Before I traded my 70 Z28 in on the new 73 Z28 (see previous posts, above), I yanked the LT1 out of the 70Z, bought a 210hp 327 from a 67 Camaro, completely rebuilt it using an L79 cam, and dressed it with the intake, carb, and valve covers from the 70 Z, and installed it in the 70 Z. That's what it got traded in with, and whoever bought it thought they were getting an all original 70 Z [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img]

I had bought a beat up 69 Z28 in January of 73 to be built as a dedicated street/strip car. Frost green, green vinyl top, green deluxe interior, no hood, no grill, no engine or trans, wrinkled fenders, and (as I found out later) many pounds of Bondo included at no extra charge with the purchase price of $300. That's the M22 I bought from a 71 Corvette laying on the floor in front of the car.





Rebuilt the 70 Z's LT1 using the 140 off-road cam, Edelbrock Tarantula intake, 750 DP Holley, Mallory dual point dist, put the M22 behind the Lakewood scatter shield, and dropped it in. Picture getting everything bolted together to drop into the engine compartment....obviously I had plenty of help on hand, including my bride-to-be on the far right....











Raced the car in POS dress for a year or so. 13.00 dial-in was before I switched the orig 4.10 rear for a 4.88 and really started to get it dialed in. Eventually ran consistent 12.0's with a twice-best time of 11.98. Photos at Rockford Dragway, Byron IL, Sept 1973....





Tired of the ugliness, so had it prettied up a bit. This process is when the 'mucho bondo' was discovered....my good friend Fred who did the body &amp; paint had over 300 hrs in bodywork [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/shocked.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/cry.gif[/img]

I dug up this picture of the most 2nd gens I had in my driveway at one time. Early 80's, a summer morning before work.



Left to right:
70 Z28 M22, still own

73 Z28 A/c 4 speed, it was a &quot;restored&quot; car in that it was a car that had the back half replaced due to an accident, the car was originally silver, great summer beater with the a/c and the 4 speed, sold in the mid 80's to Clark Barton of Phoenix, have NO IDEA of where it went

73 Z28 no air, 4 speed. Original paint low mile car that was driven back to the Detroit area, sold and painted grey in the mid 80's. Have no idea of where it is now

74 Z28 Type LT, 4 speed a/c. Super low mile car at the time (30k ish). I still have the original front plate for this car if anyone knows where it is, I do not

This was my 1st Nova. A 72 I bought from a buddy of mine for 250 bucks after he blew the engine. I built another small block and had a daily driver. Grenaded the rearend one morning and had another in it that afternoon (when your young you do that somehow). I pulled the limo tint and rebuilt the suspension front and rear completely which raised it alot! Someone had heated the springs before by buddy owned it. I got rearended waiting on a drawbridge to close over the Tennessee River and the little Nova was totaled.
