I have a 1982 Z28 Camaro and I am looking to make stock as possible looking. If you have a all stock 1982 Z28 I would love to see pictures of the car. I mean the whole car interior, exterior, engine bay. I wouldn't mind if the air conditioning and emissions controls are removed though since that is what I am doing with mine.

Check out this website.
The guy does a phenomenal job restoring a 1982 Pace car edition.
Tons of pics to use for reference.

Thanks that is a great collection of pictures. Unfortunately mine isn't a pace car edition.

It doesn't have to be a pace car edition to get ideas for restoring your car. Colors may be different but the cars are the same, dependent on what engine and transmission you have.

No one else has pics of a stock 1982 Z28?

Dang man, That PACE car is awesome. That kid and his dad did some awesome work. I wish more of the early third gen Camaros would get restored. You always see more later 85-up cars.

I agree I personally prefer the 82-84 to the 85-92s.

Would a stock '83 do? Not much changed from 82-83. I still have to put the stock radio back in it. And I have replaced the console lid since these pics were taken.

You are welcome, she's my pride and joy. Do you need pics of any particular part of the car?

P.S Not original paint, but it is the correct color. The ground effects should be silver, but I wanted her all red.

No the pics showed everything I wanted to see thanks.

Have you made progress restoring your car?

mustangdmurder

iTrader: (3)

Well I have got just about all of the body parts and emblems I need except I need to get a corner of the spoiler and I will hopefully be painting her on the week of the 4th of July.

Thats good. Post some pics is you can. A stock early thirdgen in good shape is getting harder to find these days.

mustangdmurder

I will. Yeah I have noticed that too. I never see early third generation Camaros. I see plenty of later ones, but not early ones.

I have a few NOS parts for an 82 Z I sold years ago. Specifically, these wheel cap inserts. These are NOT repops. GM part # 14035332. PM me if interested.

NCGuy68

Or, how about the wheels center caps to go along with the inserts. Again, these are NOT repops - they are NOS in the original GM boxes. GM part # 110154284. This is a set for four. The instrution sheet in every box is dated Feb. 1989. PM me if interested.

NCGuy68

I have other NOS parts for an 82 Z you may be interested in. I don't want to post them here because Scott will yell at me for posting in the wrong fourm. PM me if inteested.

scottmoyer

Dang it NCGuy! I see you're at it again!! No selling on the History forum.

BTW mustangdmurder, I have an NOS rear spoiler, complete, if you need it. PM me if interested.

It was cool to see the old pix of the 82's when new. I have to say I love the the cluster set up in the 82. The duel speedo is just killer. Hope all goes well with the restore for the OP.

I'd like to see this one completed. While I like the mods on some of the 3rd gens, I prefer the look of a bone stock classic.

mustangdmurder

iTrader: (3)

I will post some pictures after body and paint. The paint colors I picked are the closest I could find to my stock paint.

NCGuy68

I agree 100%. AND, bone stock will fetch the most $$ in the future if a owner decides to sell. Been that way for years in the Vette and 1stgen Camaro worlds. Ask me how I know.

Yes, mods are fun on a car that has lost it's factory motor, tranny, etc. and I've 'wrenched ' on many of them.

However, If 3rdgen F-Bodies are ever to gain respect in the Automobile World, owners need to stop 'hacking-up' desirable examples and present them just the way GM did.

I agree I doing the opposite with my Z28. It was already all hacked up and I am gonna put a lot of it back to stock.
