A little bit of Z/28 racing history...

[232_ray]

I have this old thing that that I road race from time to time. It’s a real 1969 Z/28. Has a completely built 302 spec motor with lots of performance upgrades also completely upgraded suspension and brakes. Suspension is all up traded with tubular arms, shocks springs and so on but only have used true bolt on parts. NO cutting grinding or welding has been done to the car so that when I sell it the next owner can restore it if they want. Brakes have also been upgraded to C6 Z06 corvette brakes with hydro boost which I don’t like ( too touchy ). Fun car I’ll say that. Gets lots of thumbs up even in its current ugly state. I do ALL the work myself.

That's awesome! Don't ever let anyone restore that, it's perfect as it is with all the 'patina' and history.
