Got about 22k in mine at the moment. Has major engine failure about a year and a half ago and have since had to rebuild. Don't feel bad about it when I hammer it and it sets me back in the seat and looking at it.

I would have loved to have a trade when I bought this car but I daily'd an 85Z with the original 305 for 4 yrs til I bought this one. I probably could have sold it for $1500 if that. I've got it stored at my parents and it gets started once a week. When I graduate, It will get a 6.0 or something cheap and fast that I get to build in my spare time. Not just doing things to this because i have a Sat free once a month if that.

What a money pit, eh?! haha

My buddy had an 85z and loved that car, I miss it also. It was a fun as car to play with. I wish I had more time/money I would buy one just to you with.

Hell I have only had the SS for 7 months and it was completely stock when I got it. No it has all the things I listed and it still needs a little more 12 bolt but I wouldn't change anything about it. I love the car and it out runs a lot of cars that cost 10 times as much as mine
