69 Z-28 Looking for History
I'm looking for some early history on my 69 Z-28 that was originally sold out of Martin Chevrolet in Warren Ohio.
It is an X-77 D80 car and was originally Code 71 Blue with white stripes and standard Black 711 interior and currently shows about 300 miles (yes 300) on the odometer. The ownership history is not yet 100 percent complete, but the story is the car was raced from day one, hence the ultra low miles.
Car is 99% rust free and it was not cut up but does have slight rolled rear fender lips and a very slight widening of the inner wheel wells. It has a 6 point roll bar and is now painted black. The entire bottom floor of the car was painted white and the front discs converted to drums for low rolling resistance, both common drag racer mods. There are a couple of old track decals on the windshield and the last one I think is from 1977 and says Div. 3 ET Finals Beech Bend Raceway.
To my knowledge it stayed its whole life in the general vicinity of that portion of Ohio and I purchased it out of Ohio 20+ years ago. Given its life in Ohio, it is still 99% rust free, and that also seems to back-up the story of it being a day-one race car that was garaged with the low miles.
Anyone remember this car?
