TDWZ28-Tony Wonch's 68 Z/28
I bought this car from the third owner. No factory paperwork on it. I had quite a few Musclecars as a kid, but always bought something that needed work. I would buy something, fix it up and sell it. Could never afford to buy new stuff. I got out of the cars for 20 or so years, focusing on Harley Davidson's. A few years ago I decided I wanted a couple of cars. I have spent my life fixing other peoples junk, so I wanted as nice a car as I could afford So the search began. I bought the books by MacNeish and a few others. Started looking at web sites like this one and the CRG. Learned a lot from the sites. Got me a real quick lesson on some used car salesmen. Discovered not too many of them are honest. I ended up calling MacNeish and telling him what I was looking for. I emailed him at least a dozen cars for sale. He was good about helping me out. The guy that bought the 67 Z28 from MacNeish had this one for sale. It had been Judged at the camaro Nationals, and was awarded the Junior Level Legend Class for restored cars.
Before I bought it, I contacted the original owner, who still lives in California. He sold the car to a good friend of his in Batavia Illinois. The second owner did the restoration on it. The third owner did some detailing for the judging. The rear valance was changed years ago. Not a good job, but the rest of the metal is all original. Was painted in 77. The only things I have changed are the shifter, the jets, and installed a tach and some gauges. I used all the factory mounting holes for the gauge panel and made up separate a wiring harness for everything. Basically a plug in setup. It handles pretty crummy with the stock tires on it. I have been searching for a set of wheels to mount some radials on, but no luck yet. Runs good. I like it.
