No autos in the Zs.  Great car congrats.  To date the best Camaro performance wise from GM.  Now the 6th gen will be a different animal.  Cant wait to see if they offer a Z with that architecture.  If so it will dominate the competition.

If it's completely apart it should be fairly easy to verify..  Chevrolet By The Numbers '65-'69 would be a good book to start with it you don't have it already.  If you have any questions you can pm me.  As for verifying the numbers are legit get plenty of pics.

Is it just the shortblock, longblock, does it have accessories?  4K is high especially if the car is no longer around..  If you end up getting it I might know a guy that can rebuild it.

Okay, the big day is only a week away.  I'm sure you have been making a list.  So what do you want for Christmas?

A financial backer..  Or find the original owner of my 68 Z.

Both are great but have a little different purpose.  Ultimate is more of a sealant type of wax where Gold gives a deeper look to the paint and doesn't last quite as long.  Just my $0.02..

  I  noticed the heater box cover speed nuts look to be silver zinc? I have always thought they were dark phosphate.
Nice car though.

Zinc isn't correct at least for 67 & 8 and pretty sure 9..

No car yet.  Customer just wanted the engine finished then he would look for a car..  I had to make the setup very basic and broad so it would work in a heavy or light car with light tuning..
