I saw that car in April of 1996 when I drove to Gallatin, TN to buy my Deuce from Johnny G. Frankly, I barely glanced at the Z because I was in shock about what I was about to buy with borrowed money!! Johnny was going on about the Z and the story, and the options, and the color, but....

Chrome dip stick? It's a very nice car. He's petty close to Bowling Green. Do you think he would bring it to SCR21?

Just watching the video, there are a few things that jump out at me. Repop rt ft fender? (it looks Chinese dipping) and cowl tag doesn't look right to me. I may be wrong though.....

The cowl tag looks good to me.

I'll also agree with the whole "Barn Find" thing.....although some of the "discovered" cars were/are hiding in plain sight. Sometimes the original identity has been disguised with a color change or even a model change. '67 Z/28s that had been badged as SS', Yenkos stripped of their born-with features, stock appearing cars that had significant race history and then were detuned/repainted and sold; thanks to some clever sleuthing some important cars really HAVE been discovered.

Cowl tag looks okay, not that it means all that much on a Van Nuys car. I'm not 100% convinced of an original paint claim. I see the white stripe paint under the cowl which is correct and rarely done on a restoration but the rear stripe isn't correct and I believe the spoilers were added. This early of a build I believe should still be a short spoiler, and I don't see the corner support brackets on the front spoiler. Decal in the door jamb is gone.
Still doesn't take anything away from the car, very cool, I like it. |

Couldn't agree more on the term "barn finds" having been overused and completely exhausted. Jerry Heasley writes for MCR and I think he uses that phrase on every single car that is discovered now days
And what's with the staged video's that keep being made with every garage door that opens these days. It's like everyone wants to be part of a television gig on the History Channel. This poorly produced video is a perfect example of why they should stick to photographs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWP7l2AwcW8
