After I took my meds this morning it all came back to me on how to change an image - this picture isn't that great but its an original taken only a few months after I purchased this car ........

Congrats Jack. I've owned my 68 Z/28 almost 43 years and it still tickles the **** out of me to shift at 7500RPM.

I heard about your old car, it fell of the ferry some years ago coming to the US when the current owner didn't set the park brake correctly, evidently you can find it at the bottom of the Strait !! LOL

I guess that explains why I couldn't find it! lol

Someone asked me this afternoon how many miles were on this car - my answer was it never dawned on me to look as it really didn't matter one way or the other as I was buying no matter how many were on it .

But my curiosity got the best of me and I had to check it out - to my surprise - only 43,000 - my best guess its correct because of the many years he spent in lock-up .

Billy - They do still look great today - one other thing - if you notice the wheelwells are filled - thats because it wore H 70 X 15 Goodyears - pretty big meats for that time .

Happy for you Jack. One year ago this past weekend I was given the opportunity to buy back my 66 Chevy II Super Sport. Of course I jumped at the opportunity and bought it from the same couple we sold it to 22 years ago. It is at the body shop now in the process of being restored. It will relive life on the street. And yes...the title was still in Dad's name.

Congrats again.
