Came out of one of my lunch spots downtown recently and saw this. Hmmm, cool. Ratty '69 Camaro being driven. Then a double take. Z-28 badges. Ok. Closer inspection... could it be a real one?
Owner comes out and sees me eyeballing his car, I start conversation to assure him I'm just admiring it. Yep, it's a real Z-28. He's had it for years and it was his brother's before that. He has the original 302 on the shelf, (worn out), and a built SBC in it now. All original parts on shelf, lots of upgraded stuff on the car.
The owner is a young Latino guy, (at least young compared to me)
, I ask if he worries about it getting stolen and he tells me that he lives down in the 'hood where no one has a clue what it is. Everyone just thinks it's an old POS car. Lol...
