For some reason that's another color combo I've always loved. Really need to liquidate some vehicles so when nice cars like this come up I can buy them.

Cool car!

Agreed- dirty color scheme.

Re: TOO BAD IT'S AN 86...
 
I agree! But I'm conflicted, lol! The low mileage makes it desirable, but it's only an lg4. I don't think I'd pay the asking price, but I'd start at 8k and maybe go 9 something?

I love that car. Low miles be damned, I'd put in a real drivetrain and put some miles on.

That car is neat. The '86 and '87 LG4s are a bit healthier than the previous ones. The stick makes it more interesting. I'd be in at under $8K.

I’d just drive it as is. Odo too low to mess with imo. Just cruise along doing the pedestrians a favor with the view.

I gain more appreciation for the LG4 the deeper I get into this. You can swap a 350 into one and make it look close enough to stock that no one will really know, and the potential for performance is better than a TPI car. I'd rather see an LG4 car with a 400hp 350 breathing through a 4bbl carb, than a L98 car that's been swapped. Granted you have to throw away a lot of stock parts, but then those stock parts on a LG4 car are pretty terrible. A person could even run the LG4 while making upgrades that'll work with an eventual 350 upgrade.

I love the color combo.....but I may be a little biased https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...757c3d53aa.jpg

I believe the gears on an '86, LG4, sticks were 3.23 standard or optional 3.73. Either one of those with an N10 exhaust, (manifolds to I-pipe) and HO air cleaner would make a fun to drive package.

I like it, other then it being a non-roller cam engine and the CHMSL being up high

Cool car! I even dig the crank windows as no one sees that anymore.. I had that interior in my 1985 Z28 and it probably holds up better than any interior on these cars..

I had white with black ground effects on my 85.. very similar.. was an auto, but TPI with T-tops.. was a fun car..

This is a good buy under $10k

I would buy that car. Love the color combo. LG4 / 5 speed can run mid to low 14s with some very basic mods and still look bone stock. Love the black interior.

A pic for the record

Someone in high school had that color combo. I love Irocs but I love that color on a Z.

I totally agree. I like how Ja85z28 made his to look just like an HO and warmed the Lg4 over. I would build something similar to the zz4 or something of that range and put it in there. I wouldn't hesitate to buy this car at 8500-9 and build it to my liking.

I really like the color combination on that... looks great... Were the wheels originally painted to match the stripe? even so, they look right on the car.

Re: TOO BAD IT'S AN 86...
 
That car is bone stock original for the wheels, stripes and paint.

YES YES YES! :nod: ...although while I love the Z28....I'd have to have some COLOR in there beyond just black and silver. It IS sharp though.
