1968 Z28 Barn Find
« on: May 26, 2016, 01:56:47 PM »
It finally happened, fell into a 68 Z28 barn find that has been sitting over 30 years.  All numbers matching, hurt head and block but repairable. 712 Teal blue with L2 white stripes and black vinyl.  Lots of NOS stuff too.  But I'm missing the fan blade and fan clutch, bell housing, Valve Covers, and Intake manifold.  Any help locating these parts for under the insane prices I see on eBay appreciated.  thanks

Hey, congrats! What a fortunate find. Nice color too. Pretty sure I have a nice, Untouched, unmolested, never blasted 618 intake. Unless one of my buddies on here want it and PM such request or help me price it by PM , I will take an offer. Welcome to a great site.

First thing to do is check everything to determine what other items might be missing and what you have. Way to go and welcome aboard. Just love them 68 Z/28's. What NOS parts came with it?
Congrats.....

Well.. :) ...   The OP is a newbie and may be trying to figure out how to post photos.. and it may not be worthless to him (just to us without the photos!).. :)

But... PLEASE BruceC...  post again, tell us more about the car, and if you are having difficulty posting photos, let us know and we can help you.   Once we see photos of such a nice car, you'll get lots more help! 

notes:  The cast date for the aluminum Winters Z28 manifolds are all on the bottom of the manifold and can't be seen once engine is assembled, so I'd suggest paying more attention to 'condition' of the manifold than to the date code.   The chrome valve covers for a '68 can be difficult to find, but I'd bet once you post a photo of your engine, someone here will find you a pair.. :)   I've got some extra fans, but not sure about the '68 fans ..  what pn you need, etc.
