Re: WIW - 68 Z/28 Day 2 Garage Find?
Yeah, I think you're right on the cage. Never did look inside the car; when I was there, I was focused on another car.
Pulled up my notes on the Z. More details - according to the owner, it ran 14.30's as delivered. Has 5.87 gears, not 5.13. Ran 11.22 with a tunnel rammed 302. 11,000 miles. 2d owner who has it now bought it from his brother, who was the original owner.
Conflicting details on the engine. Notes say the original 302 was blown up in 1970 or so and that it has a non-original 302 in it now, but think the owner told me that it had an LT1 now and that he had the original 302.
Not that it really matters. I haven't been able to buy the car yet. Guy who owns it knows I want it, but these stories never seem to have happy endings -- I expect to hear one day that he sold it to a friend for $5,000.
