Dads '77 Z/28, the suspense is killing me

[notstock71]

Yes dad is still here. Fortunately I was pretty young when he got the car and he had it for a few years before selling it for the 69 RS/SS he had. Dad knows what is going on and he is still very surprised I found it. He will be with me Sunday when we meet the owner.

Dads car had the 500's on it. I don't know anything about them except dad said they were recalled. Yes??

I've learned a ton on the 77's on NastyZ28.com . There was a thread on them that was over 40 pages long and it was packed full of great information. The nice thing is the '77's seem to be a forgotten year. They are slightly rare, 14,000 made with only 5,000 4 speeds. Divide that between all of the colors offered and the number is approximately 800ish. Plus it was the last year of the metal bumpers. Was it fast, nope, but what was in '77.

Hopefully I will have good news on Sunday.

Got any pics that your Dad took when he owned it? They weren't fast but they could handle the corners.



I loved my turbines on my '78 Z28 I ordered new too.



Once again, good luck, I'd be freaking out if I found mine. My '77 was something special to me because it was my first new car I ordered. And yes, I miss it.

Awesome find and best of luck putting a deal together.

My Father, who was not a "real" car guy, but was a VP at Chrysler would always talk about his 63 Chrysler 300 Convertible. Whenever the subject turned to cars, (which it often did when my brother and I were around), it was his 300 Convert.

Well...after 32+ years at Chrysler, there was occasional talk about future retirement. Mom, my Bro and I decided to search for a 63 to duplicate that ride. We ended up finding a near duplicate in none other then LaHarpe, IL a year or so later.

We spent several years gathering parts and getting ready for a resto. Unfortunatly, Dad passed away before even retiring and he never knew we had that car along with a huge collection of parts stashed in the back of my garage...

Anyone in the LaHarpe area remember a guy with a bunch of cars in the back of his farm along with a variety of others in his barns in the middle 80's? I remember him saying the 69 Roadrunner belonged to his son?

Anyway, hope you can make this happen, you will be glad you did!

Any news yet???

Well he didn't get the pictures taken so we didn't meet on Sunday. He said he will get them and will come over one night this week. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Sorry for no update. I didn't really have an update so I thought I would wait to do another post until I had more info.

I will keep everyone updated when/if I hear something.
