Rebuilt carb, changed oil and plugs, pre-lubed, filed points. Fired right up with 65 pounds oil pressure. Sure made my day. Happy in Ky.

Rick, Sold that old cap you sent for 30 bucks, gave the money to my mother-in-law, she wants a new pistol for some reason. Hung the shirt on the wall so I can brag about my old pal Rick. I do not understand the vacuum lines but the original owner assured me they have never been touched. Maybe a question for people who know a lot more than I.Thanks for the shirt and cap. Mike, I found the Datona yellow Z/L1 in a building in Walled Lake, Mi. The man who had the car did not realize it was what it was. I could not afford it at the time, so I filled him in on the history of the car. That at least got it back in the world. I have some friends who have the original engine in an old closed down gas station in Ky. Sits in the floor with a little dust on her. Came out of a dirt track car but thats another story. Like every one else, I love the hunt. I have found COPOs  in barns, 67 Z on a side street in Mount Sterling, Ky. A 65 A/FX hemi car in Hazard, ky.that had been stored since 1967. I have had a ball and we all need to realize that the greatest thing we get from our old cars are the new friends we make. I would like to thank  everyone out there in our hobby who helps keep the love alive for our old cars.Richard, Missed you at the Forge last year. Sure hope you show up with your old car in Sept. 

I just got off another web site that has made negative and positive comments about my old rusty car. I sort of wish I had left it at home and took a big fancy nice car that every one has seen a thousand of. (not really)A lot of people enjoyed looking at the car at the FORGE SHOW and I am glad Tim asked me to bring it. I have a bunch of old muscle cars, but the red Z is the only car I have that I have been excited about in years. It is missing the original smog, shocks, and horns. Nothing else has ever been touched. Original plug wires, carb, dist.rad. fan, the list goes on and on. The man who had the car new put the smog and 2 of the original wheels in a corn crib on their farm and some one stole them. It was parked in 1975 but the engine will still crank over. I know it is a project, but I got GM sheet metal with the car when I purchased it so I will not need to hunt parts. My wife tells me if I find a pile of horse manure in a field and it has tires and rims around it I would try to buy and bring home. It is a sickness I have that I hope is never cured. Thanks , Robert Hurst Campton, Ky.
