Plates were a great bonus. Plus a cost saver. Those black and yellow plates can be pricey now a days, especially since the DMV now runs a program so you can put them on older cars that don't have them.

When you have time, can you grab a couple of detail pictures of the jack assembly (especially mast and base) so I can update the LA vs NOR bumper jack design thread?

Thanks Chick.
The fun has already begun! I have been shopping for good deals already and planning the clean up. Getting a title and being able to share the news with you guys is all part of the fun. Hopefully I can make a few low budget changes and take it for a spin around the block here soon.

thanks Darrell and Nick and 70L34.
Ok small update. I was able to locate 2 more AD wheels, (that are dated the same as my original 3)so now i have a complete set. I blasted the front of them since they had a couple of rattle can layers on them, sprayed them black, then silver (thanks for the paint Jack).
I had the BFG's already so had a shop mount and balance them. I think it looks tons better!
Now to locate some early trim rings. ( think I may have a set of clean caps)
I was also able to land a sweet tach for it  ;)( but I need a Stewart Warner controller for it (D-990-B) anyone?

I just saw this post on You tube. very similar to my White Z.

This one was sitting in Ohio, probably right under Bentley's nose... ::)

Nice find on the 69, gotta love Cali with those clean cars out there.

This one was actually right under MY nose. Sharpnack( now Pat Obrien) about 4 miles from me. In 69, that Z and mine would have been only a couple miles apart the way the crow flys. Family still local, can't imagine they pulled it out of a garage more the 10 or 15 minutes from here. New owner would have passed the buggy coming up rt 89 or 58. About a half hour south of here. I half remember seeing the listing while window shopping. Not crazy money. Honest about replacement block. Sort of read on after that. Tons of meat on the bone with this one if looking for a solid reso-project(I'm not), or into survivors. Sad to think car probably presented great until relatively recently, then did some blue tarp time. Ohio cars rot bottom up, road salt. This Z suffered trapped moisture, however not bad. Got back in the garage before going terminal. Another one saved!

...gotta laugh, you swapped the wheels and tires ASAP! Same train of thought as me. I did mine in 89, when one would think Cragers were the factory correct wheel. Always loved the look of rally wheels on theses Camaros. Not so much large diameter wheels, just my opinion...

Thanks for posting that link Austin. Any idea as to what that car sold for? If not what you all think would be a good price. I need to know so the next time I come across a car like this that's been stored for 25 years in a garage I'll have an idea as what to offer.
