Default 69 Z in Watsonville CA

What do you think of this one...
Is this a good modification to the engine...Stroked to 385?

Seems like it doesn’t have any original paperwork? Whether or not it’s a real Z will have a big impact on price. To that end, I would ask for photos of the Muncie and rear axle stamps. The pace-car style hugger orange stripes look sharp. Most of the mods are not for me but are bolt-on so can always revert. I can’t speak from experience on the stroker but I would guess all the new bottom-end torque will make the DZ more fun from a stoplight...

I agree with you there, but look, the steering wheel matches the wheels...

I stopped judging people on taste in cars and realized it’s just another person in the hobby. If those mods bring them joy, so be it, even if it ain’t for me. And for bolt-ons, you can always unbolt that stuff! First gen Zs are a great example where some folks want patina survivors, some want factory-fresh (and don’t even like dealer add-ons), some love day-2 and some go full custom. To each their own, it’s just somebody else who loves their Camaro that makes ‘em happy in an ugly world... :gets off soap box and grabs beer:

That car has a serious identity crisis. Without a build sheet or the original motor, no way to know what it started life as.

The M22 was only available with a Z/28 or L78 (or an L72 COPO). So if the vin partial is legit then this is almost certainly a real Z.
