Decoding/Numbers / 1969 Black\White Z28

« on: December 05, 2024, 03:54:07 AM »

This car is still in the family, my dad purchased it 1971-72 and sold it to my moms sisters husband (my uncle) sometime in 72. He had bought an over the counter replacement block for it and left the original outside of the service station he worked at in the pictures and someone took it. The car needs a total restoration but has really good bones. Low option car, no cowl hood, no spoilers, no console, my dad always said it had only a radio and black vinyl top for options. Both my dad and uncle are no longer with us and my cousin owns the car. I am trying to motivate him on starting the process of restoring it. Some pictures of my uncle and the car, and before anyone points it out yes the dash steel was replaced the original was rotted and the rivets are wrong on the vin. Trim tag shows - B special paint and black vinyl top

Would be nice to know original owner as the original engine is gone, might be hiding in a garage under a blanket somewhere

Was able to see part of the transmission that came in the car but I think like the engine it was a replacement. Looks to be a 1968

The previous owner of my Mustang had the Marti Report and Ford Invoice for the car, and it was originally ordered by someone who had the dealer install a trunk-mounted battery.  4.30 axle, Detroit Locker, Shaker Hood and manual steering was great for going down the 1/4 mile, but few were ordered as who would want such a Mustang for driving on the street.  Only my brother has taken the BOSS 302 for a spin and he said it was the worst driving car he has ever driven!  I think the only person who would buy my Mustang is someone who could drive it away or bring a trailer.

I never mentioned value, rare only adds value if something is desirable. Been a mechanic my whole life like my dad, my brother a union sheet metal worker. We have restored numerous cars together over the years. In a sea of 69 Camaros in color that wouldn't be our first choice it's reason enough to paint it the original color based on the fact that it's rare and we have proof of the originality of the color. You don't go to a car show very often and not see a 69 Camaro, but when u have one that's rare and not the same as most of the rest it's pretty cool to have. I never meant to ruffle your feathers with my questions. Just trying to learn and this site has been a great place to do so.

If it was it would matter, its still rare I doubt there were many in that exact configuration. .6 % of all camaros then factor in the L78 at production of 4889 assuming the same .6 that would be maybe less than 300? Google the color you find 2-3 examples google a SS and you find 0.

No question in my mind it is an L78. Did you find out the selling dealer via NCRS (link I posted above)?

My brother is supposed to do that tonight
