Thanks for the all the pics.  It was a lot of work to post all that info and I appreciate the opportunity to learn from your sharing.  Good luck with the restoration.

Boy, you sure have your work cut out for you. Are you doing the restoration or did you hire someone?

I know i asked you in August @KurtS. I try to figure out how the car came from the factory and maybe how rare or how many with this options were build.

Thanks @KurtS

Ed, i do the mechanic work. Engine, trans, suspension and get parts. The owner of the car has a body shop so he is doing the body work. We did a 1968 Olds 442 together. Nut and bolt restoration. I own a 1966 Impala 2dr coupe. I lived in Denver, CO 14 years ago and since then i am a big fan of U.S Cars. Of course id`like to have a 1969 Camaro or a 1966 Chevelle but these cars are to high in price for me. So i am happy with my 1966 Impala bought from the original owner in Mesa,AZ in very good original condition.

So enough of dreaming, let`s get back to the Z28

Sweet project. 

Does it have the stainless steel "Disk Brake" trim on the brake pedal?  Mine did not have it (should have) and it is only 330 cars away from yours.

Stingr69, Yes it has the stainless trim and logo on the brake pedal. What you mean 330 Cars away from mine??

910 VIN's from mine, 516355, and same date on the Muncie

My 69Z that I sold about 6 years ago had a VIN only 30 cars away from yours: N515415

It was in the group of VIN's that NCRS did not have docs for, so I wasn't able to verify the original Dealer delivery info.

It had a CE warranty 302 engine in it, but since had its original factory installed matching number M22 trans I basically knew it was a real Z/28.

Might have been sitting right next to yours going down the assembly line...

[Hotroths]

@hubleyman so where are the missing docs if crg does not have it? Very nice to get infos like that. Do you miss the Car??

Here is the rear Axle fresh from sandblasting.

I also have a 10A build week.  330 VIN's away from yours.  It did not have the stainless trim on the brake pedal when I got the car in '79 but the power brake booster and master cylinder are original to the vehicle.  I have not added the trim but maybe I should.

I can relate to this completely. I’ve also bought a Camaro in a box. 67 convertible, 4 wheels and a steering wheel to move it. No seats, nothing forward of the firewall sheet metal, wiring harnesses, top was gone but the frame was there, or anything else mounted. The rest was in boxes, crates and laying on the floor or stuck in the trunk, or inside the garage. The owner had big plans that never happened. $1500 and I took it away on the trailer with the pickup bed full.
I shared a hobby shop with my fellow camaro club friends and worked on it every day after work and some long weekends. 80 or so man hours later I was driving it, then had a friend paint it Tahoe Turquoise (thanks to seeing Jerry McNeish’s Z). It was a driver, not a show car. I just cleaned everything/rust prevented it/rattle canned it, assembled it. I eventually put a 5 speed from a Pontiac TA and a hydraulic clutch in it, and I enjoyed it till I sold it.
