On the Coronet , I wanted the wedge 426 & my Dad said Nooooo
I was 18 and probably a smart move on his part

I sold it to my brother
I had a Porsche & the Z-28
he needed a car
He drove it for 6 months then asked me if he could buy it
He must have gone to the DMV & said he didn't have the title
Your right the Title should have gone alone with the car
We were young & didn't think of all the details

Hi Again Hero

I did not know your Friend Bruce Ericson but knew of him

He was a real racer, I was more of an enthusiast

A side note   , I was also a mopar fan

My dad was general service manager at Valley Dodge in Van Nuys
 
before my time in the Navy I had a 66 Dodge Cornet 440   383 4bbl 4 sp

Hey Hero

Your a sharp guy

That's exactly where Gymiemac came from, my boss tagged me with that back in the early  80's & it stuck ever since

Hi Kurt

On the production #

If #7 is wrong , maybe the sales Mgr saw an excited young kid & was feeding me a little more excitement
But taking delivery in October had to be an early one

Hi My Name is Jim McDougall

I am the guy pictured with the Silver 69 Z-28 at the top of this thread
My Friend Charles took this picture at San Fernando Drag Strip in the San Fernando Valley in Southern , Ca
Probably in early 69
Unfortunately this is the only picture I believe I have

I got out of the Nave in late Sept of 1968
I had a friend who had a 1968 Z-28 & loved it

I went to my local Chevy Dealer to get a new 69
They weren't being produce yet but he was able go through the options & order it for me

After waiting several weeks & being impatient I went back to ask about the progress
The car was being made only a couple of miles away in Van Nuys
He knew the production manger & called him
We were told it was being built the next week & was the 7th  69 Z-28 coming of the assembly line for the 69 year
It came with a std hood, no spoilers and chambered exhaust & no Mufflers
It was very loud , the chambered exhaust was vert short live
Chevy gave me the option to have the chambered exhaust removed & muffler installed , but I declined

I eventually passed the car on to my brother , then to one of our friends  & then gone

I believe I still have the original build window sticker & possible the original pink slip stashed away some where

I like most regret letting this car & many others get away

So hat's the story on That Silver 69  Z-28
