Sucks how the seat springs break and poke holes in the seat covers.

Maybe my favorite Third gen right there. Wish I had kept mine.
Clear coat peeling on the front bumper (??), decals lifting and a ripped seat. Otherwise, the car looks like it's in great condition. People always refer to the rare 4 speed with these, but most I see are the 4 speeds, but this car has the 4 wheel disc brakes. That's rare on these!!

GM seems to have had a problem with that. When I worked at a Chevy dealership in the mid-late 80s, there was a bulletin for that on B-cars. Goodwilled suit pants and police uniforms for that.Originally Posted by Drew

Car looks really nice...
Those are cool looking seats with the Z28 embroidery.. bummer about that little rip.. That shouldn’t be too hard to fix though..
I had no idea those could get 4- wheel disc brakes! Cool!

Mine was CFI/ auto. Thing never run right so we dropped in a nice 350/TH350 and ran low 13s. Man I destroyed Vettes, souped up Mustangs, etc.. Car was a blast! Sold it to a kid who burned it to the ground putting in a dang stereo. I'd love to buy Scott's car I like the old 4spds.
