I did this when I had my '68 Z and eventually I preferred the cowl look and stayed with it most of the time - but when I sold it it was a good selling point to be able to offer it with the option to have it configured whichever way the buyer wanted - with paint and stripes that obviously matched perfectly..!

Sweet Z indeed!! Keep the pics coming. Not too many cars out there where you can purchase from the original owner. Enjoy it...

what a great story and great car. but no way could i paint that car. im sure it looks worse in person than the pictures but god only knows how many restored 69 Z's are out there. (not too mention the tens of thousands of fake ones). how many are like this? very few. BUT its your car and you can do anything you want with it. i sold my superbird and my daytona to the same guy and when he bought them he wanted me to know his intentions and i told him that they were his cars now and if he wanted to set them on fire and burn them to the ground in front of my house im cool with it as long as it doesnt set my property on fire.

both 69 Zs are great looking cars. I have never seen a orange Z with orange houndstooth interior. I really like that combination. flat hood & no rear spoiler, I really like you don't see alot of those. thanks

Based on Chevrolet option totals, only approximately 525 Coupes were built with the 720 orange houndstooth interior. That means less than 100 were Z/28s. I managed to own two of them, both sold new out of Dale Chevrolet. Still a few here in the Milwaukee area, one an RS.

The first '69 Camaro I owned [top] was an X77 Z/28, N684692. Purchased July 1975, 302 long gone. Not built with the ducted hood.

Next up was another one, this one a JL-8 car. Did not record the VIN unfortunately. Had headers and angle-plug heads. Had 15 x 8s painted white; slight fender flares. Didn't keep it long, leaked everything. Both ended up in IL, never saw either of them again. Probably still around somewhere.

There is a 69 Z28 RS for sale on Ebay now that is hugger orange/black top and black stripes with a 720 cowl tag but it has black interior. 10E Norwood car.

William is there a break down between plants on 720 interiors?
