can you afford it? If anything you can use it for a parts car, or now you can have one as a daily driver and one as a weekend warrior...

These cares are unitized construction, there's no body to take off, so how could it have an 89 body?

Maybe. His rearend gear ratio probably had something to do with it. My former '85 Z28 305TPI made more HP and torque than my current '84 Z28 L69, but with 3.73s in my current ride it comes off the line alot quicker than the '85 (3.23s) used to.
