Looks great from the outside.

Engine is amazing.

Questionable choice of interior colors....

they should of left out the undercarriage shots.. lots of issues there.

Re: wow check out this 87 z28

Looks like it was buit to be a show car mostly. Not feeling the interior, atleast theirs frame connectors & rollcage for that beast. Looks like a stock trans also. Price is ridiculous, i dont think its comeplete unt their suspension mods for that price.

Re: wow check out this 87 z28

I like it... actually really wanna steal his brake calipers haha! I think that this car would be getting a lot of love if they would have just stuck with a grey or black for the suede interior. The blue is just too much for most people. Looks like a great car with potential to be awesome!

GM Dropped the 502 ram jet price down to $8900 turn Key.

now if they would install the ramjet on a 572 CID BBC!
i would buy one. bet it would be over $14.000

every thing snowballs. this last 2 years i have spent enof to buy that thing..lol

Re: wow check out this 87 z28

Not digging the blue interior. Clashes with the factory black dash.

Notice the shot of the rear axle girdle, is the sway bar whacking the lower left side of the girdle? Is that just some left over smudged grease or is it the sway bar hitting on the rear axle housing? I can't tell.

Expensive parts car. Grab the engine, brakes and tires and pitch the rest.

The undercarriage looks like they just spray painted over the rust.

imo its a waste of time the paint the bottom anyway.just address rust issues.other than that it seems like an excellent car that needs a few changes to be perfect.
