Re: 1982 Z28 Indy 500

The hood paint is severely deteriorated, the drivers seat is bad, the window washer does not work and neither does the termperature gauge, but apart from that the car is pretty much original. Well forgot to say that the exhaust is not original and quite loud.

Overall very nice though.

If you're looking to replace the graphics, you can check out phoenix graphixs. I've had good luck with them and other forum members have as well.

Re: 1982 Z28 Indy 500

Thanks, I will check them out.
Think I need to decide on the hood first, I don't think the paint is salvageable.

Do you know if anyone makes seat upholstery kits?
I have already had a price from a local guy for around 1000 USD pr seat plus materials.

Hawks Motorsports out of South Carolina is a good place to deal with.

No, it was imported in 2012. This is due to Norwegian tax rules on 30 year old cars.....meaning no tax
