I helped my buddy pick this up recently. 69 Z/28 purchased by previous owner in the early 1970s. Parked since 1984 in a backyard. The owner, Larry Schreib, published magazine articles and wrote how to books including Smokey Yunick's Power Secrets. My friend and I have been visiting the car and owner for 5+ years and my buddy finally was able to purchase and we hauled it home yesterday. It's got a hi-po built 302 by Gale Banks Engineering's engine guy, Hank The Crank did the crank and special rods and pistons. This special sbc tripower intake setup is one of 3 or 4 developed by Smokey Yunick. The previous owner bought the intake from Smokey in the early 1980's while putting together his book. The car also has a Doug Nash 5 speed, full Recaro interior, and driver's side had these cool Christen Aerobatic aircraft seat belts. Larry also has a set of 15x8 Corvette rally wheels he ran on the car with offset changed to fit car (4.5" BS rear, 5.5" BS front). Cool car.
