Originality / Re: YH Wheel Date
« on: January 11, 2016, 04:39:58 PM »


I was around back in those days and most guys wanted Goodyear tires. I'm sure many dealers were agreeable to swapping wheels with another car in stock to make a sale. If your car has 5 matching wheels maybe that's what happened.

which goodyears?- the wide ovals?
I wonder if this has anything to do with win on Sunday sell on Monday?

14" polyglas tires were an option. They were not a common option. But they were an option

I plan on putting polyglas tires back on my original rims for "cruising", but I have a set of repro 15" rims and radials for tearing up the pavement

"- Believed to be 11,000 actual miles "
I believe I only have 32,000 miles on my car-  the odometer has rolled over twice...

nice restoration, I would not pay the amount they are estimating without reading pages 2&3 of Jerry's report

Only certain people will be able to start a thread, but once it is started, it will be open for all to post in that thread. 

We are still working on how the submission process is going to occur.  We already have some cars in mind.  This will be a process over time. We are not going to take a bunch of submissions and post them all right away. 

History of the car may or may not be included. That will be up to the owner.   

If you are thinking of submitting your car, that is great. We may ask for certain pics, to highlight a feature.

I think this is potentially a great way for us to all get more exposure to unrestored car details.

I like that idea

having a numbers car, I have hung out in the originality and numbers sections. It feels like this section is where a car in it's entirety can be showcased

I guess my car falls in line as a survivor, with the exception of a few of expendable/ rubber parts and a portion of the interior, it has a lot of born with parts and still has the paint as it sat on the showroom floor!!

The first owner won this car after the 70 models were out, but the letter informing him of winning is dated June 27, 1969.

So I am not the only one who caught that, I thought I was just a little crazy

"Numbers Matching does not promise or guarantee originality of the engine"
At least they are being honest.
The VIN stamp on the block is way to readable due to the smoothing of the rough casting.

Couldn't agree more Steve - my 69 block VIN is barley readable due to the roughness of the casting. It is completely unlikely that the block was ground smooth at the factory like it is on this one.

Exactly. The DZ block I have is only readable for a few digits. Which is good in my case cause its not matching but date correct.
Any block as smooth and readable as the one in question must be suspect.
I also have to agree, my L48 from May is also very rough with a section of casting flash ground off, but not nearly as clean as this Z

Your A/C unit looks exactly like mine - factory A/C
Thus I have to echo mark:
look on the passenger side front footwell, the plastic cover should have a cutout to accommodate the valve actuator

if you plan on rebuilding the A/C - may I suggest Classic Auto Air - they restored mine!

Also look across the core support, there will be a foam weatherstrip and if you can see into the fender along the support there will be a block-off plate with rubber gasket bolted to the core support

with or without AIR (smog tubes)?
What is your build date?
I have a couple of mid year log style for non-AIR
They will need to be cleaned up- a little rusty
