New to the forum and glad to be here, so this is my story.
Traded my 1985 Grand National for a 69 Z in the late 80s, drove it for a couple a years and then gave it to my dad when I went to Europe working for the military. I finally have enough garage space and brought it home a few weeks ago. Somewhere down the line the motor and trans were absconded with and replaced with a small block {power pack heads} and a turbo 400. I am fairly certain that it is a real Z and will list everything I can think of, if you have anything else to look for I would appreciate the help.
