I would keep the 82, it has more value and all it needs is a paint job? The car looks sexy already.
Also I wouldn't trade, considering you may find more promblems with that car than what he is already said.

Keep the '82. You asked this question on a 3rd Gen forum and expected a different answer? :-)

Unless you NEED a faster car, keep the '82, it's better looking and already a classic car

Re: 82 z28 for a 96 z28?
Why in Heaven's name did the owner install a 98-02 front end on a 96?
Those front ends are the ugliest ever. I know it's an LT1 but if you really want an LS1 vehicle then get a C5, GTO or a TA, the maros are just butt ugly with that front end

That 82 has a butt ugly cowl on it and it is in dire dire need of lowering springs, but other than that the 82 is clearly the better looking car.
