The first Z/28s w/included D80 were final-assembled April 1st. No D80 on the tag until late May.

The chrome knob just needs to be snugged up via strap wrench.

Exactly, there was no need for it.

This seems like a good opportunity to clarify something.

The chrome knob did not use the lock nut as used on the Hurst T-handle. I regularly see a lock nut under the knob, even on cars going through judging.

Unrestored, original cars usually don’t need to be auctioned. Auction cars are virtually always restored. However, there will be three excellent original examples at Mecum Indy.

Does not include cross-ram or JL-8 cars.

Using 2022-2024 auction data from Barrett-Jackson, Mecum and GAA here’s the results:

Z/28   50 examples average sale w/fee    $110,721
24 sales were over six figures including $275k and $220k. The $295k Powder Blue Z/28 at B-J Scottsdale 2022 was not included

Z/28-RS   27 examples average sale w/fee $105,926
15 sales were over six figures

I don’t go into a lot of detail but note obvious flaws. These are comments seen for cars under six figures.

-nom
-black grille
-houndstooth seats/standard interior
-headers
-X33 trim added to X77 car
-T-10 trans
-obvious amateur restoration

Not much variance between the years.

Here's a couple of original photos.

The first shows it can't be installed with the connector pointing left.

A couple of observations. The hose has to be positioned much farther down the connector than it is. I suspect your air cleaner base may not be correct, or the tube is loose. The original pics seem to show the tube in a slightly different location or clocked differently. There were several different open element air cleaner bases.

Could be an FW code wheel dated December 21 for the 1976 model year.

Physically the same as a YH.

Three excellent original '69 Z/28s will be at Mecum Indy. Two are Rally-Sports, all have VE3. Same long-term ownership.

It's looked like that since it sold at a 2019 GAA auction for $46k.

The drive train does appear to be original.

Actually, some of it is still green. But dash repainted, seats look black.
