Just bought a 1984 z28. Been looking for awhile, and got this one for 1,300.00. i didnt think that was so bad. It has a 350 with a 5 speed tranny, so thats cool. body needs work, but i wanted to do a full restore anyways. Just thought i would share my new joy.

 

That's what I like to see! A thirdgen is always a good buy in my book.

 

cool, good luck with it !

 

Better make sure it really does have a 350 and 5 speed. Check the casting numbers on the block to make sure. At any rate, nice buy

 

Congrats on the new toy. Have fun with her.

Yes check the casting numbers. Buddy of mine was told he had a 350/5 speed combo. We checked the casting numbers and it was a 305 from a truck. Car was originally a v6/5speed so I figured it probably was a 350...oh well hes getting a 400 for it now AND and automatic.

 

I also found a new toy. I havent got it yet but I am pleased to say it is almost a steal. Sitting out at an friends house(who I havent seen in years) is a '92 Z28. Its got a rod knock in its 305 TPI. It needs some repair on the front spoiler, but the body is straight, and the paint seems ok. I just need to take the algee and dirt off with a scrub brush. The windows need retinted, 'cause its peeling. It even has the same 17'' wheels I have on my '91. And the best part is I'm getting it for 500 bucks. If it works out I may keep it for a new daily driver, since my 91 is no longer a daily. Might turn and burn it to fund a supercharger.... Anyway, I cant brag to much until I pick it up, but it isnt going anywhere.

 

damn good find.. wish i knew where it was i'd offer em 600

 

Good luck on the restore...

 

Yeah i will probably do that... you never know for sure, but it moves, and the guy said it had a 305 h.o originally, which when i ran the vin, it said it had, then he said they dumped a 350 in it.. either way im happy, but where is the best place to look for the tag? i want to know what version of the 350 this is to see what the HP rating is anyways...

thanks

 

Thanks, it will be a long process, but the end goal is 400+ HP and basically a brand new car... I have a lot of local resources, so it should go pretty good. Already picking up new fenders and other bopody panels this weekend...
