I decided to pick up a 1979 Z28 for trade for the IROC-Z. I will get another third gen but i wanted to get a classic before they get to expensive. I will show the new car but i will be around the boards and get me another third gen. -Matt

 

After all that work you put into it...your giving up. YOU TRAITER!!! Just kidding man have fun with the 79, and be sure to post pics.

 

lol yea it was hard to leave the ROC. But the 79 Z has some decent dents but i mean it has not one rust hole in the quaters, trunk, floors nothing. Its a second owner car so im the third. It was just a great deal. Of coarse ill need a daily driver so im gonna pick up another third gen. But sadly right now its one or the other.

 

Here is the new ride. 79 Z, 350 auto runs pretty good. I have the other factory wheel thats just a spare. Just wanted to share with everyone. I will get another third gen but for now things have went in a different direction.

 

Thats a nice ride. I remember this dude had a 79 Z28(yellow) when I had my 85 ROC. He always wanted to race me. I never did race cuz I didnt think i could win. My ROC was a 305 and it topped out at 80mph! He was pushing a 350 with a few mods if i recall correctly. Anyway bro.. be prepared to drop lots of cash into her. U know how these older fixer uppers are! lol Good Luck

 

hey thanks man, body wise shes about as solid as they come.not rust holes. Solid trunk and floors. Runs pretty good and dont look to bad. Im ready for it tho man. -Matt

 

atleast you dont have to spend money on another 5 inch spoiler

 

lol thats awesome. I didn't think of that lol Good point.

 

Good luck this is mine

 

is that rear emblum stock?

 

yea its the stock emblem. It has 3 black stripes and the bowtie. They dont make it any more so its kinda hard to get.

 

You got a bargain then i got mine for 200 with a 454 but needs a rebuild which i am doing now

 

Wow man Nice. A guy up the street from me has a 79 Camaro just sitting in his yard but he won't sell it

 

Man Matt so your out of it? Was it an even trade or how did that work. My Dad has an 81 z-28 and Ever since he bought that car, Ive found new love for second gens :-)

 

Damn man that thing is NICE. It was a straight trade. No boot either way. Im satisfied with the trade. The car is in great shape for the age and its coming along fine. Interior is in good shape.

 

Where you live at in Kentucky i live in Tennessee?

 

Around Owensboro, its just south of the Indiana border

 

Nice project. My dad has had 2 '79 Z28's and 1 '78. I can't remember which one of his was the same colour as that one though. Should post the updates when they come!
