Re: 1983 Z28 L69

Not a bad-looking car, except that there's no way it has a 4-peed. ALL 83 L69 cars got a 5-peed.

The VIN is correct for a 83 L69 car. It even has the exact same gray velour interior as mine.

Hopefully the 4-peed thing is a typo, and the car isn't somekindofa clone. Which looking at the build sheet, looks like it is.

Probably not an unreasonable price, especially up in New England (rust belt).

When you enlarge the picture of the console area at the hemmings site, it shows the 5 speed shift pattern.

I Noticed Several Options Ordered Are Not On The Build Sheet.

What a fun car. I can look at the photos and get the fever. Get behind the wheel. Push the gas a couple times. Push the clutch, check for neutral. Turn the key and the thing comes alive, rumbling and shaking a bit. This car is an event as much as transportation.
