Replying to: explorerx4 (Feb 01, 2009 2:14 pm) the red car in the garage was a late '80s Z28. Real minty. Calls it his baby. In the 2nd bay of the garage was a '49 Chevy coupe in a state of disassembly. He did have a banged up thing in the driveway, I guess that was the GN. I didn't pay much attention to it. And he had about 3 other projects near the street. So this is why he was letting the Z go. Shifty may not approve of what I paid for it, but its one of those that goes beyond pics/description ... well, at least the SELLER's pics/description. Honestly, I think he could have gotten more had he gone into better detail. The structure of this car is amazingly clean. It would be impossible to have any better in the rust belt. There is ZERO rot on this car. And it runs beautifully. Add to that the fact that ALL the electrics work and the seats and dash look 5 years old rather than 25 years old. I feel it was well worth the $1100 I paid. (well, ok, I paid $1200, but the extra $100 was to have him trailer it to my house.) For the little bit I was able to drive it, I was amazed at the power. It did not feel like 160hp. I think the 2800 lb curb weight must do wonders. Tomorrow night I will hope to have the time to pull the alternator. I'm sending it off for a rebuild for which I probably won't get charged. Oh, and I guess since the timing belt is a mystery, that's top priority, as well.

Insane BIN Seller has no idea what a 442 is Not bad?? What is a reasonable offer? It certainly looks like a nice car and the buckets have to be rare Such a fast ugly car Is this too much? Not the best Vette ever but if the miles are real, is this in the right ballpark? Could a GTO have a 326? Same seller has a Catalina Is this worth restoring? This price is probably high, right? It's not a van and the words 160,000 miles should never be preceded by 'only' especially not on one of these |
