Title: Going Vintage Racing with an original Z/28
Post by: Badshifter on May 23, 2026, 08:55:45 AM
Going this route for now with this one. All bolt on parts, including the cage I built. No extra holes, no welding.
Original drive train, real DZ 302 not original to the car. Corvette 8 inch rally's that I changed the backspace 3/4 inch inboard so no tire rubbing.

Great to see someone working on an original 1969 Z28 that is going to be raced!

I agree. Drive 'em, and race 'em.

Looks like you were running the Z28 at Buttonwillow.  Haven't been to that track, but have visited Willow Springs.  Great fun!
