WOW!!!  This car still exist and is on the road!  I came across it today in the parking lot of Whole Foods in Redwood City, CA.  The vehicle drew my attention because it is currently painted like a Z/28 (black with white stripes) and still has its original California black license plates (WGFxxx).  It still has the "327" emblems on the front fenders and has a 350 cid engine in it now.  Other info I got off it is...

Full VIN:  124378L331820

Cowl tag (it's original) info: 

02E                T484
68-12437    LOS    30903
 712                 G-2

I didn't realize it was donor of this engine and transmission until I got home and checked my DB.     :o
