ever owned a 70's z28?

[250r_doverdemon]

i got the chance to pick up this decent condition 79 z28 t top its got a 350 out of a vette and no transmission (4 spd muncie hes keeping) and turbine rally rims.. runs and all and i can get it for $2500 i checked the rear frame rails as much as i could and seem fine but id really like to get under it and see better.. any advice on these or should i just keep savin and buy me a nice 90"s cummins?

haha seems every chevy with a small block has a vette engine. as far as your question the 75-81 are not that desireable and not really worth putting money into unless it;s for yourself. even at 2500 you could have 8-9k into it before you know it and only be able to get 5k out of it if you were to sell it

yeah thats pretty well what i was thinking.. if it were a 70 z28 it would be in my garage lol or a nice 69 camaro

they are fun cars had a 78 back in the day . vette moter , heard that before mid 70's vettes didnt make even 200 hrspower so not a selling point even if real still fun car ,talk him down to 1500 then put a 5 speed out of a 90's camaro or firebird . if he wont go down buy a 2500 cummins truck good luck

Tell him to keep the motor and tranny, and cut the price down. Put the motor and tranny out of an auto early 2000ish silverado (327?). Enjoy reliability, kick ass mpg, and surprisingly awesome quarter mile times.

Autos aren't as fun, but the way they roll on the power in high hp apps so easily can be a little addicting.

Right after i cut off the mullet i had to sale it. No longer worthy....

It is funny the way life works.
Nice hair, Nice car and a hot GF
Then shortly after you get married
Bald, Economical car, Fat wife....... WTF?

Only in my dreams. I think the late 70s z28's are one of the sexiest cars ever made. I MUCH prefer the looks to an older split bumper. There's one around me for sale, 455, blacked out body, lights, and windows, but still has the chrome trim around the windows are shiny wheels. I'd kill.

Further proof that marriage can and will ruin your life.

A mullet is never nice hair...

A mullet is the kid you wish was aborted of the hairstyle world.

I have owned two, a 79 and 81. The 79 had a mild 454, would throw itself sideways at 30 mph. The 81 was a real turd. I like the styling but both cars started to rot in the rear floor pan and rear frame rails. Northeast Ohio is not kind to automobiles. If I found one for the right price I would buy it.
