'82 Z28 about to make a purchase
I have been looking around for a z28 with a manual transmission for a while now, and Im pretty sure I've found the one.
It is an '82 Z28 305, carburetor, 4 spd manual, t-tops, white.
66,000 original miles
I drove the car for a little bit, it seems very solid, tested the posi rear end with a nice burn out, everything worked find there. The only red flag was a pretty good size exhaust leak that seemed to be coming from passenger side of the engine, basically just in front of the firewall, I couldn't tell if it was a valve cover leak, or something else.
The engine was very responsive, and the tranny shifted very well, the clutch was done in 1995, and very few miles have been put on it since.
I will be putting the car on a lift before I make my decision, but I wanted to check with this forum first to see what the major problems are with these cars, and what I should take a second look at.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks,
J.D.
