I'm curious to get some advice on value. Have ran across a 68Z28.
The car is still owned by the original owner. He still has all the docs. Window sticker etc.
The born with transmission and axle/housing are still there. The original MO engine is long gone. The car has a DZ engine currently.
15,000 original miles and British Green mostly original paint. Original interior as well is mint. It was a race car and parked in the 70's. Solid original car, but just curious as to what you all think on value with matching number engine gone.
-
Pictures? Rust?
-
you say 'race car'?? What sort of race car? scca or drag strip type? What is/was modified to be a race car?? What original parts are missing or *damaged* aside from the engine? photos would certainly help us help you.. :)
-
No rust. Super solid.
It was a drag car. Everything other than the engine and the Muncie shifter is there. Has a 69 Hurst shifter. Original exhaust is now back on the car.
Spoiler was added. My time was limited yesterday so no photos yet. Even has an original cowl plenum air cleaner.

Sounds like a good one, don't let it get away.
-
What mod's were done ? Cage, tubbed, dash or trans tunnel cut up, interior gone? Lots of unknowns for even a gues-stimation.
-
Paint condition?
-
Ran in stock classes. No cage or anything. Never cut up. Tunnel and fenders never messed with. Dash and interior is mint. Wood wheel and dash trim.
Paint is good.. By no means is it perfect or close to a restored car, but it wouldn't get painted.

X2 on the pics :)

Probably be the weekend before I get any photos.

This is sounding better all the time. How could so many '68 Z's have been hiding all these years?
-
Value is hurt with the NOM, but condition seems to be making up for that!

Because everyone wants a 69.... :)

Run the vin through every search service you can find...
A friend of mine contacted a 68 Z owner with his original engine and the guy said he has a DZ in it and didn't care to acquire the born with engine, (5-7 years ago) so you never know.

I've always known. That was my first & after 41 years, I've still got it...Joe

Can't blame 'em... the '69's are so pretty (and fast)... of course the 68s are 'almost' as fast... :)

That's pretty bold Kurt. '69's are like tattoos, everybody's got one.

THIS!!

First year cars ALWAYS have bugs (1967). Second year cars have everything pretty much ironed out by then so they're PERFECT (1968). Then GM gets a hair up their @$$ and start screwing with a perfect thing, so third year cars are always messed up again (1969)!!

Engine gone sucks, but on the good side, being 1 owner, there is a explanation and logic why it is gone. Get every bit of paper, and transcripts of owner recollections. History and documents and 1 owner trump missing born with engine, IMO.
Oh, and to settle this debate, H.O. cars are the quickest....and we know what year has H.O.?

Yeah, the 1967-1969 Pontiac Firebird H.O.! But we're not talking about Firechickens here!!
