My 83 Z28

Just took delivery of my 1983 Z28 a couple weeks ago and wanted to share some pics with you guys.

Nothing fancy, bone stock LG4, auto, C&C(sadly not factory) t-tops.
I know the pics aren't great but we have had a bunch of crapy wheather up here for the last couple of weeks.




----------
Couple more...

Re: My 83 Z28

Looks great!!

Although I personally think that Irocs and 91-92 Z28's are among the best looking 3rd Gen Camaros, there is something to be said of a real clean 82-84 Z28!! Yours is definately sweet! All original? How many miles?!

Re: My 83 Z28

Thanks for the comments guys.

Brennan, I got it for $9K plus had the dealer flush the trans and put in a new seal and a new seal for the rear end because it had a bit of moisture when I had them put it up on a lift. Zero rust by the way.

Amack6, I agree with you, I really like the 91-92, unfortunately I have yet to find one in good shape for the right price. This one has 18K original miles. To my knowledge verything is original exept for the t-tops(c&c) and new speakers I just put in. Also the gas cap was changed out for a chromed one at some point, not to worry though, I have one in route from Modern day muscle. The radio is FM/AM only (no tape), I considered installing a 4th gen stereo after I saw yours but I then read that you have to do some mods to make it fit so I'll just leave it alone. The exaust has some pretty neat tunes anywat.

Thanks, that is actually a Quartz clock.
Refer to line number 7 on the picture below.
I took a picture of the 1983 Camaro brochure (its 2AM) didn't want to go outside and take a pic of the car.
My car also came with the rear window wiper/washer system.

This is the only good picture I have of it on the car.
Sorry the picture is a bit smaller but I had to cut my daughter off of it.
Didn't want her picture on the net.

Yeah I know, I need new buttons for the hatch release and the windows. I'll get them soon.

Gotta agree about the hotness of the 91-92s but they are a dime a dozen. Ive rarely seen a clean early maro (82-84) That is in such great shape on this site let alone on the road.

Congrats on the purchase! Looks sexy, take care of her

Re: My 83 Z28

Re: My 83 Z28

Thanks again for the comments everyone.

lourdmetalz28, I don't know if it was an option for IrocZ's. I will post a question on the History/restoration board. Those guys have all the right answers.

We do take care of him and we enjoy him very much. He's a part of the Family now.
