New Guy

Hi every one. I'm dale. I new to the forum and thought is introduce myself. Didn't know exactly where to post so thought I'd start here. I'm in North Alabama. I have been messing with muscle cars for years. Started with an 84 T/A as my first car then a few 2nd gens. Then over to some
Mustangs. Recently had a 10,000 original mile 02 SS 6spd. Which brings me to my current car. The memories of my T/A brought me back to the desire I had to own a 91-92 Z/28. I just picked up a 17,000 original mile 92 25th Ann car. Black with red stripes and red interior. I love it. Just thought I would say hi and hopefully get some help with the very few issues this car. All in all it's 10 in my book.... Dale

Re: New Guy

The bonus is in my search for a clean 91-92 Z28 I found another (91) Z/28. Both cars happen to be black, g92 code cars with 5.7 TPI. So... Me and my sons are gonna restore the 91 back to its original glory. And while we are at it we have the 92 with low miles to enjoy...

Re: New Guy

This is the 91 with 170k on it, someone resprayed the car and attempted the heritage stripes but failed. Horribly. Here is a pic.

I bought the 91 here in Bama in Horton off Craigslist. The 92 low mileage car was an accident while looking for parts for the 91. Went all the way to Ohio for it. But yeah the 91 was listed here locally.
