The Desert Rat 68 Yenko was out at Merle's when Dana bought it & the loaded matching numbers 69 L78 Convert was there when Dave bought it a few years ago... then I tracked the original owner down and he had the window sticker and order form.

That is going to be one very fun car and like how Jon is working it that as a "fun car to drive." Love them 68Z's!

Thanks.  The '68s are great cars and of course I still love the '67s.  I'm looking forward to getting this car running.

The '68 Dana Z28 is going to get some rust repair and body work done. I got some California black legacy license plates for it and was surprised DANA Z28 had not already been taken. I only know of a total of four Z28s that came from Dana Chevrolet, all '68s. Two are special paint orange, one is special paint red and my LeMans blue one. Anybody know of any other surviving Z28s from Dana?

Movement is Great, notice the Rally's.
Keep your Eye out for another 1-1/8" slot DF, I am down to needing one, I saw you snag the one on Y.NET

Gosh did someone use a roller & black paint on that,,,, notice the LA cowl whiteout,,,,

I had to return the DF I bought from the Yenko site. Two of the lug nut holes had too much wear and I would not have felt safe using it.

I may end up having a spare DF wheel. What is the build date of your car?

No, the black was not applied with a brush. I sanded through the various layers of paint to see how many paint jobs it had. First was the darker LeMans blue, then the lighter Nantucket or Grotto blue, then a layer of light gray primer followed by the final black.

Exciting build! Nothing like a car built to drive and take a little beating. DF/Bias ply is my favorite look. Good luck with the progress, Jon.

Thanks John. I have mags for it also, plus headers and a few other "correct to the era" goodies. It will be a fun car with a personalized touch.

I found some past history on my Dana Z28 back to 1984 and got some old pics. Here's a link...

If anybody can help with earlier history I would really appreciate it. Pass it along to others if you think they might be able to help. Thanks!
