Nice car. Is that a '71 vanity plate "DVT-14"? What does it stand for?

Thanks and good luck!

Here in Texas we can run year of manufacturer plates on vintage cars if they are new or have been restored. You must show them to the DMV to get them registered. About 15-20 years ago, one guy started hitting the basements of the old courthouses in the little towns and buying up un issued new plates. They were cheap 15 years ago, but now the 65 and 66 ones are starting to get a little pricey. I am glad I bought a bunch years ago. One advantage of running them or the official "antique" plates is you no longer need to get an annual inspection.

Very nice looking ride, does the protec-0-plate and stock hood come with the car?

Looks like a nice car. Appears it came with a vinyl roof originally. Are you sure that these are the correct special wheels (ZJ7) referenced in your ad. I thought that would have been the Rally wheels with hubcaps and trim rings?

Good luck.

The wheels shown are not ZJ7 coded Rally Wheels. The correct ZJ7 wheels are 14x7 Rally's with center caps and trim rings.
The car seems nice but there appears to be a lot of incorrect items. Do all of the correct parts come with the car?
The trim tag says the car is suppose to be Burnt Orange with Black vinyl top. The car is red with no vinyl top. The auction says the car is "very correct and original". Not sure how that can be said.
For $28k someone could have done a better job of patching the floor. What's the rest of the undercarriage look like?

Good observations Rick. Also:

It looks that, at least, the passenger rear quarter panel was replaced or repaired by just eyeballing it. I'm not nitpicking the car...it's gorgeous. But it's a 2nd gen specific fit issue that I notice in the fit of the lower rear quarters.

In many cases they are 'bowed out' farther than stock when repaired incorrectly.

Also, Norwood,OH built cars should have red oxide primer on the floor panels/undercarriage VS the black that this one has.

This car is also equipped w/ the somewhat rare VF3 bumper option (note the rubber trim on the bumpers) which would also include the rear bumper "fangs". These "fangs" were exclusive to the VF3 and Z-28's. The fangs are missing from this car but the rear bumper appears to have the holes in the coorect place for their mounting.

These are just quick observations...I'm sure more will be added. This would be a fun driver and looks to be a good candidate for a no. matching resto.

I am familiar with this car. I had to go thru some of my old stuff in order to confirm this, but I looked at this car a few years back. When I checked this car out, it was for sale in NJ. The owner of the car at that time "Claimed" to have all of the original parts along with the POP, but wasn't able to produce them for me when I was there. The quarters were replaced with the repro 1/2's, and you can clearly see the seams from inside the trunk. As posted above the original color of this car is Burnt Orange, with a Black vinyl top. I know that the guy who owned this car when I looked at it sold to to someone located here in Pa. prior to it being in TX with the current owner.

Did anyone else notice the Oil Pressure Gauge in place of what I believe is supposed to be the clock?

Gregs396 · #10 02-11-2007, 05:53 PM

I should also add that the guy who owned the car in PA, did make several improvments to this car prior to selling it again. I recall looking at his pictures on Ebay, and comparing them to the ones that I had taken prior. Don't get me wrong, this is a pretty decent matching #'s driver quality car. If someone wanted to bring it back to 100% correct/original, it would take lots of $$$$$. When I looked at the car, I estimated that it would be in the area of $10k based on the quarters and paint work plus other missing items.
