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

Jack---this is nothing but cool---wish I could find my '68 Hemi Road Runner---still have dreams about it! Scot

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 .

Is it me or do those Cragar ss rims still look awesome on that car today?

Doug Blackley · 01-12-2011, 07:16 PM

Not just you Billy, those are the perfect wheels for that car.

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 .

Jack, I think that it is just too cool, to get the same car back after all that time ! Congrats and Enjoy !

Now, if that jerk that bought my GTO hadnt tried to drive into a granite boulder......

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.
