Yes it is 457. Very true about the L6 cars, I've never seen one in black. Black convts seem to be far less common as well.

I tried to post of pic of the TT but pic file too large. It's in JMs database as well. 10 10 711 11A x77 D80  with cowl hood and 6500 tach. Needs restored. So the guess would be appropriately 400 black Zs. If that includes the paint delete and early cars then I suppose even fewer code 10 TT cars. Anyone know when in the model year black became a standard color? Thanks for the info.

General Discussion / Last 69 Z?

« on: February 27, 2016, 01:55:39 AM »

 I have a 69 Z that I chased for years I purchased last year and I'm about to begin restoration on. Very late car 710474 vin 11A build. I'm curious are there any known Zs built later? Also Nov 1st was a Saturday in 1969 so with 3990 cars built in November were 11A cars the cars built that week up to Saturday November 1st or are they November 1st cars and the second of of November as well? Lastly, any guesstimates on how many code 10 black Zs built in 69? Not including the paint delete cars that can't be confirmed as true black cars.  Thanks

Yes it looks like he's having someone else field the calls. Once you pull up to the owners place you immediately get an impression of how he is. Cameras, large signs wanting to impeach every elected official, big dogs. Literally lives with car and parts. One of the most interesting places I've viewed a collection for sure.

Long time listener, first time caller. I had to comment because I was fortunate enough to pick a few things from this collection a few years back. I'd heard about it for years but Noone was able to ever buy anything till recently. Not the largest collection, but one of the more interesting ones I've went thru. The 67 pacer is a OO car that is fairly solid but needs a total resto. Engine is close but about 10 digits off on the VIN, so not numbers matching. The 68 Z is decent but has had the undercarriage painted body color and had quarter skins which turned me off. The 70 is a darn nice car but 2nd generation aren't my cup of tea. There's also an LS6 numbers car that needs a complete resto he wants 70k for. He's paid $1400 for back in the day. Almost all he's had for many years. An original paint 74 camaro. The 71 seamed like an average project. Needing some metal replacement. The parts collection was more impressive than the cars. All real deal stuff, just a hard core guy to deal with. Pay his price or leave. Many I knew tried to buy a few times and just gave up.  I was surprised to see his stuff advertised on CL. The lack of quality pictures shows he doesn't advertise much lol.
