Z28s didn't come with 6-cyls; and the 6-cyl didn't come with the CrossFire, and the last year of the CrossFire was 83 in any case.

What is it, really?

Crossfire was engine code LU5 from 82 - 83. You have a 2.8 V6 and I don't think it is very special . Since the car isn't a real Z 28 there probably isn't much you need off it.

Good luck getting much help around here with your cocky know it all attitude.

It's not a Z28.

I know a thing or 2 about Z28s. I've been owning them for the last 30 years or so. Probably since before you were a gleam in your daddy's eye. Been familiar with them since they came out in 1967, although it was many years later before I could afford one. That was maybe before your daddy was a gleam in your grand-daddy's eye.

No Z28 ever came with a 6-cyl. Period. I don't care what stickers somebody put on that car. It's not a Z28.

No you may not have any of what I'm smoking. You probably couldn't handle it. After all, reality is only for people who can't handle drugs.

sorry you are right i stand corrected, i assumed the obvious but it was incorrect, i PM'd you


it turns out you do know what youre talking about, it just didnt look or seem like it at first, i cant help that the car is a fake, i had no idea, i wrongly assumed it was a true Z

i just learned the hard way that looks are decieving and that even a car that looks all original can be a fake, even in cornfield farming low populated are like here where i am, where no one really does anything with cars cept run them hard and trash and scrap them part them,

but then i guess that happens everywhere eh ?


no wonder the rear bad on this car is so small, no i knw why

heh

no worries

thanks
