You guys taught me to run it as it is for a while. Enjoy it and it can always be worked on later. At first I pictured it restored like the picture below. But now it's all about survivor. Too much fun!! D

Danny, I love how much you are enjoying your car! Don't make a trailer queen out of it. My 67 RS/SS was a fun driver, bought from the original owner in 1984. I put it in storage after getting married and buying a house in 1989. I took it out of moth balls in 2004 and started a four year frame off, nut and bolt restoration on it. Since finishing it in 2008, I think I have put about 750 miles on it!

Well, after 2 days of texting back and fourth, we agreed on a price.

I should have it home is the next 2-3 weeks.

And so it begins...

Good for you, welcome :)


Price was between you two...

Nice to hear of another one finding a good home, and not rotting away.

As far as price goes, you all know what he was asking for it.

You all also know what the general opinion of value was...some said ok, more said a little too high.

I paid less than his asking price, but he probably thinks that he sold it for a little less than he should have, and I think that I probably paid a little more than I should have.

But...we're both happy with the outcome, and I'm PSYCHED to have a numbers matching car.

Can't wait to get take that maiden (for me) ride.

WTG Chris.

I am excited for you just like I was for Danny to get his Z. I hope everything goes smoothly with the transaction, and bringing it home. The view of the Camaro in your garage is priceless! Those are the pics I want to see.

What a Christmas gift!

Nice score Chris!  I had a 68 in high school when it was 3 years old.  Brings back lot's of memories.  The car cost me a whopping $1,100. with 54k on the engine.  Lemans Blue, blue interior.  Traded it in, 1974....for get this a 73 Vega GT.  Now for the tragic part......the dealer gave me $650, for a perfectly good, stock Z/28.   What dope I was.

Enjoy.

Circa 1972, the only two polaroids I have.

I bet the Vega got lots better gas mileage than the Z28!!  and I'd also bet that had a lot to do with your trading it in the midst of the '74 gas crunch, and also impacted what your dealer allowed you for trade in.. :)

Man, there were some great deals on great cars in those days..  one part of me was saying to 'buy one or two'.. and another part was saying .. 'and what if you can't get gas for them?'... :)

Ever tried to run it to ground ? Any VIN records ?

I lived through the gas crunch myself, but fortunately kept my Z.

At the least - you didn't trade for a Pinto -
