Well, that's ok for now. I was just excited seeing the black 10 10 code and the JL8. But we don't have to get into any more detail. Thanx everyone, I am over it........Danny

WOW!! You just let the wind WAY out of my sail's........ How can you tell about the cowl tag? I can't even hardly see it in the picture. Have you seen pictures of the cowl tag and drive train numbers of this car in the past? It seems like this car has been around a while..... Danny

Probably one of, if not the nicest 69' Z/28 I have ever seen. Holy Crap Batman!! It went to 100K and someone must have made the magic offer. So the auction was ended. Sure would have liked to see it go all the way. Anybody know this car, or it's owner? I have to say I am just blown away, as this is my dream color. And a JL/8 on top of it. I guess you can see I am excited.....Danny

Well guys, I greatly appreciate all of your knowledge. I would say this, I am not as concerned with the drivers side as I am that prominent white line on the passenger side. I will still take advice on both of course. But it's that darn white line that bugs the heck out of me. And the car is WAY to far to go look, and I don't have the extra funds right now to send someone to see it. I am stretched out six different directions. I will be seeing this car again possibly in the next 2 or 3 months. And at that time you can bet I will lay in the trunk sideways and reach back as far as I can and check these area's well. AND take some more pictures. I don't have the knowledge to even guess on this. And more info is still appreciated. I am going to look at a JL8 car this weekend and for fun, I am going to see if I can do the trunk shuffle. Thanx everyone as always.......Danny

Charley, that's what I figure also. I remembered taking some pictures in that area you are talking about, behind the vents. But all the window harware is in the way. But here they are for what it's worth.

I see that Charley. But you would have to hold the camera to the right more, then shoot at a more direct angle to see it. So it's not so straight back. Maybe shoot some more closer and angled. I would be curious to see ANYBODYS car of that area on one or both sides.....Danny

JohnZ, I have to say I did see a slight seam in your picture. However, your light surface primer and such is VERY consisdent accross that area with NO break. You can hardly see yours. Where as mine on the passenger side has a clear white line, with primer missing from both sides of it. Beleive me, I don't doubt all of your knowledge as most everyone on here forgot more then I. And you have helped me more than once. BUT, I gotta say I'm still scared until I see several pictures of 100% original cars, WITH somewhat of a prominent line. I also noticed on the outside of the car, a repair RIGHT IN THAT AREA. They didn't do a perfect job on the body work. That looks like the only spot on the whole car. I crawled all over that baby. Now the one side looks to be ok, and very similar to all of the pictures posted. But that other side is just to clean of a line for me. Thank you all for your time as always.

To answer some other q's... Car is 2 or 3 thousand miles or so away. I seen it while on vacation. Owner is probably 5th or 6th in line of ownership, and no contact info from prev. owners available. .......Danny

Well Guys, I really don't know what to think. I sent the pictures to a friend of mine and this is his reply. Maybe he is right, or wrong?

Affirmative. Its been quartered. But before walking away, determine why. Inspect the rail for signs of rear collision damage, if there is none, perhaps negotiate a price favorable to allow future replacement of the quarter?

So he seems to think it's been quartered. I am lost now for sure .......................Danny

Thanx Guys, Yes the drivers side picture ya posted looks pretty similar to the drivers side in the picture I posted. And how could the light rusting/primer area be SO Consistent on both sides of that seam? It's just less than an inch away on BOTH sides. How could that be? It looks so normal and original. And how could you grind that down without the grinding wheel drifting? Hech the wheel during contact is about what that seam is...... Here are a couple more pictures. Maybe Kurt or one of the guys can combine the pictures. Keep the opinions coming as I am dieing to know, AND to learn what it should look like. And where that seam IS on the outside of the car......Danny

I took some pictures of the trunk inside a 69' Z/28 I am looking at. So what is that white line. Is it a line showing sheet metal replaced? Does it look like a partial piece was put in? The drivers side looks less prominent right?...Danny

L78 Steve, you are thinkjing exactly what I said when I first seen this car. How the hell can you have all that extra stuff and not get at least the 55 or even the U-17 package. If I owned this car the first thing I would do is add that. When I am looking to buy, if it doesn't have a console/gauge package, I skip it. That's just my thing......Danny
