Originality / Re: 68 RS With Z28 Motor - Was this a Dealer Install Option

Ed

It's been a while, a long while since I was involved with this kind of thing so I have not real feel for what these cars are generally going for these days on the open market which is why I asked, just to get a ballpark number. I did find NADA list values or these cars also.

169

I have seen the car, spent about 15 mins looing at it on a lot. Did not have time to spend anymore that day.

So before I get serious about it I am just trying to get a feel for what's it worth vs typical values of cars on the market now.

I wasn't specifically looking for a Z car, just a good solid car to work with.

thanks

Ed, I am with you here. I can easily determine if it is a 302 without any disassembly. So the question in my mind anyway, becomes, what's a documented Z28 worth vs a so called real Z28 with no documentation vs a regular Camaro that has all the Z28 parts and is there any real difference between 2 & 3? (Assume all cars are in the condition of this one in question so its apples to apples with out the original numbers matching motor)

No I have not purchased the car. Based on not having any real documentation that the car is areal Z28, I assume it is not and just has a CE 302 motor. Assuming that, restoring the car with vs without the 302 is where my question is coming from. The intent is not to restore to sell, but drive and have fun for a while. If it's not a real Z28 or it is but can't be proven though documentation, what difference does that make?

The real question is what is this car really worth as it stands now? It is overall a solid car form my quick inspection, needs a total stripping of the paint and redone, interior is good but needs a rug and a headliner. Owner states motor runs good but I haven't heard or drove it yet.

back to the car in question, finally got the paper work, nothing there to confirm it's a Z28 car so it's likely not. Assuming the CE 302 motor is in good running condition, what is the going rate for this motor?

Quick question, did all 67 and 68 Camaros with front disc brakes have 4 piston calipers? and didn't the single piston deal come out in 69?

Well that certainly looks like the car except the RS hide a way lights on it now. It also has the 69 cowl hood as shown in your picture too! Paint is junk now though, bad metal prep so it's peeling in many areas. It has the factor console with gauges and a 6K tic toc tack. Add states  CE 302 motor, M22 trans, definitely a 12 bolt rear, and 4 piston cal's.

How did you find out it was on EBay?

Thanks

Thanks, based on my thoughts assuming the paper work /story is true I was thinking around 20K would be a ballpark value also. If a dealer installed this motor would they also stamp the block to match the car too?

Condition of the car is:
- Interior needs a rug and head liner - black standard interior
- Body looks very solid, no bondo
- under carriage also looks very good
- Paint needs to be totally stripped and redone - many peeling areas
- Power Brakes, no power steering
- trunk looks good, upper shock mounts have no rust around them
- one hide away light cover not working
- Original AM radio
- Console gauges work except fuel level

It has front disc brakes, 12 bolt rear, munice 4 speed. I don't have the VIN number at this time. I wasn't looking for a Z28 when I stopped. I was just looking for a solid 68 to restore. I did not have time to look at the paper work either. Assuming want the seller claims is true, would this car just be an RS with Z28 options? How would you put a value on it?

Looked at a 68 RS a few days ago. The seller stated it had a Z28 302 motor installed by the dealer along with the headers in the trunk so he was selling it as a Z28. Was this ever offered to anyone's knowledge. I have heard of the headers in the trunk but not dealers swapping motors. The seller said he has a bunch of paper work but I didn't have time to go over it. Assuming it is a 68 RS with a dealer installed 302 motor, what would something like this be worth. Overall the car is in good shape but needs to be totally striped and painted correctly, paint peeling all over. I has the standard interior with the console & gauges along with a 6K factor tic toc tack,, clocks works too  LOL.

Thanks
