If the car is totally all there as it should be, I think someone got a heck of a buy on this one

What is the latest possible known date that could be ordered as an option?? I have a May 2nd week car that was restored with a Gardner deep tone - no resonators and chrome tips in 2003. We now know that is not correct. Rather than scab a set of resonators and new non chrome tips  costing 800 or so rather go chambered if it is conceivable they could have been special ordered during that time

I've seen many survivors that I believed to be bare, or rusted through whatever paint on them. Jerry's book said either or, so in my mind its not cut and dried...... Guess that part of his book needs to be amended if the consensus is black paint

Its typical fodder you'd see for sale at a Russo Steele auction. Great looking driver, but thats it. The lack of rarity would preclude it from investing the money to make it Concours, but bought right I'd enjoy the hell out of it

your reply in the locked thread mimics what many were feeling and still feel. The car may be 100% but its hard to empathize with him because of the delivery method.

Restoration / Zinc Corrosion removal

« on: July 21, 2015, 11:00:25 PM »

Has anyone developed a good regimen to remove white dust corrosion on Zinc Plates parts? Disc Brake dust shields are not fun to remove. This is the worst case, but I'd like to make it presentable if at all possible

I have N638663 that was fitted with a Gardner exhaust with chrome tips and no resonators and has been judged 3 times and never been dinged for it at MCACN and Vettefest. But I bet it would get dinged for Legends judging by ACA. Be nice to know what is correct.........definitively

A 'store bought' drag car is not a thing of beauty to us all...  it's all in the eyes of he beholder..
Chevrolet is building/selling an 'off road' car which will not be used on the street???

Boy do I ever agree with that summation. Thank God for streetable cars of which a '15 Z/28 fits the bill

all I ever used per my engine builder's direction was GM EOS during assembly, and when they use to make it in the little can,s about half a can in with the load of oil. Never had any wear/galling in my engines to speak of
