Wow........Wow..... wow.....

I usually am all for 85+ Z28's but that 84 is NNNNIIIICCCEEE...

A lot of us (myself included) look at 82-84 models and think "old; therefore must be a pile", but tat think is an EXCELLENT example of what they should look like...

The only odd thing is:



What the heck is all over the inner fenders and all of the other sheet metal in the engine bay?

i think they sprayed it down to keep it from rusting or something...LOL...

Looks like a winner

Id guess the stuff in the engine comp. is some kind dealer or aftermarket added "rust inhibitor".

On a car with less than 5k miles, I doubt it'd need much "rust protection"... Especially being a garage queen as it appears to be.

I believe that would be a type of cosmoline you see on the fenders.....It's used to prevent surface rust from forming.

SWEET! Now I know what my '84 used to look like! I have the same paint RPOs (15L 15U). My engine bay is still the factory silver, but I always wondered what the gfx looked like. That settles it. I'm returning it to its original colors!

Well, here's what mine looks like right now. I drive it every summer but it does take some elbo grease to keep it clean. Actual milage is 56700.
