Rare '85 Z28?

I saw a Z28 a friend of mine had one time that was a 305 4bbl car with a 5-speed, no air, crank windows, manual door locks and an AM radio. The car was brown with gold gfx and a tan interior. Was this a rare car, special order or just a fluke?

PROBABLY an LG4 Z28. Low end, not worth much IMO.

My guess is that a dealer (up north or Canadian) ordered the car
with no options for quick sale.

.... BUT it could also be an L69 car, which is also a 4bbl 305. Those WERE rare that year, and they were only available with a 5 speed and 3.73 rear end. They are really cool too, very desireable IMO.

You should post the VIN on here, then we can tell you what you have.

I suppose if it has the IROC B4Z RPO, it could be. But if its just a Z28 with no B4Z RPO, it'd have to be an LG4.

Exactly only Z28-IROC's got L69, 85 Z28's could get 3.73 gears if they are T-5 cars. Mine being proof, RPO GT4.
