White and black tops - http://www.camaros.org/69pacer.shtml#Z10

I read that 3 times trying to see if there was a reference to a Z10 with a black vinyl top, but didn't see it..   It DID say that several Z10s had vinyl tops (but I'd think MOST of those were white vinyl tops).. Do you have any data on the number with black vinyl tops? (I'd think that combination would NOT be in Chevy's recommended combinations)...

Most are black, only one known white top.

Interesting, I would have thought along the line of Gary's thinking, that black didn't coordinate great with the color scheme.
Do you have a big enough sample to know what percentage of Z/10's came with a vinyl top?

9N635852 sold for $24,100.00 3/26/18

An Arizona car that seems to have stayed in the state it's entire life.  A huge plus, at 24K seems to be about right.

Thank you Kurt...  It's surprising (to me) that there were multiple white w/orange stripe cars with black vinyl tops, whereas I think it would look great with a white vinyl top.....

Just curious... Do you guys think that $22-23K is a fair price for a car like that??
(Personally I wouldn't spend that much on a car that needs that much work, but that's just me).
Obviously the car needs a lot of work, but how much does a Z10 add to the equation?


Cool car for someone but one thing is for sure, the cost to restore normally far outweighs its value. But glad many are doing it as its saving the breed. :)

Wouldn't be to far removed from using t as a driver just the way it is, IMO.
I think you come out ahead if you only had a thousand bucks into all the small stuff to get it going.

I just looked through the pics of the car again.

It will probably be fully restored, BUT here is my take:

It looks close to running. so maybe with most of that thousand bucks, replace the mirrors, antenna, one 350 emblem and the steering wheel. Remove the extra shackles, sticker on the windshield, mud flaps, and find a set of decent rally wheels, and maybe a grill? If you did that this car would be looking pretty good. I think if you methodically got the right parts under the hood for cheap you would be looking good investment wise.

That would be my plan. and then just drive it baby!

To many cars getting torn apart and off the road for to many years. Our time here is short, I am in full on fun mode. I gotta look at cars like this and think what is the quickest most cost effective way to F-U-N?

I could drive a car like this my whole life and never fully restore it, just an item here and an item there. Its the simple pleasures for me I guess

Probably so...  :)       J/K...

PS.  In actuality, Austin and I are friends, but each of us speak our minds... (and like most people, sometimes with insufficient thought before hand).. :)

Gary and I probably agree on more, than we disagree .... :)

It may not come across on the CRG, but through back channels we are usually on the same page.

Sometimes Gary has to take me out back and take the belt to me, eventually I come around... ;D
