Amazing 17,000-mile original paint '71 Z/28

"Kloompy"???? Who were the marketing wizards that came up with that name? Never even heard of it before. I agree, if it sold on there for $13K last year, that was WAY too cheap. If that car was Ziebarted when new, someone did a lot of work to get it looking like it is now.

I didn't take the story to serious when I seen a gold colored seat belt bolt sticking out of the bottom of the car.

My 70 has 6 gold and two chrome bolts. I've had it since 78 and it has always had these belts in it. The shoulder bolts are also chrome.

My brother and I looked a this car a couple years ago before it went to Mecum. The car is legit but at that time the car was heavily ziebarted so I imagine someone spent a considerable amount of time under this car but I also believe that it is truly as nice as the pictures show it. After all its been protected since new.

Somebody did one hell of a time consuming job cleaning all the Ziebart off the underbody!!

Wow, can you even imagine the labor involved? I believe this car would be well bought around $50k- not sure the 71-73s are in the $60+ range yet, from what I have seen. Although, this is one of the best ‘71s I have personally seen.

I wonder why he chose to put 1970 tailpipes on it after investing in a NOS muffler?

I didn’t know 70 had different tailpipes! How are they different?

71,72 & 73 did not have the additional bend toward the outside of the car near the exit of the tailpipe.

My 79 z28 was heavily Ziebarted. I took 90% of it off by hooking up my pressure washer to hot water and blasted it right off. I was surprised. Then I took ditzo 440 and the residue came of very easy to shiny paint and original primer. Car has 36,000 miles and looks brand new under where it was Ziebarted. It was on the tops of my fenders and fender wells. Lower rear valance and floorboards. Black specks of rustproofing was flying everywhere!!
