Looks like it will be a fun project and love those early 68 Z's with the 302 fender emblems. Now start to take inventory of what you have and what you might need.  ;D

The Nice thing it was complete and fairly stock when broke in 79'
Roger started a 13 year restoration & I am proud to continue.

I will be posting a bunch of as found in 2004 (Or as he disassembled the car) & parts as collected.

Since it was parked outside in 79' in the PNW most colors and finishes suffered. (Esp the Orange stripe re-painting funny!)

But the Huge positive is it was intact when roger took it apart and he KEPT & Labeled EVERYTHING.

You are going to see errors and not MCACN level compromises along the journey.

Great project.  More pics!  Every car doesnt need nor have to be a "MCACN level" restoration.  Build it the way you want and enjoy it!

OK, Just got back from the Seattle SOVERN Historic's racing at Pacific Raceways, When group 3 ran the hair stood up on my neck.

OK. I go pick up the car Sunday

But lets start by posting some disassy pics Roger took in 2004.
Keep a keen eye on the 1968 clues as I do not have any paper on this car.-

Plus a few head scratchers.

Bill, I just nicknamed the Car, Probably silly of me, no real historical significance outside of the local (Kitsap County Wa) history.  I  have known about the car since 2004 but the amazing part is it sat (broken) from 1979-2004. Dang Rust. His (Roger's) uncle passed away last year  &  I am finishing Rogers Gilmores good work..
He told me his aunt & uncle traded in a super beetle for the Camaro & Roger remembers riding around in the Z in town with his aunt driving, made an impression on him.  I might be a bit enthusiastic as I have not purchased a Camaro since they were giving them away in 1984. This project will be so much fun. For me I sold a 1967 230cu 4 speed car in 84' & rowing gears has been limited to S10's & Toyotas.
Tons more pics to post.

Thanks for asking. I sure wish it had 12900 miles like yours.
This car has  86,314 for a basic 10 year period. Seems the PNW elements were harder on it,,,,
