Does on have to purchase some special VIP package to get back to where your car and the Alan Green car are sitting so you can see 'em up close? Love the simplicity of the interior and engine bay. Is the engine a DZ, or a destroked 350?

Jon, so glad you are the care taker of this truly historic and amazing car. I love the history and the research you have put into early Z's. I am left breathless after seeing the progress you have made. I cannot think of a better person to take care of this car. Kudos!

Thanks again to all. As for seeing the cars at the races, I think you pay about $40/day for full access to all the race cars. The original MO block for my car went into the '68 Camaro that replaced it on the race track. I have an original MO block from one of the early Yenko Zs (Bud Gates' race car) but installed a dated 657 block that was decked (no numbers) instead.

Darrell, I'm not going to race it in the near future. I want to show it while it still looks good but there are a lot of people who have told me they want to see it on the track.

I got a nice write-up in the local paper. Resident displaying first-ever Z-28.
