Re: 1969 Z/28 Trans Am Race Car Found
The previous owner of the car was a "Hoarder" of sorts... He was/is a true car person. He has a piece of property that has well over 20 vehicles on it in all sorts of conditions... He has his Triumph race car that he raced in the 1970's sitting in the weeds next to his house! He was friends with Ken Stoodart. When the car came up for sale sometime in the 1970's he purchased the car and stowed it away in his building... Some local people knew he had the car... The town he lives in wants him to clean up his yard so increasing pressure from them made him consider selling off some of his pride and joy vehicles... I was lucky enough to receive a call from a good friend of mine informing me of the car. Wasting no time I drove out to see the car.. After a few weeks of negotiating I purchased he car... I am not sure at this point if I am going to restore it or pass it on to someone who is looking for a real documented Trans Am Z/28 race car... I am restoring a 1969 Z/28 X77 Daytona Yellow factory M22 car right now... This would be my fourth 1969 Z/28 restoration...
