I have over one hundred and fifty reciept that total approximately $28,000 for all and any work done and parts purchased to date. It was originally a small block car but anyone who knows a half ass Big Block conversion from a proper and complete Big Block conversion will know this has been done right. Starting from the back forward it has a factory original stock 1968 373 12 bolt posi rear end with new multi leaf springs, shocks, brakes, neoprene bushings, u joints and a vintage Baldwin Motion differential cover.

It currently has centerline rims with new BFG tires but I also have original Rally rims with custom ordered 10" rear rally's new BFG's on all. I will sell it with buyers choice of rims (one set). I have only listed the large major components. Many many smaller cosmetic items, clips rubbers, lenses,bulbs, bolts, etc. have been replaced (too many to list) This car has never been to the drag strip or street raced. I have the original owners manual and I have the black plates that came on this car from California. I have owned this car for 5 years and put less than 2500 miles on it. The body is straight and clean. The paint has a few chips. I am guessing the paint job to be 10+ years old. Chrome bumpers are in excellent shape, door handles have some pitting. All glass is original and great condition. Additional photos of any area of the car can be provided. Underneath is original, beautiful, and rust free. No issues. This is not an original 1968 Z28, It was wearing the badges when I got it. I have about 40 additional underneath/bottom photos that I can send to interested buyers.
