68

I have a 69 Z/28 ( x-77, 01C build date, 124379N586xxx) that is not a very well optioned car. The only option I see is a vinyl roof, not even a factory tach. I don't have any documentation on the car but I have owned it since 1988. There is no question that it is a real Z. The original DZ-302 is long gone and was not there when I purchased the car. I believe the M-21 and 12 bolt are original to the car. The car is in need of a restoration which will include floors and such, but it is driveable.
So I guess I would like opinions of what to do next with it. Putting together a DZ-302 would be too costly as I have tried to price one by pieces or purchase it whole. The car does have in it a 396 (1969 JK 396 325 hp Chevelle SS). I am thinking about doing a Yenko Clone with the car. Would this be stupid to do with a real Z ? How much is a Z/28 without the DZ and in need of a restoration worth on the market roughly ? Again the car is very restorable. Do I sell it and just make something out of a base model ? Do I restore it and put a small block in it to look like it belongs there ? Restoring and making a Yenko Clone is my easiest route as there is a big block in it even though it is not correct.
Any of your thoughts are appreciated.
