If it runs, stops and starts and drives around the block with out over heating,it is worth that money. Check for rust issues, including lower door skins, frame, floors, check gauges,wipers,wiring mods etc, but still that is a good number
Does it still have the spare tire in it ???? lol
Posi still in it ? I think they put alot of 3:73 s in them ?
How does it sound cammed etc ?
remember money is tight now, a good buyer is hard to find, if you want the car do not let it get away.....but it is clearly a buyers market right now so try to cut your best deal
Good Luck
I hope it works out for you !

Rigs I thing I started driving the car in 82 and this pic was in 84 I think..it was a Confederate Flag bandana hanging from the rear view.

Ok I bought the car Friday for $8500 cash. Drove it to the races (as a spectator) Friday night,,about an hour drive round trip and it ran Great,,temp never got above 165 and it was 80 degree's....Put the family in the car and drove them to town( last night, Saturday Night ) another 1.5 hours round trip and had No issues...car is tight, tranny shifts Good etc..

I just want to do a few things...1st I want to find a MSD 6al ignition Box,,,,does anyone on here have one I could buy that I could trust ?


Also give me your thoughts about converting over to a E-85 car..I know the carb is a main change, what about fuel pump and anything other tid-bits ?...this E-85 stuff suppose to increase TQ and Hp not to mention its .50 cheaper average a gallon over 93 octane around here


thanks...I am living back in 1984 right Now and I love it....the 10.5 Nova is put over in a corner. lol

its bee a looooong time since I had a driveable street ( Hot Rod ) and I am loving it !!!!!!!!!

The only thing better about a 7AL2 box is that it has more whistle's and bells to work with so you don't need the add on's

Thats cool Brian! I went through my drag car, pro-street phase and when I got the Firebird it was nice, just to nice to drive the way I wanted. When I slid behind the wheel of the 79 Z28 I have now it was 1987 all over again! My very first 4-speed car was a 79 Camaro RS that I bought in 1987, so the car I have now is just a blast from the past. I have put almost 3500 miles on it this year just cruising around on the weekends. Now if my hair would just grow back!
Have fun buddy and post up some pics!
