Yes sir and I own it now. Wont ever be for sale again and one of the nicest originals with 85% of its original paint left. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. For some reason there was lots of taint on this car right from the first guy telling us it was his neighbors car that he doesn't get along with. Well that fellow was the 2nd owner of this Beautiful low mile Z28 for 35 years which came with original documentation and what he told me is hated tire kickers, know it all's, and test pilots.

Steve thanks for all the help and honesty you have given me and Mike is pretty cool dude who also really knows his stuff. She sits perfectly next to my Bloomington Gold Survivor 1969 Corvette 427/435 MA6 who also has its bumps and bruises..
