Matching numbers original 1985 Z28 purrs like a kitten. One thing that you might find interesting; I purchased a one piece Fel-pro pan gasket, but quickly realized that clearly the oil pump pick-up was a nearly impossible tast. Therefore, I spliced the gasket at the dip stick hole. Then repaired the splice with black Permatex silicon sealent. ZERO leakage. All other gaskets utilized on the project came from Cometics. Cometics gaskets are viton rubber over a metal core. Pricey, but again no leaks

The original owner painted the wheels in 85, and they still look good 32 years later. However, my personal preference is the stock look. 

Thank you in advance for your assistance with the color code for the factory wheel.

In 1985, I was a young buck Sargent in Germany,  and bought this almost exact car new through the PX.  The only exception is that this Z28 is a 5 speed!
