    Was supposed to be a Christmas present but Santa is getting old and slow. Received entire floor from from fire wall to rear tail pan, inner and outer rockers, inner and outer rear quarter panels, cowl panels, package tray and all the metal around the rear window opening (we call it the General Motors Syndrome), inner front fenders, and just about everything but the top, hood, and deck lid. Rear sub frame was rusted away but now has a full frame rather than sub frames. Primer spots are from usual assembly nicks and owners decision to delete factory mirrors. They were worthless to him as the seat has to be all the way back to the rear seat cushion. He's TALL.

    Beautiful.

    I thought all Z/28's in 1969 were 4-speeds? Do you know if it's a legit RS - Z/28 or is it perhaps a clone?

    It used to have a 4sp but he's so tall moving the shifter back to a comfortable position was a hassle so he opted for an automatic. Here is the original 302 block being prepared for freshening up in case he ever sells it. Has a very salty 383 stroker right now but everything factory was saved. 302 DZ 007.jpg

    I've always wanted one of these! Maybe if I win the lottery I'll by one alone with the 2016 version!
