Sorry guys; I was just alerted that the ad was posted over here....to answer a few questions.
1) The X7 on the rear bulkhead; dunno what to tell you except that it is what it looked like when I pulled the rear seat, and the cardboard backer off. My camera does tend to make light stuff really light, but it doesn't look too different, and is very similar to others I've seen.
To answer some of the other stuff.....the car is a survivor in the sense that it retains its original DZ and M21, and has not been monkeyed with. The paint isn't perfect (although it was repainted, who knows when...definitely not recently), the gaps of the fenders, doors and hood aren't laser straight, the underside isn't perfectly detailed with added chalk and factory paint markings, its a car that's been owned, driven and enjoyed. Sure, its not a survivor in the sense that I found it in Farmer Johnson's hay barn, its just managed to make it nearly 40 years without a concourse restoration.

I see prices have returned to earth. Nice car. Priced about right.

Not sure you can base that on this car. The car is obviously NOT a survivor. Has incorrect paint, hood, grill, incorrect ride height/springs and many missing/incorrect pieces under the hood. No information regarding documentaion, and is low option car.

In 40 years, the "use" items like the alternator, starter, distributor, carb and manifolds have disappeared, but are readily avilable for purchase through any vendor. Early '69 Z's were low option, generally, and its kind of cool like that. I personally don't get the point of a road racer, with hideaway headlights, woodgrain trim, a rosewood wheel, power windows, power steering, deluxe interior....etc. Seems like every Z for sale has every option GM threw at the car, and I'm sure 99% of the options are added after the fact.
I feel that $40k is a very good price for the car. Sure, its missing some original stuff, and the paint has been redone, but the 3 priceless items are there. A VIN stamped car, a VIN stamped DZ, and a VIN stamped M21. Price accordingly.

If you read my post, I agree with the pricing on the car, and pointed out why it was priced accordingly (and not a 75K car). Don't take my orig post the wrong way. I don't however agree that this car is a survivor by any definition. Great car to get into and drive. And as you state; how many with orig drivetrains....
Good luck with your sale.
