Really Nice #s '70 Z/28

[scuncio]

This one seems like a fair deal for $45k - it's an auto, which probably hurts the value a bit, but looks to be a nice restoration....

Nice looking Z, auto hurts their value significantly IMO. Although, I enjoyed the 70Z Copo I had.

That must be the original finish on those wheels. Hard to replicate. Looks like a nicely done car.

The indicator plate on the console, is that correct? Iv'e never seen the indicator plate on the console on a Z/28. Mine has the Z23 Decor option with the wood grain dash bezel and on the horn shroud but no indicator plate. Just a Black plate under the staple shifter handle. My indicator is between the speedo and tach.

Yeah, the indicator plate is not correct for a 70. 1969's used those and I think 70 and later A body's used them.

Interesting that the console plate is different (correct) back then. Note the console is the same with the speaker holes added.

Did the non RS cars have a 1 piece grill and the RS cars a 2 piece grill?

What was the rationale behind having a 1 piece grill and a 2 piece grill?

It seems to me the RS would be better served with a 1 piece grill since it is more "exposed".

Just guessing but the limitation of injection molding it as one piece may have limited it. Actually, the one piece grill isn't truly one piece. There is a chrome edge that snaps on to the egg-crate grill that together make the complete grill.
