WHOOO HOOO!!!! She's a REAL Z!! (Just like I thought...)
« on: July 23, 2015, 01:33:43 AM »
Jerry MacNeish just left my shop.  Spent a few hours with him while he went through my '68 Z28.  Really nice guy.  Had an interesting conversation while he did his thing.

He said that it was "a nice survivor", with matching numbers on the engine, tranny, rear end, rims, carb, and distributor.  The booster, MC, fan clutch, radiator, and a few other pieces are not, all of which I knew.

I did all my homework before I bought the car, so I wasn't that worried, but it did eliminate any doubt at all as to the car's authenticity.  The car is not perfect by a long stretch, but it's solid, it runs, drives, and stops, so I can drive it as is for now.

Very nice Chris!

My Z's are JM certified as well - he is a very nice guy.

Maybe you could post a photo of your car?

Beyond a NICE feeling I put a lot of stock in Certified cars and that should translate to value and keep the doubters at bay.

I would be interested in the service the Next time he makes a PNW swing.
