Since you're new to TGO, let me point out that there is a Readers Rides section where you can search through everyone's cars by a ton of different criteria-- including years. You should find a bunch of nice 82-84's there.

And if you want to see a mint stock '83 interior, than check out my Car Domain page.

here is my 84 z28. Its in pretty good shape for an 84 with original van nyes paint. The only thing thats not original is the hood (last owner thought the 90 iroc ones looked better) 126,000 miles and going strong



p.s. I have replaced those ugly oversized tires on the front

Here's my 83 T/A.

Funny thing about still owning this car
is that at the time I bought it, in 1988,
that I wanted a little newer model with the
aero package.
Now it has become to stand out more, without it,
as most surviving 3rd Gens are 85-newer.

I restored mine in 2001, no rust, new paint, still
no dings or dents.

The interior is still all original, but in need of a new
headliner and front seat covers.

You can read about the mechanicals in my sig
