  • @DSpeir-pi6tm

    I graduated high school in 82 . My father found a metallic blue 79 Z28 with T-tops in the local auto trader the guy was practically giving away after his wife damaged the oil pan and kept driving it till the engine locked up . My father is friends with a guy that owns the largest junk yard in town .
    By shear coincidence, a truck carrying brand new GMC Sierra 1500's to the sales lot jack knifed on the expressway destroying the load . The guy at the junkyard bought all the engines for the trucks .
    My father got one for $800 . We took all the pollution control crap off the engine and put it in my car with some blackjack headers . It was great. I love that car and wish I still had it .

  • @fortuitousorder9705
    @fortuitousorder9705 6 лет назад +3

    My friend had a similar Z28, but in black. I always loved that body style. There were problems with the clear coat and no matter how well you took care of the paint, the clear coat would just peel off. For those that don't know, I believe those wheels are Center Lines and they were very popular in the 80's. You have had to been there to appreciated them today.

    Wonderful job, I have a 79 TA SE t-tops that I did at home like you (except paint and engine rebuild), people think it’s hard, it’s not, just takes time. One mistake people make is they don’t refurbish interior, they buy new parts, not necessary all the time. I didnt have a son to help so it was a solo job, now my girls want the car that’s it’s done! Anyway yours looks fabulous!

    Very nice restoration. I have my own 79 Camaro that I restored. Mine is at the other end of the spectrum mine is a Carmine red metallic 250 inline 6 3 speed standard with AC and a factory vinyl top. Pulled it out of a barn 3 years ago I only drive it on really nice days. Car had no rust. Runs like a Swiss watch. only has 42000 miles. Bought from the original owner who was in his mid 90s.

    When I realized how important it was to get kids more interested in cars I turned my 1978 camaro into bumblebee from transformers. The next car show I took it to I turned alot of heads. Here you have these guys with 40k or more in a car and watch it like a hawk and then me with my car letting kids sit in it and touch it. Won 3rd place and made a few people mad but enough people liked it that I won an award so...
