That repop interior could use a little help. Those recovered headrests appear to be straight bar type used on earlier cars of which this is not. The way the fit the seat looks bad.
I would want to see this in person if buying.

I noticed that too Jonesy, easy fix I guess. What’s worse IMO is the rear spoiler has issues , huge gap above 1/4 panels looking from the back. Repo spoiler or trunk lid? Front subframe is caved in too, those would both bother me.

I had one in here a couple years ago for some tuning. Very nicely done fathom green Z. They can be made to run very well if you get intimate with the carbs. Out of the box they kind of suck. They need idle feed circuit mods and a couple other things.

Yes Friday will be a day to watch with 10 69 Z's on the block. This one has a lot going for it. RS, nice colors, cross ram, and pretty nice restoration. If it's everything it looks to be it should bring good money. I watched a cortez silver Z a couple years ago that was converted to RS status, nice restoration with a few issues, sell for $140k and I couldn't believe it. William and I talked about that car, he may remember. May have been the only RS Z that year at auction and wasn't born that way. Prices may be a little softer right now but still wouldn't surprise me to see this one push close to 6 figures.
I like it and wouldn't kick it out of the garage, but I'd rather have the blue with white gut 69 COPO that is also going off on Friday.

Yikes, 10 Z's on the block in one day? You'd think that they would spread them around throughout the auction instead of bunching them up on one day, or am I wrong?

Barrett-Jackson finally posted a picture of the JM certificate. They claim they do not have the report. Reached out to JM, no reply yet.
Doc.

Surprised they didn't address the heavy pitting on thee rear axle tube at the time of resto. Same goes for the crossmember cave-in as noted in an earlier post.

Glacier blue looks great on a Z, esp a RS!
