Maintenance / 69 Z28 brake problem.....hanging up

« on: July 24, 2008, 04:59:07 PM »

My brakes on my Z want to hang up after car is driven a few miles. I noticed that the pedal is tight and if you put you foot behind the pedal and pull back it will relax the brakes some. Car does have a new reproduction booster on it. Is there some kind of adjustment I need to make?

I just installed an oil pressure gauge in my 69Z since it was a non gauge car. What is the typical oil pressure for a stock DZ at idle and at normal cruising speed?

Mild Modifications / 69 maximum rear tire size

« on: April 08, 2008, 04:03:25 AM »

I just bought a 69Z. I'm considering going old school with the car. Thinking about putting Crager SS wheels on it. What would be the maximum tire size I could put on the rear without clearance problem? I want to go with vintage tires so I'm thinking G60-15's.

Originality / Z28 stripes with vinyl top

« on: March 16, 2008, 10:01:50 PM »

I"m looking at a Z with paint code 76 B. When they restored the car they did not put the vinyl top on it. I was wondering how far the stripes were with a vinyl top from the bottom of the rear window. I believe I would have to redo the stripes if I installed a vinyl top on the car. That would make it way more exspensive to do.

General Discussion / Style trim or not?

« on: March 13, 2008, 11:43:14 PM »

I'm looking at an X77 car that has just been restored. Problem is I really don't like the look of cars without style trim. Would you even consider putting style trim on a high end restored X77? Give me your pros, cons and opinions.

General Discussion / 69Z Daytona yellow with yellow interior

« on: March 11, 2008, 01:40:11 PM »

I am looking at a Z that has the 714 yellow interior code. How many Z's were built this way? It is a non matching numbers car and priced close to a matching numbers car. I want to make sure the rarity makes up for the price.

General Discussion / 1969 L78 on ebay

« on: March 07, 2008, 03:12:01 AM »

Does this look right? Car was built 1st week of Oct. but the engine has a assembly date of 7/23. Seems to me this is to far apart. However the stamping on the engine pad looks correct. Makes me wonder though. If this was a true matching numbers L78 car way is he not asking more?

I'm thinking on bidding on this car. I just sold my RS/SS 350 survivor car and looking for a Z. Does this look to be the real deal?

General Discussion / Coolant coming out of overflow

« on: June 07, 2007, 03:48:55 AM »

My car doesn't over heat but I keep losing coolant from the overflow. Radiator is only filled to full mark so it is not over full. Where should I start to solve this problem?

General Discussion / This is scary.....Look how easy it would be

« on: April 11, 2007, 11:53:03 PM »

This is exactly why I wish it was illegal to reproduce trim tags and restamp engines. There is no doubt in my mind that the new owner of this car will sell it as a real Z. I am going to email this guy and try and get the VIN so this car can be documented as a fake in case it shows up on the market as a real Z.
