DAmn, dude you got one hell of a deal she is gorgeous, like i said i dont have a big flavor for stock appearing thirdgens but that my friend needs to stay that way, make it fast. Can't wait to see the interior and motor if its as good as the body is i might have to make a stop out there to check it out

305 TPI, auto, posi rear end, and a damn near mint interior, trust me when i say the body is as straight as the day it was born...The guy i bought it from is some business man with like 7 different cars and he recently got a new Escalade so he needed to get rid of the Z, his loss, my gain

Absolutely beautiful. In my admittedly humble opinion, that's quite a step up from your previous car. I love it!

Lol, if i was going to do that i wouldnt have left any money
The "catch" is it has 180k on the clock, but as it sits thats basically just a number. This guy must have known how to really take care of cars because the body is straight as an arrow, the interior looks showroom and it runs excellent to boot. Since it requires 0 bodywork im gonna get some paint shot on it real soon then it will really look mint
