Jon, the price was lower than I thought it would go for, but compared to some other cars that went across it was actually decent money. The reserve came off at 150 so the seller must have gone in with low expectations. It's a good thing it didn't have a Hemi in it!

So did the early NOR trunklid not get an emblem?

Jon, Are the chrome knobs shaped the same as the ones in your first two pics?

In 1967 the LOS plant built cars with and without smog systems. Cars delivered in CA (and presumably special ordered with the equipment for out of state sale) got it; normal out of state delivery cars did not.

I thought the same thing looking at that picture. I wonder why Dana didn't get cars from NOR? Since four of the first eight Z's went to the west coast and their obvious connections it would seem logical. Any idea how they got around the homologation rules?

Searching the CRG site shows your QS axle to be 3.07 with standard brakes. I have seen printed elsewhere that QS axles are metallic brakes. Have you checked that?

Was the roll test done before or after the car was completed? If after, would the sheet be under the carpet?

Just wondering if your car has power brakes; are the fronts disc or drum?
