Owner of the car is looking for the engine:  https://www.camaros.net/threads/is-this-a-real-1969-z-28.478796/

Sorry about side ways Pics.

I went to the Porsche Museum past Sunday and was surprised to see this.

Add 2 cents on the water pump. Rebuild is bearing, seal, never saw a worn out impeller.

I have seen impellers eaten down by rust. Newer impellers that you get in the rebuild kits are more efficient at moving coolant.

Saw this while perusing craig's list.

Did you ever find a restorer that you were satisfied with Lloyd?

I saw this company talked about on SC site:

Yes, Fletcher Jones Chevrolet was the Chevy Dealer in Vegas and I think in SoCal as well. The old man always had an animal with him when he did commercials. And they sold imports as well.  And still do.

Not mine...just came across it.

Which company was it from? Ricks or CI.  Your first post states you got them from Ricks.

And that is the way it is with Robert.  He is always backed up, well worth the wait.  Here is a conversation I had with him.  BTW, the radio he refurbed for me is still cranking out the sound.  And gives you an idea of his costs.

Hi John,

Yes, I'm still repairing Delco AM Radios.

I can repair and overhaul any radio from 1946 to 1990 for only $100-150.
(1946-57 are $150, 1958-90 are $100)

It includes parts.
All the worn or defective capacitors, tubes, transistors, etc.
Full radio alignment for the best reception.
Clean the dial area & re-paint the dial pointer.
Clean & lube all the controls & tuning mechanism

Also, if you wish, I can Modify your radio for better bass & treble, to sound like a modern radio for only $50 extra. I don't gut out or remove any components. I just connect a few of the original circuits in a more modern fashion for better bass & treble & power. All of your original circuts will still be used. You won't believe how good your radio can sound. The $50 Mod. DRAMATICALLY improves bass and treble response which makes your original radio have the full tone of a modern radio.

Use with your original type 8 or 10 ohm speakers, or better yet any of my new 8 ohm 4x10 or 6x9 Hi-Fi speakers. Let me know what size.

Also, if you wish, I can install an aux input cable for an ipod/mp3/cell ph/portable-cd for $50 extra. It's a cable that comes out of the back or side of your radio. I can make the cable any length from 2 ft. to 5 ft. It has a female jack on the end of it. I also supply a 2ft male to male cord to connect it to the ipod/mp3. It's connected directly to the volume control of your radio for the best sound. (not like others that plug into the antenna jack which then goes through the radio tuner)

The total repairs would be $100,($150 for 1946-57) plus $50 for each the mods, plus shipping. Credit card or PayPal when I finish are best.

If you decide to ship it, the Post Office is much more gentle than all the other carriers.
Insure it for at least $300 & wrap it well to Protect The Shafts, They break, bend or get pushed in easily. I use balled up sheets of newspaper to pack them tight. You could also put cut off heavy tubing over each whole shaft like PVC or large heater hose longer than the shafts to protect Them. Please dont use styrofoam. Leave a note with your email or phone# & I'll notify you when I receive it.

I have a new address below

Thank you,
Robert

Yup great show. I have been there twice, and its a long trip for me.  Planning on going this year as well. 

Almost an entire car there from the looks of it.  Wheres the body? I'm no expert on whats it worth.   

  I was on Facebook 1 st. Gen. Camaro page this afternoon, and they started talking about Mod tops on early Camaros.  I had never heard of this.

Mike, Interesting timing as I just got back from the Muscle Car and Corvette National show today in Rosemont near Chicago where I met RogerH from Team Camaro.  He has a beautiful restored mod top Camaro in the show that he bought new in '67. He said he scoured the internet to eventually find a dealer who happened to have some of the material with the exact pattern to restore his top.  He's also from Illinois (Quincy) so maybe you'll be able to see it sometime.

I did not make it to this MCCN Show this time around, I have been to several, even dating back to when it was Chevy/Vette Fest.  I have a  few friends who went, and have posted several pics., didn't see a Mod Top Camaro. 

It was in the "Color My World" area.

Wait till you get to the cowl area/under the windshield.

Another example of an 9A13 to add to the mix.  And I agree with the above post when trying to find a real Alt. The As and Gs seem to always be striked hard/stamped hard.
