General Discussion / 67 RSSS for a 69 Z, would you guys trade?
« on: January 21, 2016, 10:57:26 PM »
I was hoping to get some opinions from you guys.
I have a 67 RSSS 350 that I have owned for many years. It does not have the original drive train but does have a very fun drive train in it. It has a hot little 400 small block with dart heads, headers, HEI, a nicely built turbo 350 with shift kit etc and 4:10 gears. I believe with the right tires it will run low 13's and maybe on a good day even high 12's.
Its original colors were Marina Blue with gold deluxe interior. It is one of the most loaded factory optioned cars I have ever seen. Tach, gauges, console, A/C, power windows, fold down rear seat, rear window defogger, tilt, stereo and as mentioned earlier RS with deluxe interior. I might even be forgetting one or two options... I had it painted a few years ago and it still needs finished. It did have some trunk and floor rot. NOS quarters and fenders were used. The paint job is only driver quality, probably on a scale of 1 to 10 its a 7. It still has a long way to go and needs complete interior and final assembled. Again, its just going to be a nice local show and go driver when completed.
I might have the opportunity to trade it even up for an early 69 non X coded Z/28. Its JM certified, Cortez silver (still has a lot of the original paint), standard black interior, flat hood, no spoiler, rear antenna car. During his inspection Jerry found the X7 behind the rear seat. It does not have the original engine or trans but I believe the rear axle is original. It comes with a correct dated but decked engine and trans. It has the correct dated heads, intake, DZ carb, distributor, alternator but missing many other things such as shifter etc. I think the quarters and fenders can be saved but it will need a roof, trunk, floors. It looks like the front windshield has been leaking and the dash may need replaced. Definitely a lot of work and complete restoration needed. I would probably have to pay to have most of the body work done and repainted but I'm thinking I will try to fix the rust myself and then for sure do all the mechanical and as much work myself.
Since its not a numbers car, I would only restore it to very nice driver quality.
I've tried to give all the pertinent details.
I'll try to post up some pictures of both cars later.
What do you guys think? Would you do it?
