Don Stowers Deepwater Blue 67 Z....
 

I purchased the Deep Water Blue car in May, 1992 from an ad in Hemmings. The car needed total restoration and came with all new NOS exterior sheet metal ready to be installed along with numerous other NOS parts. I am the second owner and the original owner has been able to supply much history on the car. The original dealer order form, window sticker and pro-tecto-plate came with the car. The 67 Z-28 window sticker shown on page 121 of MacNeish's 67-68 Z-28 Fact Book is from my car. The restoration was started in 1996 and completed in 2001. Westover Auto Rebuild, Maple Valley, Washington performed the body and paint work. All other restoration work, except the trunk paint, was done by myself. The Super Car Workshop did the trunk paint. The car had been undercoated when new so the floor pans were mint and did not require replacement. The original engine was replaced (short block) under warranty (with supporting paper work) with all other drive line components remain original to the car.

The car scored 93% in the Diamond judging at the Worldwide Camaro Associations 2000 show, Gold Spinner Award at the 2001 Vettefest and 94% in the Bowtie class at the 2003 American Camaro Association show.

I will have the car at the upcoming SCR in Collinsville.

I was going to bring some beer to the SCR and then I remembered Marlin would be there and would drink it all.

Re: Don Stowers Deepwater Blue 67 Z....
 

I was confused, I promise! It was Don's beer in Charley's trunk, good stuff though https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Don Stowers Deepwater Blue 67 Z....
 

Actually, I bought that case (in Charley's trunk) to repay Don for the brews I bummed off him at Carlisle. By the time Don and I returned from dinner, all that was left was the empties on the ground.

But fear not, we're bringing Rainier to this year's reunion.

PS: Nice car, Don! Wish I had one like it.

Re: Don Stowers Deepwater Blue 67 Z....

Hi Don,

Don Berry here. I remember when you first got that car and the headers were in the trunk - just like the old days!

Re: Don Stowers Deepwater Blue 67 Z....
 

Hi Don,

Wish I bought your car when I had the chance! I went to Fairfield, CT to see the car with my brother and was excited to see the 4L on the cowl tag, view the original papers and meet the original owner, Tucker. I was the one who sent the paperwork copies to Jerry for his book. That car was very fast and it was a scary ride on the parkway-felt like a big block once the engine started to breathe. I thought Tucker was high on his price but knew it would sell and I would kick myself for years and I was right! In 1992, there couldn't have been too many original owners of a 1967 Z-28. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/stupid.gif

Yeah, Yeah.... I have been absent from posting, but that doesn't mean I haven't been lurking here. In fact the recent Fastback Nova discussion pushed me over the edge on my latest project.

I've been modifying and racing my '64 for years and have always wanted to build a Alan Green fastback replica.

I actually got to drive the Yenko to and from the first Super Chevy Show in Seattle. It still had the barn find bias tires on it - https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Great to talk to you again Don. We'll have to hook up.
