Default Got it! The Z28 I wanted in high school.

Well finally, with some great help from people on this site, I got a new toy to play with. No its not a 69 or a 701/2..............its an 80
For those who have seen my previous posts, I found one that was nice.
The story- I decided to take 1 of my high $ Mopars off the table. For me, it made sense, even though i feel i will never get the return on my money that this car would have continued to appreciate. But, it ends up paying for at least 4 of my other very fun and collectible cars.
The car i sold, i listed here at one point.........1971 Plymouth cuda 440-6, shaker 4 spd, super track pack etc etc.
Very original, 26k miles and matching everything. documented with a perfect broadcast sheet.

The car i bought?
Well first let me explain that i am soon to be 40 and when I was 17 and my Volare was on its last legs, I wanted to buy a car.I had worked since the 7th grade and had saved some dough. My dad said NO. He would only buy one for me.........not a bad deal...........but it put the choice in his hands. His salesman's wife had an 80 Camaro with a V6 and an automatic and now it was mine. I loved the car, put BFGs on it, a sunroof and, a killer stereo (my Dad was the midwest rep for Pioneer ) I drove it senior year and all 4 years of college. I finnally sold it and my college acquired 71 Lemans sport convertible, to finance my 88 Mustang GT convertible when i was 23.
But..........what i really wanted when i was given the car was a 4spd Z28. Soooooooo I have taken my revenge.

With some help from Rich N.(not P) on this site and ebay I purchased a 1980 Z28. 4spd 350, 26k original miles, 80% orignal paint, all original interior and original and matching #s throughout. I would consider the car a survivor! This car has been babied its whole life. The car was ordered new in CA. however that limited you to a 305 and an automatic so the orignal owner ( I am the 3rd) had it delivered in Meford Oregon to get the the 350 and the 4 spd. I have the original order sheet and as luck would have it, while the seller was looking for a lost cell phone, he tore half of the build sheet out from under the front seats springs leaving the other half for me to retrieve

I will have bruce post a couple of shots.
