I keep going back and forth on this one.

I did a bunch of google image searches on Rallye Green 69 Z/28s and painted black it does look slightly better.

On the other side, from the factory it is supposed to be painted Argent Silver.

Not sure at this point.

most replacement grills were black ( mine was replaced and came black)
really its up to you what you like.
I prefer black as it hides alot of bug stains and makes the nose grill area seem deeper.

With Bill Gould’s (of Auto Ancestry) help, I have found out that I am the 9th owner of the car. I have talked to all the former owners except for 2. All were in the Air Force and most are Vietnam veterans. I have been documenting their history with the car so that I can keep it as a record with the car.

This is going to sound totally nuts but…..a production company working with the Oprah Winfrey Network called Bill Gould wanting to do a story about reuniting a car with it’s original owner. Bill gave them my name and a woman (Jennifer) from the production company called and asked me a lot of questions. She then called Alfred (the second owner) yesterday.

They want to have the show produced by December, but it’s never going to happen. The car is in a hundred pieces right now and it will not be going back together any time soon.

So, they want to reunite the car with a previous owner.
What do they mean by reunite?:
1) Simply let a previous owner see the car it it's current state.
2) Buy the car from you, 'restore' it, then give it back to a previous owner.
3) 'Restore' the car, show it to a previous owner, then let you keep it.

Man, if #3 were the case then I would go for it. You would need to insist that a correct restoration be done by a reputable shop. I would say No Thanks to a Foose style restification. It would be a shame to ruin that car.

It's a new show they wan't to make called "Found". I don't believe they want any part of the restoration. It's for the Oprah Network, but I don't think she has any actual part in it.

I believe they mean #1, but I would guess they would want to get video of Alfred with the car. Right now, it would be Alfred next to piles of parts
and a car body.

Oh ya! Definitely, no Chip Foose style for this car. I read somewhere that he was using prison labor to build his cars anyway.
