I think they did build a handful of hemi 302's.

I like it, but why does every car need a story. $$$$$$$$ Lots wrong. Hood added, grill s/b silver and white, wrong wheels, etc...
Tighten up that antenna at least.

I was there a few years ago and they had a nice Yenko Camaro and a Rupp mini bike that was identical to the one I had when I was 12.

I think $30 is all the money. All traces of being a Z10 have been obliterated. Engine missing. Holes in the fenders. I think Z10's are cool but rare doesn't always equal valuable. Just a rough, day 2, hot rod.

No pics of the 327 have been found yet. Big regret I don't have any and I tried hard to find some. There should be some in my mothers house somewhere, but I don't know where. It was sweet. Bought it from a body shop and it was freshly painted. Had pearly blue paint, very close to Lemans Blue, with white pinstripes. Very, very, nice paint. Zero flaws. Fat and skinny Cragars. Flat hood, no spoiler. Big tires on back. One thing I learned about it after the accident is that it was originally Hugger Orange. I have the vin's of both cars but they haven't showed up anywhere. I'm sure the 327 was crushed.

It was a great engine and was probably making 300-350 hp at that point. It was jacked up in the back. Handled poorly. Was not insured so I was able to buy it after a few months for storage charges. He never even transferred title - my moms name was still on it. I couldn't own a car because I was only 16.

Bad ending to the base 327 I sold to get the Z I sold to a 30 y/o guy I was working with at the car wash. That same night, the day I bought the Z and sold him the base, I was anxious to bring the Z down to the beach and show my muscle car friends. When I got there a bunch of people asked me if I was going nuts or something doing enormous burn outs across the beach parking lots. My old car was distinctive and well know. I said no I sold it this morning. I parked the with the new Z and my old car and new owner pull up along side me and the guy was sh**faced drunk. Everyone thought it was me doing the burnouts, but it was him. Next morning opening up the car wash, I see someone walking towards me about 500 yards away. As he got closer I could see it was the guy who bought my base car. His face was all cut up. When he gets close he tells me he wrecked the car. He literally owned it for 12 hours. And he wanted his money back because it wasn't fair that he only had it for less than a day! Later that night I took a tour of the local junk yards and I found it. He hit a telephone pole sideways at about 60-70 mph. The car was shaped like a "c". I ended up buying the car back for $200 and had it delivered to my moms driveway. Sold the engine and trans for $700 and stripped off all the remaining usable parts, a lot of parts, and scrapped the hulk. Still have the shifter knob as a memento!

Great story! I bought mine in 1975, also when I was 16. I already had a base '69, 4 speed, built 327, Cragars. I worked at a car wash on a busy road and a few times a week I saw this silver Z/28 drive by. I really liked the way it looked and sounded. Mine was nice, but the built engine was very unreliable and I was thinking something stock might be more suitable. Because I saw it so frequently I knew the guy had to live close to the car wash so I would take a different route home every day until I found it. After about 6 months of watching the Z/28 drive by, a sale sign appeared in the window. That's how we used to sell cars pre internet! Drove to the house that night and put down a $10 deposit. Sold the base car the next day for $1600, and bought the Z for $1800. I find it interesting how quickly and how often cars were modified back then. This was a 2 owner car, the block was painted blue during an engine rebuild, the grill was also painted black at some point, and hood and spoilers added. It had deluxe seats in a standard interior. I thought those were significant changes for a 5-6 year old car.

General Discussion / My 2 old Camaro's vin's
« on: December 05, 2015, 07:23:17 PM »
I had 2 1969 Camaro's in the mid '70's.
1. a Z/28 silver w/black standard interior, cowl hood, rear spoiler
2. a standard coupe, 327, 4 speed, blue at the time but I believe it began life as orange
Going through some of my mom's old paperwork, I just found the 2 vins: 124379n504656 & 124379n700084.
I believe the later vin was the Z/28 based on the subject matter of the paperwork.
