I have, but I've never shown it. I always park in the lot and walk around. My Z is Hugger Orange with black stripes. Is your 69 Garnet Red , I've seen one that color at the show. Don't really see many Z28,s there.

I have a 69 Z28. I've owned the Z since 1988. The car has the original DZ engine but it doesn't have the original transmission. I've been looking for it for 37 years so I feel your frustration. When I looked at Dave's 68 Z , it was a total restoration, it needed a lot of metal work , didn't have the original drivetrain, had some cool options like a tic tok tach and it had a trans in the trunk but I think it was date coded for a 69 Camaro.

I live in Maumee. I really hope you can get that engine, sounds like that car deserves to be reunited with it's original motor.

Where are you located, I'm curious as to how far the car is from the motor.

Kurt has made me aware of your recent post Slimjim. My cousin and I originally looked at a 68 Z28 that this guy had in his barn and outside in a 78 Malibu he had the MO 302. He said it ran and my cousin is trying to find his information. The engine is located in Okolona Ohio, just west of Napoleon Ohio.

I just bought a 270 coil , they are hard to find and an original one is expensive.

Does anyone know if fan shrouds are date coded. I need to replace my fan shroud on my 69 Z. I noticed my part number on mine is 3938615 1., I reached out to  Camaro Specialties and they have seen the numbers 1,2, and 3 after 3938615. I would like to know what the numbers mean, any information would be helpful

I finished my repair and wanted to post a few pictures. I used black JB Weld and it worked well, thanks to everyone for the tips.

I just had a piece of my grill break off. It is a vertical slot and it is at the top center right by the hood latch handle. I have the part but I'm not sure how to fix this.

Need opinions on my spark plugs , rich,lean, or just right? It was running rich and I just put 5 gallons of Cam2 in it and seems to be running great. The plugs were fouled before the Cam2. Previous to Cam2 I ran 93 octane gas.

Lynn, that's the set up I currently have , a repo battery, but it only had a 400 cca battery inside (surprised it had enough power to crank it over when it was cold out) but I'm on the fence as I'd like to have a battery with 700 to 800 cca's. Does the Braille battery have enough power. I read the specs and they advertised 550 cca
