Default Re: '71 Z 28 on E Bay

I believe the story goes that the original owner drag raced the car back in the 70's and installed an Automatic transmission and somehow lost the original 4 speed crossmember. The engine is apparently original and never been out of the car. I presume the owner kept the original M-22 and that is now back in the car but I have not seen the stamping to prove it. Very nice original car overall.

The current owner states that he painted the car but I would question why that was done. What paint was used, were the stripes applied correctly, and so on. Was it a quick job to increase the value of the car for resale purposes? I would have rather purchased the car with the older repaint and then painted the car myself.
