Project "barn find" 96 Z28 1LE
#44
Supposed to be nice this Friday... Crossing fingers that I can get it done then.
Jawz…. So you were trying to buy a 1LE? This car is pretty nimble "as is".. Should ride on rails w the Strano's.. Removed the spare tire and all of that to reduce weight even more. In all of the years I have bought and sold 4th gen fbods.. I have never come across a 1LE... This one was a fluke.. I have always been fond of the 96-97 BTM cars. When I saw this one in a barn w only 28K miles I was intrigued.. When I asked him to send me the RPO codes and I saw the 1LE... I knew that I had to have it. It is truly a very solid car!
So, the one you were looking at... How many miles? color? What was he asking?

That car looks mint. Nice find! I wouldn't mind painting mine that color.

You know "dude"... I thought of that. It is a "rare" car indeed. I feel as though the Strano's add to the car in terms of form and function. The Borla definitely is a plus. K&N CAI, air foil, STB can all be removed. I have all of the stock pieces. Hopefully getting the windows tinted this week. I have been away (Military) for the past few weeks. Taking it to a local car show (Cars N coffee) here in Dallas this weekend.
Picking up a personal tag this week as well. It needs a headliner as this one is sagging. Other than that the car is flawless... Also picked up some new mirrors that I plan on having painted the body color, i'll keep the black ones as well.
Just a few tasteful mods to make it "mine" you know. Car shows, sunny day weekend cruiser is why I purchased it. I have an 08 Z06 (H/C/I/E) that I normally drive on weekends. I put maybe 4K miles per year on it, i'll put even less on the Z28... Struggling with adding Kooks and calling it a day.
Thanks for the kind words. Its truly a great car.
