end of 40year road trip
Hello, New old guy here. Story For Ya. 1968 my older brother buys new Z28 from Fencl Tufo, about 7 miles from our home. British Green,console delete, M22 and 4.56 rear end! Cool! After a few years sells it to our little brother who wants it bad but soon trades off for ratty 66 Vette,Big Bro goes nuts, would have bought it back.
Bad vibe for next 40 years but both had other 1st gen Camaros over the years. Last year little Bro buys plain old 68 Camaro and, you guessed it,the Z is back! First finds big fuel line. Then traces of original green paint!
Calls big Bro and sure enuff though we cant find anything with a A VIN he finds three unique tell tales from back in the day. One of which is a shortened wheel lip molding with an extra screw he zipped in when the car was pretty new and remains to this day! It was just a car then and ya did stuff like that. Like tossing the POP
Yup did, that too. We have polaroids of big bro and his brand new Z28 but no docs. I have sent for shipping info but we know all that.It got an engine transplant under warranty at Fencl Tufo (69)
and the tranny was stolen while there. Also replaced with 69 M22. That's all long gone. The car will never leave the family but for the sake of the car we will try to find a way to document it. Some where out there is a 68 M22 last six 411496. Its in the process of being restored to as it was on the showroom floor! Any ideas for us? Will post pics from new til now when my son shows me how!sorry about long post ,wanted to share this freak occurance ,it can happen. Now if I could stumble upon our 69 442 W32 Ram Air car also purchased new life would be good! Mom looked good in that car,thats another story.
