Rare Tuxedo black/Orange houndstooth Z/28

[Canadian Z/28]

Good morning folks, it has been a long time since I last posted anything on the internet. A lot has happened in my life and through the support of family and friends I have managed to regain the passion I had lost for this incredible hobby. I am hoping someone here knows the whereabouts of my old Canadian documented tuxedo black/ white stripe orange houndstooth 1969 Z/28. I owned the car for many years and was forced to sell it in the fall of 2009. I would dearly like to buy the car back! And help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much to the CRG for allowing me to be a member and share my quest to one day be reunited with a car that means more than you can imagine to me and my family!
Respectfully,
Canadian Z/28

That has to be an extremely rare combo, so if anyone on here has seen it, they should remember it. Good luck with your search!

[Canadian Z/28]

Good morning Leonard, thank you very much. I am certain that someone on this site has knowledge of where my car is now. The current owner may not have any intention of selling the vehicle however it would be great to speak with them and know that my old car is being cared for. I think almost everyone here has sold something they wish they had never had to! This 69 Z/28 is that one for me!

Post the VIN and the moderators might take a peek at the database to see if it's surfaced here before. More than a few black Z's have been discussed on the forum over the last many years -

Regards,
Steve

That’s a great idea Steve! The VIN is 124379N684682

I hope it shows up so we can see photos of that color combo!

Have you tried the Ministry of Transportation?

[Canadian Z/28]

No I have not tried the ministry. That is a very good idea however it will only tell me if the car still remains in Ontario. I suspect the car is now in the United States. Hopefully someone will share the whereabouts. It is an awesome looking car for sure!

Is that the car that R English owned at one time? I thought I remember seeing it on display at Motororama in Toronto years ago.
The display sign referred to it as "The Great Pumpkin"

I'm not sure I would have liked this combination in '69. But now I'd be a lover. Hope you find it.

I Don’t think it can be the same car that was originally posted .

The Richard English Camaro Heaven Z28 was owned by long time drag racer Ken R, out of Edmonton Ab, it was a race car for many years and went through lots of changes over the years with different motor combinations, but it was a black/orange houndstooth car too.

[Canadian Z/28]

You guys are awesome! You have incredible memories and that is why I am now asking for your help! That is most definitely the same car and Ken R. was the previous owner. You are 100% correct about the drive train, it was changed many times and the car had been drag raced and still possessed the racing seat belts, line lock, and several other racing related items when I purchased it. The overall integrity of the car had not been affected by its racing history. The car was a clean rust free vehicle which only required refurbishing and detail work. The interior was all original and had not been cut or damaged in any way. Does anyone know the whereabouts of the car today?

[rszmjt]

I would contact Richard English from Camaro Heaven to see if he has a record of where it went. Here is a picture of it from Edmonton International Speedway , late 70,s.

People were looking for Richard back in 2019 already and the Great Pumpkin earlier than that.

Unless Canadian Z28 is Richard himself?

11 years ago it was for sale in ON. I don't recall it surfacing lately.
Neither the tag nor the drivetrain is original, fwiw.
