My new toy, 1968 Z28 14,500 miles!
 

This is my new toy, a original 14,500 mile 68 Z28 with the original paint and interior. I was fortunate enough to talk to the original owner, he told me he sold the car in the early 90’s. Up until then, he said the car was never in any weather and only got wet once! He told me the story about being at a restaurant and it started to drizzle, he waited until the payment was dry before he left.

The car is pretty unique and fully documented with the original window sticker and two dealer invoices. It was ordered with stripe delete dash paint code, deluxe interior, tach/gauges, rally sport package and a vinyl top. The original vinyl top still has both original plastic strips in the gutters. I also received a set of original tires that are on the car!
One of the interesting things about the car, is under the cowl was still painted white in preparation for the white stripes.

The lack of stripes and early 302 fender emblems really makes this car a sleeper.

Unfortunately the engine has been out of the car due to the timing chain gear breaking. Even though all the casting numbers and date codes match, I am unsure at this time if the engine is original.

The engine now has a all original 1968 GM crossram with matching 4210 carburetors, original GM Kustom headers and a all original GM transistor ignition set up. I did received the original, carb, intake, distributor, smog set up with the car.

The front plate is a original GM pre-production advertising and car show plate.

I am looking forward to having a lot of fun with this unassuming crossramed sleeper Z!

Wow!!how long were you tracking it?

I have been trying to buy this car for a little over a year. Doug Perry knows that I am found of 68 Z’s and turned me on to the car. I would like to send a special thanks to Doug!

FANTASTIC Z!! Congrats on a super killer car!

Wow, great car with great paperwork. I like the day 2 changes and I’d gladly live with those.

Did this car come from Reynoldsburg, OH and did you buy it from the late owners widow?
Brian

That is a real gem......GLW Purchase......window sticker too - wow

did u get the protecto-plate as well??

Very nice! Transistorized ignition too?

Paul it was a pleasure helping out. Your car came from a great home to it’s current great home. Your original paperwork speaks for itself and you can’t dispute original owners that are still alive and original paperwork. Go enjoy that cool Hot Rod.

It did come from central Ohio but not Reynoldsburg....and the previous owner prior to Paul is still kickin...no widow. I live 10 minutes from Reynoldsburg.... I know who you are talking about ...he still has his car .

Wow! So Cool!

Congrats! So interesting about the Fisher Stripe cowl treatment then No Stripes, Stealth Mode.
Can't wait to see more of this.

Thank you Steve for putting the car in your Vintage Cerification Heritage display.

Thank you for all of the positive comments! It is nice to be the caretaker of such a special Z28.

I am getting ready to go in the garage and put the original Muncie shifter and back up light switch back on the car.

The car looks great Paul. This is the same one you sent me all the pictures of a few months ago?

Actually, I think I showed you my other 68 Z.

Curiosity question - how would the strip delete be annotated - order form, window sticker or??? Obviously i was looking for it and dont see it noted - or did i miss it?

Whoa !!! What a Sneaky,Cool Car !!!

The delete stripe is noted on the last line of the window sticker “1001AA PAINT”.

Trim tag

Here is a picture of the trim tag with the “- 2” paint code.

Note how the “P” is backwards on the P T B stamp.

This original picture also has the backward “P” on the passenger side.

That looks like the same color as a 1967 Tahoe Turquoise. I know digital photos and computer monitors can be deceiving. Is it the same as a 67 TT?

Thank you....yes and the - on the trim tag
