91 Z28 worth it?

http://racine.craigslist.org/cto/4559160302.html

I did a '84 Z28 project car three years ago and it was a pain. Was a lot rustier, needed all new metal and paint.

Looking to getting something to do for a project but not as involved. I've talked this guy down to $2,200 but I'm gun shy since I don't keep cars long. I love these cars but don't want to dump a ton of money into them. I've seen this car and it's pretty clean but needs some work. I want to get it because I'm familiar but at the same time am afraid of getting in too deep.

I guess I'm wondering if I should accept these cars will always need work or should I wait for something nicer. I love working on cars but I'm also a cheapskate lol

If I had the chance to pick up a basically rust free 91 Z28 hard top for $2200, no question, I'd buy it.

I think you're right to be gun shy. Usually an old car investment takes some years to recoup if you put any decent money in it. If you have Car ADD, haha, then get one you can just drive without putting money in it. Get one where someone else has spent the money.

Well the ad lied a bit. It has some rust on the hatchback under the spoiler mounts. Also the left rear wheel well has a bit too.

Re: 91 Z28 worth it?

It sure LOOKS like it would command $2200 to me being an ?original TPI car?. Drivers seat bolster looks good and is a key place to look on these cars to determine use....of course if they have not bee swapped out.
