1969 z/28 pro touring project

[traut811]

Car is SOLD and it/any parts are no longer available.
Thanks everyone.


Factory 1969 Camaro z28 x33 car. Factory firewall. Everything I've done up to this point, I made sure the car could be returned if ever desired. Off the top of my head I came up with right around $70,000 worth of parts alone (not including the car), and I'm sure I missed a lot. Most still new in box. This car has never been on the road.


This absolutely breaks my heart. I've been working on this for going on 5 years, and unfortunately will not ever have the time to finish it. I have some major projects around the house that need attention, so need to step back from this. Clear Missouri title in my name.


Quick parts list:

Schwartz G-machine chassis, triangulated 4 link, mustang ii rack. Body fitted and mounted

Ridetech coil overs

Forgeline SP3S 18x9/18x12 with rivals 275 or 285 front, 335 rear

Wilwood 6p fr/4p rr with 13" rotors

Moser floater 9in with truetrac 3.50

Inland aluminum driveshaft, forged 1350 slip yoke

Texas Speed built 7.0l LS7 still in the crate. Built entirely by them starting with a new block. Forged internals, 12:1cr, wcch stage ii heads, ats road race pan, wet sump

Wegner diamond cut front drive

Fast lsxr102 intake, Nick Williams 102tb

Griffin radiator with welded AN fittings

PSI engine harness, e38 ecm, dbw pedal

T56 magnum close ratio, QuickTime scatter shield, Hurst blackjack shifter

Anvil carbon fiber hood, cowl panel, vent panel, rear package tray piece, deck lid, spoiler

Ridetech tigercage with roadrace bars and harness bar

Recaro seats, sliders, Planted mounts

Ididit column, shaft and joints

DSE dash insert and BW gauges pulled from Mark Steilows "Jackass"

Body is rust free and mini tubbed, front lower aprons smoothed

Fesler latch, door handles, taillights, vents etc

EMS billet corner markers

Ring Bros handles and hood hinges

Clayton machine pedals

5th Gen Camaro console

Endura front bumper, smoothed rear bumper with shaved bolts

Pro touring front spoiler and tow point mounted to chassis that peeks through

Tanks tank clipped for tubs with 400lph pump

7 or 8 hides of smooth grain dark red Italian leather (Spinneybeck)

I may work a deal on keeping the engine and maybe trans, but I AM NOT interested in selling any parts at all off it.


Message me and I can get you my phone number if needed, and pictures of anything specific. Terrible pictures, these are all the pictures I had on my phone right now though.

Just thumbing through some old post and saw yours. Did you over finish building your car?

I didn't .. I got the tifercage in a little over a year ago and it's been shoved sideways against the back wall in a 2 car garage ever since. Our little guy is 13mo old and I really have no clue when I'll ever get back to the car.

Would you sell the forgelines?

I probably would consider it... I know what I paid for the setup but don't know what a fair price would be? Tires and wheels have 0 miles on them.

Forgeline sp3p 18x12 rear 18x9 or 9.5 front. Polished outer and satin titanium center and inner barrel. Tires are BFG rivals 335/30 rear 285/35 I think front.

Let me know if you are think about selling again. I have three kids so I know how it is. Thanks for the reply.

Any of the original Z/28 parts left over and for sale??

I'll keep you in mind. Not going to say I wouldn't sell it, as it kills me to just see it sit.

Sorry, no. I don't want to split anything off that needs to stay with it.

[camaro dave's]

I would be interested if it goes up for sale again

[uwilluz]

Would also be interested...

It says it's an X11 car which is NOT a Z/28. So its either not an X11 or not a Z/28, not that any of that matters in the modified state that's its in for a pro touring car.

Just came across this as I'm considering selling the Forgelines.
Sorry, my mistake. I had another x11 at the time and had my brain twisted. It's an X33D80 Rallye green (79 79) with black buckets (711). I don't know if it was an RS car or not. All RSs had Z21 trim code but not all Z21s were RS.

How much the whole thing? and in case I can’t bite off the whole thing how much for the forgelines?

[2keaton11]

The wife talked you into keeping it?? What would you take in trade for the wife? :razz:

Haha she's a keeper. Everything is replaceable except my wife, son and dog I suppose.

Realistically I don't know what's going to happen with it. I got a '67 c10 I've been dumping money into a couple years ago and with it at least being a driver between build stages, I know it'll get finished first.

I hate to see the Camaro just sit with that much tied up in it, even though pretty small scale majority of cars on here, but we'll see

[traut811]

Well here I am 5 years later, with a 2 and 5 year old and the car hasn't been touched other than working on putting a 5th gen console and a sheet metal double din mount that blends really well from the console to the dash.

I'm sure I've purchased more parts but need to go through what all I have. Lots of billet stuff- ring bros, fesler, clayton etc. Forgelines no longer avaliable. I will keep the LS7 and use it in my c10 if it is not wanted. This may need to go to the feeler section, but unsure where to be at on price.

Had at least 3 or 4 guys after me pretty hard for the tiger cage as well as some other random bits off of it. If I could sell whole that might make it easier though.

Brake lines ran, driveline complete with driveshaft made to length, steering is hooked up. It's had an engine and trans in to get driveline angles and header clearances checked but nothing passed that.

It sounds like you don't really want to sell this car so, a suggestion - dedicate one day every 2 weeks to working on just this car. You can see forward movement on it this way, and not feel bad about leaving it the rest of the time for your other projects. If one every 2 is too much, make it one every 3 or 4. Sometimes this is the only way I can get a job done.

I sincerely appreciate your advice. I'm in a weird situation with nowhere to go with it right now so paying storage. I don't know when I'd have room to get it back here. Honestly miss my z06 because you can get in it and have fun, so just see this as a 5th/6th gen camaro or c6/c7 potential for the time.

your box is full any idea of price?
