Recognize this car?
I recently bought this 2000 Z-28 from Plano, TX. It lived its life in and around the Dallas area. Based on some of the mods, I am guessing that it frequented the local tracks (probably more road courses). I picked it up through a dealer that bought it wholesale. I have tracked down the dealership where it was traded in by the original owner, and I have the owner's name, but his address has changed from what is on the title. I would like to know what engine mods have been done. I was told that the cam has been swapped and the heads ported, but I would like to know for certain without a teardown to inspect. The car was cheap enough for the gamble. Does anybody recognize this car? If so, please help me get in touch with the owner. There were two names on the title, David and Robert (I won't post last names, I am guessing father and son). I have contacted the dealership where it was traded in to see if they would have the owner call me, but nothing yet.

The front was damaged at one time, not to the core support, but painted poorly. The rear was also repaired and painted, better than the front, but not up to decent standards. I hope to be able to fund a paint job this spring.

Doesnt sound like you got too bad of a deal, especially with the mods. How many miles does it have?
BTW: I have a brand new SLP Lid that i can sell ya, and i will be rolling through Cold Spring on Saturday night if all goes as planned. I could stop by your place. And i could help identify some of your mods Let me know what you think!

Edit: Didnt see it already is debadged, guess it could pass as a V6 then, haha.
