I'm new to the forums, so I thought I'd post some pictures of the car... that's usually a decent introduction, right??

She's all stock. For now...

looks great. myself i would leave it stock with the exception of the rims, which i would keep, and some under the hood stuff.

what do you plan on doing to it?

 

I'm probably going to go with a 383 stroker or 350 crate and build it to god knows what... I have also put a lot of thought into an exhaust, and possibly ZR1 rims. (Black w/ chrome lip.)

 

Looks like it's in great shape!!

-But who replaced the tail light lenses?? Those aren't the originals.
-The shifter looks different too -Is it an automatic?? If it is, someone replaced the tranny too since the L69 package in '83 only came with the 5 speed manual...

 

They aren't?


ETA: It's a 5 speed. Just a different shifter ****, I believe. I meant engine wise, it's all stock... lol. Sorry, some small things may have been changed! This is my first F Body so I don't know a ton about them yet.

ETA#2: You can see the shift diagram in the interior picture. ^^

 

Nope - these are:

Ahh, OK - the shifter just looked different, didn't notice the shift pattern plate. The car's 25 years old so I don't doubt little things might not be original. I wish mine were in that good a shape when I got it!! Instead, mine had a hard life....rescued it from sitting in a driveway outside for over 7 years....if I didn't buy it, it was on it's way to the junkyard for sure.

 

Eh. I'm not too upset about it, those would be nice but it's not something I'm going to get to right now. I do think the ones you posted look better, though.

 

Didn't say "better" - just not original.

 

Sorry, a little jumpy today. People have been tearing every detail of this car apart since I got it running again! Even over the pioneer head unit. I like my music to sound decent, dangit!

 

No prob...

My car isn't "original" either nowadays:

 

Hey now, that's a little too sexy! I can't wait to build this... It's my winter project, for sure. I really wanted to supercharge a 350...

 

Welcome to TGO Tranquil if you haven't been welcome already I have a '83 Z also and it's nice to see another. Not to be another nit picker but she has '84 seats probably to replace a torn original set.

 

Yeah, when I said stock I meant performance wise.

The headliner has also been redone, and I did the sail panels myself.

 

Very nice. I see you also posted in the 82-84 thread. We're trying to keep that thread going. Again, very nice ride and welcome to TGO. Please post more pictures.

 

Looks really nice!
