69 Z28 RS JL8 Crossram car listed at BJ auction

[70 copo]

In this market - I think right now you could take a wrong drivetrain Z-28, put in a drivetrain out of a late model Corvette, (make sure it has working AC) put 22" wheels on it and I bet the market would nearly bring as much as a restored example. Modified rods are hot. The older enthusist/collector seem to want the looks of the old car but the comfort of a modern car too. With a newer drivetrain you can get both, and the big wheels bring the car up to today's trend.

As usual, you guys got me confused again, many posts were made indicating the JL8 advertising stated "Unrestored". Okay, maybe I'm getting old, blind, better quality with certain vice's, it is too late at night, or morning, however you see it, but after reading the ad three times all I can find is the word "restored". Someone want to un-confuse me please?

Motown this should clarify.
Last year the car was advertised by Jim Stubbings as an unrestored JL8 Z-28. The car had been painted black from its original LeMans Blue but the interior and engine compartment remained untouched. After a few guys passed on the car, my father included, it sold to the man who brought it to BJ. The owner swears up and down that the documentation backing up the January JL-8 build is correct and authentic. (not taking anything away from this car!) We have out doubts though. The owner painted the car is original LeMans Blue and strapped on a Cross Ram unit as well. I personally do not think this car is unrestored at all. It also seems as if the engine compartment has been detailed to an extent too. I hope you guys were talking about this car!
