Anybody here know the back story on these vehicles?
The placard has the 1979 drivers names on it. |
IIRC Unser drove a PINK one...

Doubtful being a Coupe but maybe used as a Parade car or possibly some kind of Promotional vehicle?:hmmm: It may offer little but being Canada Vintage has build paperwork available for most all '77 and newer vehicles regardless of where built/shipped new, could be worth a whirl? :beers: ~ Pete , |

----That Z is really clean even for 21,000 miles. An uneducated guess is that the buy it now a fair price. Color combo is a bit odd, but the car is the car!......Bill S

Saw that car for sale recently out of Arizona for under $7000.00. Thought it was a good deal. That green though...

They were a promotional giveaway car with Sprite in conjunction with the IROC race Has been discussed here too:

That's got to be the most horrible interior color ever.
I think I turned this color once when I was stuck on a cod-fishing boat for 8 hours, during a storm, in the Atlantic when I was a teenager. Was that a stock interior color or something just for this promotion? |
it's like sitting inside a booger

If I recall correctly, there was a very, very light green exterior color that year that this interior would have at least complimented (if that's possible with that shade of green).

These Sprite specials were made at Both Norwood and Van Nuys. Got to wonder if Coca-Cola specified the color combos?

I actually like the green interior!

Gotta go green - it's weirder! Might've matched the fridge back then, too ...

back in 78 or 79 I was at one of the chevy dealerships here in tulsa and there was a bright metallic green with red interior Z28 sitting on the lot. I mentioned how horrible a color combo it was to the salesman and he said a guy was mad at the dealership over something and managed to get a salesman to accept a 50.00 deposit and order the car and of course never picked it up. he said they would take a pretty good loss on it just to get rid of it. never saw it again but always wandered where it went.

Green with red gut? Did the car have the base T/A wheels on it or assuming it was a 79 perhaps the optional wheels?
