Equipment
NOS cross-ram intake added, 4.1 rear axle, Endura nose, Wide Tread GT tires, Rally wheels with trim rings, pushbutton radio, heater, console gauges.
Condition
Very good paint, chrome, stainless and interior. Underbody is like new. Exceptionally well documented with original window sticker, pre-delivery check, shipper, Protect-o-Plate, key envelope and knock-outs, owner's manual and more. It also (at great expense) was rebodied with GM sheet metal; it must have been a very rusty place to start. Ron Pratte collection.
Market commentary
This Z/28 represents an interesting quandary: does its restoration with new body panels add to (by virtue of their quality) or detract from (not as-built) its value? It brought $137,500 at B-J's Las Vegas auction in 2008 and, it must be said, is better than new without being overdone. Would a similar car boasting 'all original body panels' be worth more? Probably not at least at the present time, but it might if GM suddenly tooled up for a run of new '69 Z/28 panels and wholesale replacement became a widespread restoration practice.
