Amazing 17,000-mile original paint '71 Z/28
 

Wow, love everything about this one. Sold new at Brooklyn Chevrolet in Cleveland, and still has the original decal on the rear bumper.

Neat to still see the hood pins on such a rare car when nearly every other Z has since had them removed and welded up....

Wow awesome Z!

That undercarriage is amazing...

My 67 Impala was sold new at Brooklyn Chevy. The dealership has since closed but the building is still there. They sell used cars there now.

Pretty amazing car. Not cheap, but unlikely to ever find another in this shape. Hard to believe an Ohio car can be so incredibly clean. Kudos to the original owner for being such a great caretaker.

Amazing story. Nice car. Here are some pictures before some stuff was changed out. https://www.kloompy.com/cars/1971-ch...-z28-lt1_i5119

It went from 13k to 60k?! In a year ? Wow

Bet it runs great with the headers.

Gorgeous!! I would love to have this one!

Somebody was asleep at the wheel if they really sold that car for $13,000 a year ago.

Looks like we talked about it on this site a few years back: Link

"Kloompy"???? Who were the marketing wizards that came up with that name? :haha: Never even heard of it before. I agree, if it sold on there for $13K last year, that was WAY too cheap. If that car was Ziebarted when new, someone did a lot of work to get it looking like it is now.

I didn't take the story to serious when I seen a gold colored seat belt bolt sticking out of the bottom of the car.

My 70 has 6 gold and two chrome bolts. I've had it since 78 and it has always had these belts in it. The shoulder bolts are also chrome.

My brother and I looked a this car a couple years ago before it went to Mecum. The car is legit but at that time the car was heavily ziebarted so I imagine someone spent a considerable amount of time under this car but I also believe that it is truly as nice as the pictures show it. After all its been protected since new.

Somebody did one hell of a time consuming job cleaning all the Ziebart off the underbody!!

Wow, can you even imagine the labor involved? I believe this car would be well bought around $50k- not sure the 71-73s are in the $60+ range yet, from what I have seen. Although, this is one of the best ‘71s I have personally seen.

I wonder why he chose to put 1970 tailpipes on it after investing in a NOS muffler?

I didn’t know 70 had different tailpipes! How are they different?

71,72 & 73 did not have the additional bend toward the outside of the car near the exit of the tailpipe.

My 79 z28 was heavily Ziebarted. I took 90% of it off by hooking up my pressure washer to hot water and blasted it right off. I was surprised. Then I took ditzo 440 and the residue came of very easy to shiny paint and original primer. Car has 36,000 miles and looks brand new under where it was Ziebarted. It was on the tops of my fenders and fender wells. Lower rear valance and floorboards. Black specks of rustproofing was flying everywhere!!

Learn something every day! Thanks
Buddy

I did the same thing on an 80 Z28 and a 76 TA I had. What a mess! But, it was well worth it!

My ‘65 GTO that came out of New Jersey has this mess under it.

Someday it may get removed.

Did somebody spray bomb the booster and master cylinder, or did they paint them at the factory? I have a 2nd gen booster that I believe is dated for a 1971 car that was never installed from the best that I can tell. The cad plating on it is really nice. Would look great on this car.
