Has to be great story there and Chicks just teasing us!!
Ouch, I committed a cardinal sin 😊 by spelling Bryon’s name incorrect. The most important word in each of our vocabulary is our name so sorry Bryon!
OK Bill, a little bit about why the car has low mileage and just sat for many years but first let me introduce the cars 2nd owner is my good friend Skip, the same person who owns that fantastic 69 Hugger Orange low mileage Z/28 Survivor you looked at while attending last years MCACN. This 68Z I looked at many times while restoring our 68Z but had to keep in mind being a late build there are differences.
OK the story! The original owner in 1974 who lived in a small local town named Red Lion travels hardly a mile to obtain a trade-in value with the town’s Chevrolet Dealership named Sterner Chevrolet. What they offered was a piddly unbelievable $300. The owner told them the Transmission was worth that much and they agreed but stated something to the effect, “Yes, but we can’t sell them.” The owner then parks that 68 RS Z/28 in his Mom’s garage behind the house in an ally way and eventually moves to NY. The car sits in that garage for years until Skip hears about it and eventually happens to be in the area on business when the Mom is opening the garage to take her car out. The rest as they say is History but Skip told me it was covered with dust to the point you could hardly make out the stripes on the car, and two others had cracks at obtaining the car but turned it down. Survivors many years ago are not how Survivors are cherished and looked upon today, and heck we did not even call them Survivors.
Note on the car the last PA inspection sticker expired end of October, 1974.
I happened to have a old shipping box with the Sterner Chevrolet label.
