Default 1972 Z28 from Craigs list...

Check out the 72 Z28 that popped up on CL the other day...
I didn't want to post until we had the car picked up and on it's way to South Carolina -
Woman(widow) who was selling said it was her husband's and the car was older than she was and her husband had it before they were married. (looking at the CL ad she really had no idea - edelbrock carb? - but a holley is on it... - 6 cyl?
ANYWAY... here are the options -
Z28, 4 spd, console, dlx interior, custom seat belts, AM/FM, rear defog, style trim, recessed wipers, spoilers and stripes. GULF GREEN. The original air cleaner is in the trunk. Didn't ask too many questions due to the price...

FWIW it has the original shift knob (72 and 73 only) as well as some of the original lug nuts along with the non existent Original trunk mat.
The woman said it is silver but the driver picking up said it's light green - IMHO The car COULD be PEWTER which sometimes looks like gulf green and sometimes looks silver.

Photo of the car on the trailer - also two original paint PEWTER Paint 72's.

Wow nice buy for sure. Solid car. If it were me , i detail this car and leave it as is. Add the missing Z-28 emblem and other missing parts with used pieces that look original and faded with the car. Enjoy.

That's the current plan... the car is a cali/AZ car it's entire life and there is no rust showing so it is in all likely hood as solid as it appears. MAY have to put a Vtop back on - though a new top may be WAY out of place - having an aged one would make the look, we shall see.

It appears to have the same fan as my brother's 73 Z28. Did they switch to a NON clutch fan in 1972?
