Reading through the post I have some questions of my own, I have a barn find, yes I have pictures of the barn i found it in, it appears to be a 68 Z, as everyone knows the 68 was the only year that the cowl tag does not clearly state that it could be a Z, anyway previous post states that ALL Z's had front and rear bumper guards, well mine does not, i have yet to start resto on this car because i do not know the best way to restore it and not lose the value of it being a true Z. it has all the add on's that a Z should have, 12 bolt rear, tag in trunk warning of a posi,tic-tac clock, 4 speed, etc... any help, input on direction would help

Burner,,,,,check to see if you've got an 8,000 rpm tach,,which was Z-28 only. Also, all dual exhaust cars had plates welded behind the rear wheels on the subframe for exhaust hangers,,something else to look for. Nice barn find,,,more pictures please!

Yes Floyd, the market is down on muscle cars. Also the car that you seen on Barret Jackson may have had issues that you will not see on TV and will not hear about. Have you ever been to one of the major auctions ? I would recommend it to anyone looking to buy an INVESTMENT. Keep in mind the B-J aucton is a NO RESERVE auction which means once the car reaches the stage whatever it sells for that is it. B-J gets ( dont quote on this ) 17 % on the front and 17% on back so buyer and seller both pay. Many times the creme of the crop never make the line for the stage as the deal is done out in the lot. The Russo & Steele and Mecum auctions are RESERVE auctions in which if the car does not make the reserve you can take it back home. I believe it makes the auctioneer work harder for you to get your number. I know a person who did well with his purchase at a Russo&Steele auction and I know 2 people got screwed at a B-J auction aqnd one of them are involved in a lawsuit with B-J. Bottom line KNOW WHAT YOU LOOKING AT AND CHECK AS MANY NUMBERS CAN OR HIRE A PRO TO CHECK A CAR YOUR INTERESTED IN. BUYER BEWARE !!

Wide range of bids on Musclecars.
I think Barrett-Jackson gets a sellers fee up-front, plus 8% of the sale. The buyer must pay a $400 registration fee, plus 10% of the sale. There is a 17% buyers fee, for something called the automobilia premium/absentee buyer. So I'm guessing, if your not present at the auction, you get hammered. On a $50,000 sale. B-J gets $4000 from the seller, and a minimum of $5000 from the buyer, unless it was the 'Special Hammer, which at 17% would be $8500. The Road Race cars are starting to make a move up the scale. |

Jeff,
On the small-journal versus large-journal. The 67' blocks were 2-bolt mains, and utilized connecting rods with 5/16" bolts. Also pistons with pressed-in pins. The theory is the 4-bolt mains and larger-journal cranks are stronger. This one can be debated until eternity. pc |

In reference to the SS hood fin patterns, my recollection was that the long fins were on the mouse motor cars while the "square cube pattern' indicated a Rat was under the hood. (SS350 or SS396 ,67,68,69)
