Re: FOURTY !!!!! Mile (40 mile) Survivor 1980 Z-28
I believe this may be the car that was next to my 70RS Z at Super Chevy Maple Grove in 2003....how many ultra low mile black 80 Z's are out there???
it was real nice, but I did not think it was fair that I was in the same class as a 1980 Camaro.... ..as it turned out, I won first in class and the 80 Z took second place...and was definitely in nicer condition than my car...???

Don't we know someone who picked up a 70 in that area with the sheet still on the pumpkin?

Bill:
Why should the buyer beware? You don't think an assembly line worker could have put a castle nut on backwards? Of course, the Quality Control Supervisor would have caught it prior to delivery. LOL! You wouldn't have believed how my new 1982 showed up. That's one Killer Z/28 and it will be at my house if it doesn't go too much higher. Ed

Re: FOURTY !!!!! Mile (40 mile) Survivor 1980 Z-28
Bill,
I have to agree with you. I bought a brand new 79 Z and it was without a doubt the worst build quality car I have ever owned. My favorite issue with the car was the 1st and 2nd gear linkage rod fell off on my way home from work one night. I don't know if the CA built cars were any better in that late 70's, early eighties era but the Norwood cars were awful.

That is not a castle nut as we know it.That is a no cotter pin nut that has the dimples on it so that it wont back off after tightened.

Re: FOURTY !!!!! Mile (40 mile) Survivor 1980 Z-28
They are some kind of flare nut. Saw them many times when replacing idler arms, center links, and tie rod ends when I used to turn wrenches back then.
No cotter pin needed.
