Loved my Dads 78 Z/28. Talked him into buying it off the showroom floor. I had never driven a car that handled so great before that. It moved pretty good too. He had the dealer install Trans Am wheel fairings. In 79, the front fairings became standard. I also talked him into doing a burn out with me, but the Posi in the rear made him slid to the curb and he stopped.

I know we're hijacking the thread but also creating more interest for the car. Here is my high school parking lot circa 1979 (the two rich kids cars are up front) [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img] :

I graduated high school in 80 and went to U of Fla. My good friend there was a super rich high school kid who, for his 16th birthday, recieved a new brown 79 Z and a matching brown bass boat and trailer that was pinstriped to match the Z !!

Soon after college I bought an 81 Z for the wife. Also had a handful of 78-81 Z-28's over the years. I loved the way they handled. But hated the door sag !!

Beautiful car !! Good luck w the sale !!

A rich kid in my High School got a 71 Chevelle LS6 for his birthday. I know I know They were never built.

Bought a new 79' Z-28 -- local Chevy dealership had a set of keys for it ... that shows how many times had to take it back to get worked on. They replaced the T-Top seals twice ... replaced the tan carpeting (it faded to green) ... replaced the Q Jet ... in the sunlight you could see the primer through the paint on hood ... and that's just the major crap with it ... Must have been built on a Monday AM or Friday PM. Traded it for a low miles 83' Hurst Olds. TAZ

Nice 79 Z you got there!! Heres my 79 z28 bone stock 36,000 miles. Had to recore the radiator and replacing all the seals in the trans right now. Ordered new by a Lansing Factory employee.

Good luck with your sale!!
