Cool picture and history behind that car. Anyone wanna reason to guess what that one would be worth if it came up for sale?

I think it would be up there with the Hemi drop tops myself.

Didn't' all the paper work for this car go missing at an auction a few years back???

Paperwork of a one-of-a-kind Camaro Z-28 convertible is stolen from auction

Quote:

AUBURN, Ind. -- A one-of-a-kind Z-28 Camaro convertible built for a former General Motors Corp. executive is missing its keys, title and original bill of sale -- all of them stolen during a classic car auction.

Bids fell short for the convertible, which was created for Elliott Estes, former general manager of GM’s Chevrolet division. It was expected to bring $1 million to $2 million at the Kruse International Auction Park.

A briefcase with the papers and owner Kathy Maynard’s purse were left in her Suburban for a few moments Thursday evening. Both are now missing.

“That was all the information in the world,” Maynard said. “We’re sick.”

She said she figures someone took the bags for cash without realizing what they contained and hopes that the thief dumped the paperwork on the Kruse grounds.

Auctioneer Dean Kruse has promised a substantial reward for the bags’ return.

Although Maynard’s husband, Al Maynard, has copies of the documentation, he agrees that the originals enhance the car.

The dark green muscle car is the only Z-28 Camaro convertible in the world and was built on a central office production order. Estes had it outfitted with racing parts.

“It’s probably the best Camaro in the world, as far as desirability,” Kruse said.

Chevy was into SCCA road racing and liked to bring prototypes and new stuff to the races to show them off

convertibles were always popular as pace cars like the 67 Camaro Cherokee and the 68 Z

you can see some of them on youtube if you search the 1960's races

not many photos around but there are some like the yellow Z/427 (ZL1 powered 1969 Camaro) and custom Corvettes and others that were displayed at the races

Chevy even had a custom truck to bring them around

Here are a couple of really nice photos of this rare car. The link below each photo is the full size. They are very large so I resized and cropped them for this post. Just click on the link, then the photo and it will go to it's full size.
