1983 Z28

Hello everyone! This is Caroline (is it still a thing to name cars?) I purchased her back in April. My 3rd car, first 3rd gen. It has a 350 in it. Not sure about what trans is in it, the dealer has been ducking me with his build sheet since I bought it. I love the car, but sometimes I just feel like I got in over my head at 21 years old. But, I was told it'd be a work in progress when I bought it, so its all on me. It has a busted y pipe, and shakes pretty bad at 45 mph+. My goal is to have it fixed before I leave for the Navy in March.

Re: 1983 Z28

Thanks for the advice! I'll definitely have it checked come next paycheck! Is there any way for me to find out what kind of trans is in it? It was originally a 5spd, but he put an automatic in it
