Those are the before pics, i will have some after pics soon, the outside looked ok but it was far from it, if you look you can see all the body lines were off, like the decklid and such, and the motor comp. was trashed too.

.

> The first 25 Z-28’s were built between Dec. 29, 1966 and Jan. 12, 1967. These went strictly to favored dealers, mostly for reworking as all-out competition cars. Z-28 #1 was shipped to Aero Chevrolet in Alexandria, Va., where it was groomed as Johnny Moore’s entry in the Daytona 24-hour Continental. Cars #2, #3, and #4 went to Yenko Chevrolet, Canonsburg, Pa., for driver Ben Poster, also for Daytona.
> 
> Seattle dealer Alan Green received Z-28’s #5 through #7, reselling one to a Daytona, Fla., dealer, one to a local Northwest dealer, and the third to a local customer. That means that Z-28 #7 was probably the first to fall into private hands. Many people believe that the 1967 Z-28 didn’t debut until late in the model year, but that simply isn’t true. A few were in private hands by Feb. 1, 1967.
> 
> Ron Tonkin, a Chevrolet dealer in Portland, Ore., ordered Z-28 #8 and placed it on his Beaver Racing Team, which ran mostly West Coast events. After careful preparation, it was involved in an accident while being trailered to its first race. That ended its competition career.
> 
> Nickey Chevrolet in Chicago, which went into racing in a big way (e.g. putting 427’s into Camaros for the dragstrip), took delivery of Z-28’s #9-#10-#11. Two of these ran at Daytona along with the Aero and Yenko cars.
> 
> Roger Penske acquired the 12th Z-28, his friend George Wintersteen picking it up at the factory on Jan. 10, 1967 and driving it back to Penske’s Chevrolet agen cy in Reading, Pa. Penske immediately tore down the car and sent the engine to Traco in his push toward entering Daytona.
> 
> The next eight Z’s went to a variety of customers, in cluding three shipped to other GM divisions and one sold to a GM Proving Grounds engineer named David D. Horchler. Car #21 was delivered to stunt driver Joie Chitwood in Tampa, Fla. Chitwood raced the car and has subsequently used Camaros in all his thrill shows ever since.
> 
> In Chevrolet’s rush to get the first Z28’s out to the races, the first 16 1967 Z28’s used a 4-P body to get the cars to the Daytona race on time. The 4-L body style code was used after the first ordered Z28’s were shipped out.
