68 Z28 FS in car corral at Charlotte
« on: April 11, 2016, 03:57:58 AM »
While wandering thru the vendors and car corral at Charlotte motorspeedway this weekend (AutoFair), I came across a '68 Z28 for sale and stopped to take a look and a few pix, also a discussion with the owner.  He okayed me to post his information and photos here in case someone is interested enough to contact him (and assuming he didn't sell it there this weekend).

Bentley!  YOU WON!!!   :)     That was obviously a test.. to see who would be the first to catch that photo... :)
What did you win?   You get to now see the correct photo of the cowl tag.. :)

PSST:  Sorry about that ..  :)      I searched for the 'name'..  and posted it (late at night)..  and obviously didn't proofread that post very well... maybe I needed a little of that lightning!   :)  I've asked the moderators to delete that incorrect photo...

Much rarer than a 69. :)

Bordering on a for sale ad, which would not be allowed.  But I realize you are not the seller Gary.

So it is a - - paint, but was the color listed?

Interesting. More rare than a 69, numbers wise, but as we all know rare doesn't always mean more money, which I believe is the case here.

So was the color it was being shown in, the original paint, or thought to be the original color picked by the original buyer?

I like the cowl induction, but would ditch the passenger side mirror, personally.  I am also guessing the rear spoiler was added because of the paint on the deck lid.

No, I listed this information here for *our members who might be interested*, rather than for the seller.  I once owned a '68 Z28, but so long ago I can't remember what all I once knew about it.. :)

I thought it was a nice car, although I wasn't certain over the engine stamping (broach marks weren't visible, so it had been surfaced?, but possibly the engine is original).  I couldn't see the cast marks/date, although the owner said the engine was original, and the trans/rear were factory original.  The color ON the car was a light blue (nice color); owner said it had been repainted one time.  Another thing he said that didn't sound right to me was about the spare tire (a 14")... he said it was original... I don't think I believe that, but maybe you fellas can straighten one of us out?  :)

He had the original exhaust manifolds lying in the trunk, which he said were removed day 1 to install 'factory supplied' headers...   

There WAS a lot to like about the car.  If anyone is interested enough to contact him, I have his contact info.. Just let me know you want it.

Bryon, I'm curious...   

How is posting photos/data from a car for sale at a show different from posting data about cars for sale on ebay or craigslist, etc??   Doesn't all of this information help/enhance the information/knowledge we have on first gen camaros?
I, and perhaps the owner, who told me he sometimes accesses this site, were expecting knowledgable opinions on the accuracy of the information available on this car.   In particular, he was under the impression that the car was delivered with 'headers in the trunk', and a 14" spare tire...  Did that happen for '68 model Z28s?
