Is one of the cars the 69 Z-28 with no trim tag, that they claim is a X77 ?

Yes, that particular car had all the signs of being an X77
No trim
Power Disk brakes
Correct part numbers on the motor mounts
12 bolt rear
4 leafs
Muncie Hole
Distribution block and last but not least, X7 grease pencil mark

I noticed in your videos on youtube you were restoring a LB 69 Z.  Tell us about that car?  Original drivetrain?  Post up some photos!

My Lemans Blue car is being reassembled now and I have a series of YouTube videos on that car on my channel. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1YHj9wgP_Aih1THOSXqQOdoB0F3CCLlA
I was lucky enough to have successfully contact the second owner of the car and buy the original engine block for the car. The original rear end was with the car, but the transmission is not original to the car.
The car has been certified by JM .
Here is the car as it sits presently and I will be producing more YouTube videos on the completion of the car over the next few months

Hey Peter most of the 302 motors were minus the cranks and rods, did you see them in the barns ? Vince

Hi Vince,
Yes, there were engine, body and interior parts all over the 5 buildings of every type and description.
I would guess that most engines that were there would be able to be completely built with just the parts that were there.

I've heard that some of the cars may not be what they appear to be, buyer beware and be informed.

I was there and looked at every car in detail.
Every one of them are exactly what they appear to be.
The owner only bought quality cars over a 25 year period.
Yes, there were a a few 6 cylinder or standard cars, but 98% were the real deal.
Beware of opinions from anyone who wasn’t there

Hi, I am Peter Rose, its my YouTube video that has been posted. My YouTube channel is digitalpizza.
The man who owned the collection died in August of Covid. Very sad.
Brings home the fact that this disease needs to be taken seriously.
I don't want to be the one to share the identity of who or where it was to protect the privacy of his family.
I did not know him personally, but his family and the people who live in the area are wonderful people and my heart breaks for them.
I feel lucky to have been part of the story of preserving his dream and passion for these cars.

Does anyone know the story of the collector/original owner/farmer?  Did he pass away and family sold off his cars to HBC?
OR know when this video was made?

General Discussion / Jerry Macneish is coming to the San Francisco California Area this week!

« on: April 12, 2021, 01:32:13 PM »

Hey everybody,
Just a heads up on the scheduled Camaros that will be certified this week by Jerry in San Rafael California. 10 minutes north of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.
Also, there are a couple of you guys who requested to come to a meet and greet, preferably with your car, on the 2 days that he will be here. Anyone with a first gen Camaro or Chevelle that wants to come, please call me at 415-272-8133 and rsvp with me.
To everyone coming, please respect the fact that Jerry will be working very hard and will be focused on the task of certifying the 6 cars that are scheduled and will not be able to be bothered during that time. He has promised that he will acknowledge everyone at some point at his choice.
I am looking forward to a fun time and meeting new friends in the hobby.
Thanks everybody
Peter Rose 415-272-8133

Hey everybody, I live in the San Francisco area of California and have arranged for Jerry MacNeish to come and certify my 69 Z/28 on April 17th and 18th.
We have 4 cars including mine for him to certify so far and we need 2 more To make the cost for each car to be done at a substantial discount from what the normal cost is per car.
He will be conducting the certifications at my shop in San Rafael on the 2 days mentioned. So you would have to bring your car there which is equipped with a car lift and a large enough space to handle that many cars.
Please contact me at 415-272-8133 if you live anywhere in the San Francisco area, or elsewhere if you are willing to travel to San Rafael.
Thanks
Peter Rose
