I'm seeing a couple of confusing typos.
"When I looked up the two-letter MP code stamped into the block, my motor's manual listed this as a '67 290hp 327 with AIR. I knew that couldn't be correct because that was a Z/28 engine-and at this point I didn't want to believe this was a Z/28. Where were the aluminum intake, Holley carb, and four-speed?"
327?
Also this
"The car was equipped in much the same condition as I purchased it 19 years later, but Mary was quick to point out that it was in fact a Z/28"
1967-1979 is 12 years.
It's a good article but those two things definitely threw me off.

Ain't no fun in viewing your car as an 'investment'. Get out there and beat on it!
