69 Z Debut at spring Chevy Vettefest

DZ Fool · #1 03-09-2008, 08:32 PM

I am trying to get my Z ready for the spring Vettefest. ( April 12 ) I thought this would be a good forum to ask some questions.

First question is exhaust : The car is a early Z made 4th week of November 68 , and I was wondering if I should buy a chambered exhaust or regular dual exhaust ? I love the look of the chambered but I'm not crazy about the sound . The other issue is what would have came standard on a early Z and what would have been a option.

I will try to keep this thread updated with pics and more questions and answers as the show gets closer . I have owned this car since 1988 and have abused it in every possible way. I would like to at least get a bronze spinner.

Chambered was standard until Nov. 25th

A Z/28 built at that time may have had virtually none of the "normal" Z/28 options. Positraction was not even standard/required on a Z/28 with 3.73:1 gears. It could not have a ducted hood. If it was built with special instrumentation it would have the 6/7 tach. If was built with spoilers the rear would have been the narrower '68.

11D spanned Nov 17-23 so it likely did have chambered.

I have an (11D) car also. Short spoiler, 7000 rpm tach, flat hood, chambered exhaust and no brake regulator under the drivers seat on the frame. DG 3 on the X brace behind the rear seat. 547891 is the VIN. Contact Dru Diesner (Psycho) he is a member here and a judge at Vettefest. Sam

I also own an 11d 69z built in CA. It has a non posi 3.73 rear end code BO. It was at the vettefest this past fall.It also came from the factory with chambered exhaust.
