That’s pretty clean! I also bought something new today, pics soon.

Just got home. Unearthed a ‘70 Z that had been stored away in a Detroit garage for years. Pretty excited! More pics soon. This is the good side :-)

Wow, looks fantastic from this side. Really like the color...

Nice score, love to hear the story? Where are you putting it?

I just saw the right side of the bumper and tail panel. Looks like it's tagged on the right. Hopefully just the quarter and not the whole side.
Jeeeeez Tony, keep us in suspense for HOURS !! I keep looking for that new thread.

Here are a couple more pics with the back story.

I bought the car from the original owner's brother who bought it new from Merollis Chevrolet, just a few miles from the house where it had been stored since the 1990s. It's a neat car that seems to have one repaint in Shadow Gray, an all-original black interior, and its original M21 and 4.10 COO code 12-bolt rear. It does have a CE block that was installed in '71, and the smog system was removed and the tubes plugged, but otherwise it seems pretty original. It came with the POP but no other docs.

The body is really clean except for the passenger rear quarter, which was hit and poorly repaired, and hit again, along with a pretty sizeable crease in the passenger door. I'm going to hang a quarter on it and see if the skin can be straightened.

This is my first second-gen - I'm pretty stoked. I love how the OO ordered this car.

Find a clean southern door and an NOS quarter and you're in business. I'll shoot you a PM...
Seems maybe the original tires and engine only lasted 8,000 miles...

The garage it came out of looks pretty cool. I grew up not to far from Merollis I can hear their radio commercials in my head

Unfortunately I’m out of room so it’s living at a buddy’s shop until I get the 71 Impala back together and out of the way.
