And you are talking about the same car at the start of this thread, correct?

Interesting car and details with original paint. I am taking notes and will make sure it gets logged for CRG database.

I could be wrong but I think it is British Racing Green. Special paint note seems to be for stripe delete. But it is not fully clear to me.

Sorry for the delay on getting back with this post. I want to first thank Steve for letting DRCE500/Tom and I discuss the history of the Z28. Tom and I have had multiple conversations over the last couple of days about 68 Z28. I found out that the owner I bought the Z from promised Tom the first fight right of refusal when he was ready to sell the car. Tom having the same passion for the car that I do, I completely understanding why he was upset and hurt when he saw that I bought the car. I have made the same promise to Tom, he will have the first right of refusal when I sell the car.
Tom and I met in person today and had a long conversation about the car. To my surprise, Tom had the original POP for the car and was excited about reuniting it with the car. Now the car has the window sticker, order invoice, delivery invoice, original insurance card and POP! Other things Tom and I have determined; The car also came with the original exhaust manifolds and smog. We are unsure at this time if the engine is original to the car or a re-stamp with all original components.
It was wonderful getting to know Tom, he is a great car guy who had a reason to have been upset by his long time friend broke a promise...

Tom's situation reminded me of something that happened to me. A friend called me up many years ago and asked me if I could loan him $1500 to get a rallye green '68 Z minus engine and trans. The car was pretty nice other than missing the drivetrain. I had the money earmarked for something else but wanted to help him get back into a Camaro. I didn't have a place to keep it so instead of me buying it and parking it until he paid me for it, I let him keep it and said if he ever sold it I had right of first refusal. Yep, I was young and stupid. Next time I saw him, the car was gone and I never got my money. It still sucks pretty bad thinking about it all these years later.
