Way to pursue those Craigslist ads! What are your plans for it?

Nice looking cars! Here's one from the original owner of my JL8 car from back in 74.
