I was on a parts run in PDX today for my Z. I had some time to kill before meeting my sis for lunch. Cruised by the Chev connection as they usually have some cool Chevys for sale.

It was a dang nice car. Love the paint/interior combo.

Also had a JL8 Z28. Looked like a museum piece. :cool:

I should have brought my camera. :clonk: :D

I also checked this one out. It had some flaws but overall was very clean:

Saw one myself last weekend...at the NC show. First saw this same car in June at Nashville during CB'08.
A fantastic, unrestored Z16 that had sold new in Buffalo, NY. :thumbsup:

I rode in a new one back in 1965 at USMCRD San Diego. The Corporal that owned it traded it in for an L-79 ChevyII.

Saw a red one at BJ Scottsdale a few years ago........... odd, most people just walked on by. Had no idea.

That appears to be the second one they have had. There is another Crocus Yellow one that they seem to have sold.

I saw 2 Z16s last year in Chatanooga at a private car collection. Pretty cool to see 2 in the same building owned by the same person.

Hopefully next season I'll be able to bring my Z to a Couple of the shows, I was going to take it around this past year but I had commited to having the car in a museum this past 6 months. Attached is a pic from Vettefest were it took a gold spinner award.
