I am looking at purchasing a 87 Z28. I am going to look at one this weekend. The guy told me on the phone its a carberated 305 with an auto which I am not crazy about. But it got t-tops pw and some nice goodies on it. It needs a fender and paint job. He says it runs and drives nice. He told me on the phone 700.00 takes it. Can anybody tell me anything I should look for, or what to watch out for on these cars. I would appreciated any help. Thank you......

 

rust, accident history, service records, etc.

 

yeah, do yourself a favor and run a carfax report on the car...look on the board here as someone usually can do one for you as a courtesy. 700 sounds kind of low so I'll guess it has high miles on it. The t-tops will probably leak so expect that...

 

I have an 87 z , with an lg4 , same car that your buying , make sure you check the tranmission out throughly , the 700r4 is rated for 120 k miles , also , my ttops dont leak but i got lucky , just stupid little stuff you will notice over time , it most likely have 2.73s in it , i think there was an optional package available for 3.23s but im not sure , if your looking for a fast car , dont get this one .
