Daytona Yellow X-77 on BAT

**RSSSfan** · #1 06-03-2021, 02:42 PM

Looks like a pretty decent car in a good color combo, but why would someone go through the trouble of repainting the car without painting the grille surround and getting the correct color on the grille. This along with a lot of other little details should limit what this car sells for. But of course 69 Z's have been a little insane over on BAT lately.

What do you guys think of the trim tag and engine stampings?

Lots of little things, but I dig the narrow rear spoiler. The misplaced front badge seems like the oddest one to get wrong…

Should an 01C car have the smaller spoiler? I thought they had made the changeover by then.

I think both narrow and full-width spoilers have been observed through at least 02D. Not sure how long the crossover was.

Real cowl tag

Agreed that the tag is good. Engine stamping looks good too.
Theres no doubt its a real Z. I would not think it brings top dollar from the numerous issues I see with it. If it hits $50K the seller should take it.

The headliner and sail panels pretty much tell the story on the quality of restoration.

My bet is that car gets sold to someone who takes it to, not the next level, but two or three levels above where it is now, and sells it at an auction in January in Florida or Arizona. A yellow Z/28 with good numbers and tags will do the money if it’s laid out right. Lots to fix, but even starting at $50 large or so, there is still some upside hiding under the surface.

The car needs lots of things corrected to make it right. Maybe a bit too much for someone to not end up, upside down. (How do I know this?) lmao

The small rear spoiler was still available into late February so the deck spoiler is likely original. I can't say the same for the cowl hood, or the styled trim group items that were added to the exterior. At best, it looks like an amateur restoration was performed and the car would need some parts/trim corrections and some paint repairs to make it better.

I wonder how the BAT bidding will go on this one given the issues?

In this market probably over $70k

Yes agree, lots of little things wrong, and typical of an amathur resto.
