Very nice Z, always liked that color.
Thank you for the input. I expected the ride would change. I bought a 69 Z in 81 and quickly lost interest in my 74 Z, unable to keep both I sold the 74. I drove the 69 Z through 2 Michigan winters, with a 302 and bias ply tires, 40 miles round trip to work daily. The second winter I had changed to radials and much better traction and ride, still not good in snow, (actually dangerous in the snow is a better way of putting it), but no choice at that time. Sold the 69 and bought a CA 70 SS396 Chevelle and a 71 Lemans for winter driving.
Current 68 with the polyglas the is rarely driven. I may go with vintage Torque Thrust wheels and new BFG TAs again, if I get tired of the tires. The BFG TAs on the car when I bought it 5 years ago were purchased in 95 in CA for the car, yet had only 7K miles on them. Rode really nice despite the age, but also unsafe at that age and wrong profile, so enter the polyglas. If I decide to change I could hold onto the polys for show, but despite owning many of these cars over past 40 years I have never shown a single one. I blame my AMD (Aviation Maintenance Disorder). Spending almost 4 decades looking for what is wrong with everything tends to carry over into things outside of work. Bottom line is many of the best inspectors & crew chiefs I know are most critical of their own work and forever chasing perfection, which is not obtainable. But it is exhausting. Now 6 years removed from jet aircraft I am finally starting to accept good enough is good enough sometimes. So maybe taking car to a show is in the cards, someday, still not satisfied with the car yet. A few cruises, but mostly just drives through country side. But will cross that bridge if and when its time for a change.
Not doing that again!
