I located the car in south jersey - the nephew had acquired the car from his uncle who owned it since 1985. The car spent all its years in Thornton, PA so it is possible that this was one that you saw. Not many with those incorrect old school Z fender emblems.
The car was garaged its whole life - I would say it probably has never seen road salt or snow either. It has the usual minor cancer marks but nothing severe and nothing requiring more than a little torch work and tiny patch panels.
These cars are really starting to disappear. Not so long ago they were cheap undesireable cars but that tide has turned. There are some out there but not many factory 4 speed t-top cars.
Trying to decide what to do with it. I have half a mind to strip it down and do a full factory restore on it. On the other hand, I am thinking to strip down, cosmetically restore to stock but drop the entire drivetrain for a built LS3 and 6 speed so I can run it and enjoy it. We have done many old school meets new technology builds but have not done any on a 2nd gen yet. If I went that route I would have to keep the car and enjoy it as it would cost more to build than the market would bring on it.
I have to get out and rip that back seat out. Dying to see if that virgin build sheet is tucked in there. Not much about the car to learn from it but just something about finding that sheet of paper that has not seen daylight in 33 years that gets you psyched. </div></div>
