Just found this on ebay. I was looking at the car and noticed it was a 63 code color. Check out the old Vintage picture's of it. BAD ASS!

The car was bought from an employee of Rick's First Gen when it was Rick's not Ecklers. Also if you look at the POP showing the car was sold new in GA. Allen removed the Original Trim Tag for the restoration and replaced it. I'm pretty sure it's original but Kurt or someone would have to verify. I don't even know if they were making fake tags when this car was restored. Plus this was back when the US Camaro Club had many experts judged the car in Detroit.

General Discussion / Black 69 Z/28 RS on Ebay Crossram JL8

« on: November 25, 2012, 09:00:33 PM »

I see this car is back on ebay. I know this car and it has an Original GM Crossram set up on it and a Real GM JL8 rearend bought from Rick's First Gen. The car was a US Camaro Gold winner when Allen restored it but has since had many parts replaced on it. Gone are the Smog, Chambered Stainless exhaust, Gm Transistorized Ignition, YH wheels and Wide Tread tires . The seller on Ebay supposedly has the Smog set up. This would make someone a really nice car with some fluffing. There's been talk of a fake Trim Tag. The Original was removed and replaced for the rotisserie restoration in Mid Ninety's .

Isn't that the original owner with the car at the 2008 Chicago show?

That is just Bad Ass!

At about 18 19 seconds in the clip the Supercharger sounds like a jet engine. Love the White with Black wheels too.

Looks like a nice solid car , but as you guy's have pointed out the rearend looks like a direct transplant from a 67 and the sbc crossmember. Everyone knows how the engines were swapped in the cars back in the day.

 Does the paper look authentic?

It would be a nice car to put back to 68 Norwood style.

You are correct Paul LOL. 4 piston just like the Corvette . The 69 use's a single piston caliiper which I dont think Lonestar repairs .

Wonder what he's asking for this "not cheep" one of a kind? 75K???

Jimmy V.

65,000K

Well, he was asking 65K when he thought "NONE or your buddies has anything like this... " but now that y'all have posted about it being a rare color the price may go even higher. After all, "This is a very rare once in a lifetime oppertunity to own what everyone else can only dream of."

Champagne might be a rare color, but it's not what I dream of. Maybe it's kind of rare for a reason. Like the same reason it was repainted red.
