Title: 69 cortez silver Z/28
Post by: keech on April 20, 2012, 11:33:02 PM: Hey guys.
I bought a 2 owner 69 Z/28 a couple months ago from a guy in long island NY. He purchaced the car as a theft recovery with 3,000-4,000 miles on it.
it was stolen in mid to late 1971and was sold new at village chevrolet in queens. He said they got the intake,carb,ignition,trans and front seats. Maybe someone here knows the car?? Base Z/28 cortez silver.
Factory cowl hood, std black interior, no console, tach only. am/fm and spoilers. thanks ! Steve

I believe it is also from Village Chev, and its a Fathom Green, black comfort weave, cowl hood, am/fm stereo,X33, console and gauges.

Still trying to find info on my car. If that sparks the memory of anyone please let me know. The car is Orange with White stripes

Post by: Mike S on April 24, 2012, 04:04:39 AM: The paintball team I am on along with another team did a couple of years of fund raisers for Wounded Warrior at the Coram field.
My car club did mention the show out east. If weather permits, I'll go there as a spectator (my car is being prepped for repaint).
The Yaphank fire dept is only 10 minutes from my house. If you don't mind my email is msinis@optonline.net so if are going I'd look forward to meeting members here.

Sorry this thread got hijacked! :o
