New to the forum and 3rd Gens, Saw this 1982 Z28 Indy Pace Car a few weeks ago and couldn't say no. Needs a few little things, but runs and drives great. I have decals that will go on as well.

Nothing of interest from the previous owner, Its a Factory replica, gave me a set of decals, Chilton's manual, Car Cover that fits Perfect. The title says he only owned it for a year. Seats are nice, the rest needs some work, New Carpet is in the living room, goes in next weekend. Got the A/C controls working the other day, I only had Defrost, Thanks to the Forum I found the firewall canister vacuum line disconnected. Heater core was leaking, Its been changed. Starter makes some noise, tomorrow's task. Than to the exhaust shop to fix a small leak and than my local garage to get the A/C working. Last thing (for now) is to figure out is why the AMP, oil pressure, Fuel and water temp gauges don't work. Looks like the dash cluster was changed at some time, From what I have seen it should have the speedo with dual needles for MPH and KMPH. it just has MPH
