New toy pics
 
some of you have wanted to see pics of the new toy here they are.
79 Z28 4-speed car 3:73 posi 24,285 miles. still has its original tires.
I dont care for the 5 spokes too much red, so I have a set of the optional n90 turbines that are going on.

I have the window sticker, build sheet and warranty sticker book.
car was sold new at Fairway Chevrolet in New Tazewell Tenn. to a guy in Berea Ohio.
from what I understand for his Daughter and she didn't like the 4-speed.
from there I here it went to a collector in Conn. then on to Michigan.

Sam nothing pretty under the hood, but I'll get a pic.

Re: New toy pics
 
the car drives real nice. not the fastest car I've got but it is the best handling.

Ryan, no collection Tanner may end up with this car all depends on him. hes a senior this year so grades and how well he takes care of his little Pontiac will determine that.

I assume those are not original vacuum line black plastic tie straps? The two near and around the PCV Valve? Just asking?

Heres an update on this car my son now owns it. and it looks like this now we put the N90 wheels on it

Damien 09-16-2020 08:21 PM

Good looking car. Nice to see your son involved as well.

Burd 09-16-2020 09:22 PM

Nice car! What battery came in it, do you have the BS?

Donnie 09-16-2020 09:35 PM

according to the BS its a 400 battery

JKZ27 09-17-2020 02:08 AM

Beautiful! Same colors as the one I bought in 92.
You just made me second guess parting with my current 79 Z...

wundercluck 09-17-2020 02:12 AM

Wow! Looking great...wheels are VERY sharp!

hogdaddy 09-17-2020 03:50 AM

Nice z would like to see some more pics especially engine.

markinnaples 09-17-2020 12:42 PM

Donnie, Love your son's Z, looks beautiful and those wheels look spectacular on it.
Almost forget how nice looking those late second gen Z's are.

dykstra 09-17-2020 01:29 PM

Gorgeous car!

COPO 09-17-2020 02:36 PM

Very nice looking car, congrats.

I would be really concerned about running the original tires. I had two radial TA's fail last weekend on my Pace Car after driving on the freeway. The tires were about 10-12 years old.

My car failed the annual inspection in Dubai due to the date code on tires being more than 5-years old. Maximum tire age is 5-years for all cars. Probably a smart rule to eliminate any high speed blowouts.

dustinm 09-17-2020 03:42 PM

Very nice I am too young to remember these cars new, but I dont ever remember seeing this color before.

COPO those are reproduction tires on the N90's

the originals are still on the five spokes.

I went with my high school friend to Celozzi Ettelson Chevy in Elmhurst and his dad bought him a brand new 79 Z28 (Black with blue stripes, interior) for his graduation present. Still has car today!
All I got for my graduation was a set of Craftsman tools which I am still using :-)
