I was on my way to buying another 69 Z-28 Camaro when I came across this forum. It was all you folks here that changed my mind..... At first it was going to be a 61 Bubble top. (Still want one) & (a 62 bubble top). However, after a thorough study of the Z-11 and all the history shared on this forum , I purchased a 63 with the QB engine. I knew that the Elusive Z car would never be available or affordable..... But with the help and encouragement of the veterans of this site, I'm as close as I ever will get to the fabled 427.
It is true that the newer generations are not following in your foot steps per se.... It's not only the 348/409's.....It's also the Hemi, wedges,421's and the Hi-Po Fords. Restoration of these cars is getting, if not already, prohibitive. I can tell you all in no uncertain terms, that without luck and "payment" terms, I would not/could not, do what I'm doing now. So....I'm not one of the younger generation coming on board.... I'm on the other side of the bell curve, but I'm hooked on the "W". AND.... it's all of your fault.....In short, this forum, and the people on it, grabbed a guy off the Camaro train. .....So thank you again for keeping me, a self employed, past middle age man with 2 kids in college........broke
