That would be impossible considering the actual car didn't exist for sale until the fall of 1981.

Yep, they do. A diecast company called Sunstar America produces an '82 z28. They come in such colors as red, and nighthawk blue. They also have different versions like the Indy 500 pace car, CHP z28, and the Arizona Highway patrol car. This is the best place I googl'd up http://www.collectorsnetusa.com/Merc...egory_Code=118
It'll take you to a page with alot of listings. Look for the Sun Star listing about 3/4 of the way down the page. I've seen them in person, and there fairly accurate. Try Kay bee toy's or your local hobby store. Enjoy!

I have that one!



Simple function, but it is wicked cool to have! Got mine at a flea market for $10 a year back.

I have endless 3rd gen Camaro/Firebird cars. RC, 1/18 toys (not the display ones!), beach toys, etc. I have some pics of my room and it's contents here:

Yah, the chair is a product of a 2nd gen seat (least that's what it was in!) and an old office chair. I took a piece of 3/4" plywood and drilled the 4 holes in it for the seat bolts, then used the 4 holes in the ofice chair stand to bolt it all together! Kinda tippy, but it is SO much more comfortable than any office chair! Now to find a 4th gen black leather seat with lumbar support!

Don't remember where I got this, kept it for years, just liked it.
