One of the stories my dad liked to tell was about how hard they had to work at Chevrolet Flint Manufacturing (aka "Chevy in the Hole") to get the gas cap to end up straight when it was in the fully locked position. Between the assembly variation within the cap itself, the variation of the cam lock to the fuel tank filler neck, the variation of the neck to the tank, and the tank installation to the vehicle body, it was an ongoing issue.
When he saw Danny Scott's Pro Street Camaro that is one of the first things he noticed: Danny used the gas cap as the master electrical cutoff switch. Rotated out of position = "Off" Rotated into position = "On"

Agree this Z could clean up well. Full detail top to bottom and inside. Wax and buff, shampoo carpet, clean up seats, dash etc. Clean up engine compartment. Leave original.

I'm going to think he put that astronomical price in there to scare off the flippers . Says something in the ad about not wanting to see it go overseas & wants it to go to a real collector . Would imagine if a real buyer came along that really wants the car & would keep it , the price would drop accordingly . Just my guess .......

Another possibility is he had an offer that he's willing to accept, but Ebay rules aren''t allowing him to end the auction for some reason. Therefore, he put the opening bid up so high no one will bid on it, and the auction will end at a no sale, allowing him to close the deal with his buyer. That happened to a friend of mine on a project car he was selling several years ago.

It is a very nice car, however with the parts it needs, and to rebuild the engine, a lot for a 68. Knowing him though, he may get it!
