The 69 Z/28 was my first car at 15 yrs old Hugger Orange X33 car high winding 327 (non-orig of course) and an M22 4.11 rear and thats the first car I drag raced. My grandfather was an old 4spd Stock Elim racer and said automatics are for p###y's you wanna drag race this is how your going to learn. I have owned many original and non matching 67-69 Z/28's RS/SS big blocks etc over the years but my favorite was the one I had rotisserie restored a few years back. Found it locally and it was a 69 Z/28 RS 39K orig miles original sheetmetal Protect-O-Plate orig paperwork etc. I restored it for myself and it also was a flat hood car originally and thats the only thing I didn't do correctly.... I just like the look of the cowl hood but I also had the flat one done so it could be right for the purist but what a car when it was done. I actually had it at the E-Town national that year but when the economy started getting worse I got a great offer on the car I couldn't refuse at the time......probably gonna be a big mistake I know but hopefully I can have a happy ending story like Jack's and buy it back one day. I have owned some rare mucle cars but the 69 Z is my favorite. Jack I also have a 69 DZ 302 motor complete dyno time only even had an original complete cross-ram on it (sold that a few yrs ago) but motor is complete from intake to pan even has the off-road cam and I believe I have the dyno sheets also. Might sell it if interested PM me. It will never be NUMBERS MATCHING but having a real date code motor helps the value greatly. I think mine is an early June motor. And by the way great find thats a really cool deal and an RS at that...the only thing better is if it was a Code 10 Black car....then ya really got a real home run !
