'84 Z-28, project car, cheep!
First off, this would be a great car for someone with welding/metal forming experience, as there is rust holes in the fender wells and floor pan. If you are not scared off by this, continue reading, lol.
It's an '84 Z-28 that started life as a 305 HO/ 5-speed car. I have a 350/700r4 that will be included with the sale, as the car is a rolling shell. On the outside, the body is not bad at all. Lot's of pealing clearcoat, a few minor rust spots and small dents. It has a fiberglass hood in very good shape that was recently painted a similar shade of silver. I have started cutting out the floorpan rust and making patch panels. I just don't have time to finish it.
I will include nearly everything to make the car complete again. In addition to the motor/trans, I have a nice gray interior, all engine brackets, new rear shocks, a driveshaft, plus more I'm forgetting. About the only things I don't have is a radiator, carb, or passenger area carpet. It won't take much money to get this car back on the road, but it will take labor. I would like to get $500 for all of it. The iroc wheels are not included for that price, but I do have a similar set that can be included for an additional fee.

Almost forgot, I'm open for trades. I'm always interested in parts for third gens and '73-'87 Chevy truck.

The 350 is an older GM crate motor, 290 horse I believe. It ran well, but should have the rod bearings replaced. The original 5 speed is long gone, I never had it.

Re: '84 Z-28, project car, cheep!
I need to keep those ones, they are the originals for one of my other cars. In the first post I mentioned another set that could be sold with the car for additional $. I'd like to see what happens with the car before selling the wheels.

what kind of 73-87 parts are you needing? I have tons and tons of 73-87 stuff. I have enough rust free sheet metal to build 10 trucks from the frame up. I like to trade so I don't have to tell the wife what I spend.lol

Re: '84 Z-28, project car, cheep!
A set of 70's fenders, a set of 80's fenders, a '77-'80 hood, a tilt/cruise column for a '79, a 70's Chevy tailgate band, and a metal roof skin for a '77 K5 all come to mind. I'm sure we could work something out even if you don't have any of that stuff, lol. Where are you located?
