How many CRG team members have a 68 Z/28?

[68camaroz28]

I found out rather quickly that several members have 68 Z/28's with the question I had concerning date code on our distributor. But how many more are out there? I thought it might be both cool and possibly beneficial to know how many CRG team members here have a 68 Z/28 and when was it built. And any neat characteristics your Z/28 might have.
Our 68 is a 01B built Butternut Yellow/Blk std interior Z/28 with born with engine, trans, and rear.  Interesting note: Found the original owner through a 1972 charge slip that was under the carpet where the carpet folds over under the seat. Car was purchased at Roger Dean Chevrolet in Charleston, WV in late March/early April, 68. Shows you people were not standing in lines to buy these at the time either

I have three.  My favorite year for sure.  Also, 1968 was the most successful model for racing endeavors too.  Both in Trans Am and NHRA thanks to D. Strickler and M. Donahue.

Check out my signature.....was originally purchased in August of '68 at Jay Chevrolet in Sweetwater, Texas.  The owner bought it for his wife who then drove it for 30,000 miles. Owner traded if for a Cadillac in '72 at a car lot in Abilene, Texas, 50 miles away. I happened to be in that city and drove by the lot and there it sat....I had to have it so I traded my '67 Impala SS for it.  Brought it back to Sweetwater and it has been here since.

Another little tidbit....the original owners wife had an add-on air conditioner installed....believe it or not.

 I didn't add this on Team Camaro, so I'll add it here in case you want to know. The car was sold new at Crawford Chevrolet in Slaton Texas.

68 Z28 05D.  I've got the original owners manual with a POP, but the dealers info and owners info were cut off of it.  Mine was about as plain as they come.  Had a heater and an AM radio.  Other than the stripes and wheels, you wouldn't know it from a  6 cyl. plain Jane.

Nothing wrong with that but many of us are very glad they had stripes.........  If anyone is interested this is what we have in 68 Z's over there. And yes, a few are the same as listed here.

[SEK Z28]

1968 Z28, 03A, matador red, spoilers, interior and exterior trim groups, console/gauges and am radio.  It has the original engine, tranny, rear-end and most other parts.  My Dad purchased it used in March of 1970 with 29,970 miles after his 2nd trip to Vietnam in Jacksonville, Florida.  I have the original owners name, but have not been successful in finding him.  I was 7 years old when he got the Z and basically grew up in the car.  It spent 3 years in Germany on the Autobahn...it always got a lot of stares when traveling over there!

Mine is an 02E, Corvette Bronze, spoilers, tac & gauges. Black houndstooth seats, 4:56 posi & simulated wood steering wheel. I purchased it in March 1976. I was the ninth owner,,,,Joe

Just sold original paint 06c born with engine/trans/rear to a friend. There is no question about it a 68z/28 is my favorite muscle car on the planet! John

   68CamaroZ28  you probably have but did you know about this site?
http://www.1968z28.com/

It has a registry for 68 Z's and if you contact the site owner they might be able to help with how many still exist. They do have some data but the site has not been updated since 06, still interesting though.

I have one too!

Not only is the '68 Z/28 the most successful first generation Z/28 in racing history as well as the favorite Z/28 for many, but it's one of the rarest muscle cars when you take into account Pete Estes '68 Z/28 convertible.  Also, the '68 Z/28 with the Rally Sport option is the sexiest Camaro ever built!

I was not aware that the above website was still in operation but glad it is. Noticed too it has been idle (no updates for years) which helped me assume it was dead.

Hi '68 Z28 fans, I know this will be a vague question but I do not want to walk into this clueless. I am on the trail of a '68 Z28 one owner car. I do not know much about the car other than it is Not an RS. It has the born with motor ,trans and 410 diff. Pretty much rust free Ca car, Flat hood gone in place of cowl hood and original carb changed to holley carb. She told me she paid 5400.00 new and her credit union told her she was over paying for it and she told them she wanted it anyway. It was a showroom car, she drove it off the lot. I know showroom cars usually are loaded or flashy in some way but I will know more later. Big question is can someone give me a ballpark on the value. Right now it's just sitting on blocks under a plastic tarp in her backyard.

First off, it would be difficult to believe she paid $5400 back in 68 when Camaro's were in the $3500 range +/-. That is Corvette money.... And the car would have come with a list 4053 DZ Holley Carb so it might have been changed to another type Holley but it might be correct afterall. No expert here for value but for anyone to give an opinion there is so much to know and verify like yes, it does have born with stuff, etc. etc, etc. So many times things were taken off that are expensive to obtain now notwithstanding the cost to do any paint/body work. Fair question but difficult to answer unless pics and information are shared.

If you are serious, hire an expert to verify what you are looking at. With today's serious money on the table many cars are more fiction than fact. The cost of a good inspection could save you from an expensive mistake, or it could verify and add value to an original going forward if it is true. 5400 already sounds like fiction (or bad memory)

I have a 68Z,but considering selling it.

[69houdini]

Chick and Tom, Yes I am serious and I have Jerrys # in my phone book. After 40 plus years she may have transposed her numbers . I thought that $5400 was very high also, maybe $4500. maybe bottom line included finance charges over life of loan. Anyway I will fill you in as hoping to see and feel the car on Saturday and do some research. I believe in Karma and will not take advantage of this situation that is why I wanted a ballpark $ for this car. I want a happy seller happy buyer transaction.
