sometimes the original owner paperwork and pictures are not good enough if it does not agree with the Z/28 experts

General Discussion / Re: are these blue stripe or blue tip push rods for a Z-28 motor ??

if these are real GM blue striped push rods they will not wear where they go thru the heads as they are case hardened. no documentation just 40 years of building race engines

the buyer most likely had a big capital gains tax to pay and now since he reinvested the money in a collector car he skips the capital gains taxes for now. it is like the charity auctions all the money over the list price they pay is tax deductible.

« on: December 22, 2015, 07:55:11 PM »Clem, Please keep your posts civil so that your valuable contributions will not be deleted. I understand there is a lot of pride on both sides of the issue. However, the experts who are sticking by their opinions are core members of this site and personal attacks will get deleted. Just sayin!that color is still a long way from Cortez silver that was a std color for a 69 Z/28
One of my favorite posts from the beginning of this whole debacle was Jerry Macniesh sayingQuoteEvening Orchid was not available in 1969... End of story.That of course was just the beginning of the story. Now at Mecum, there will be the car hyped up as a 1 of 1 special paint and an expert written appraisal of the car stating it is just a standard color with a stripe delete, which is certainly not that rare. Should make for interesting TV.
This certainly has been an interesting story on many boards, not just here and Team Camaro, but on several other boards as well. Some brought up an interesting point that there was a light purple color available in 1969. Is it possible that you requested "Evening Orchid" and the paint used was actually called "Sunset Silver", which is what that light purple color was called in 1969?

I would have never ordered a car in a "silver" color as mrs clem wanted a purple car but it turned out to be not purple enough for her. orchids are purple in color and I was familiar with EO from other GM cars painted that color. I think people are using that sunset silver argument to cover their behinds
