Newby here. The good news is I decided to pull the trigger on a ZL1! AGM A6, recaros, sunroof, nav. The bad news is i had to sell my 67 to do it, i still cant believe it.

Congratulation! I love AGM with black rims.

Why did you decide to sell the 67 in favor of a new ZL1. I did a similar thing and for me it came down to old cars, even when perfectly restored, aren't enjoyable to drive compared to the new muscle. The ZL1 is faster, comfortable and no rattles and creaks.

Congrats!! Looks great & Enjoy.

I'd have had a tough choice with that one too!!!! Glad I didn't have to make it!!!

I wanted the Ashen Gray, but couldn't find one with the options I wanted. And when I did find one, the dealership wouldn't do a deal with my local dealer. I went with Black.

OP, I sold my '69 Pace Car last year to buy my ZL1.

DON'T LOOK BACK. YOU WILL LOVE THIS CAR I PROMISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations, and dont feel bad at times things must be done to progress.

In other cases people can just keep both lol.

But it happens drive safe and enjoy !

congrats..as nice as the ZL1 is, the '67 is nicer, imo, and a keeper.
