Bought another LS1 F-Body
Well since the day I sold my 2000 Z28 I've regretted it. I still have an 04 Cobra that is a blast, but I've always wanted another F body since. I actually had gotten in contact with the old owner of my 2000 who was out in Oklahoma and had talked to him about buying it back. He gave me a price and we agreed and had a date set to come out and everything, and he backed out last minute. That upset me because I really missed the car, but I found one a few hours away on Craigslist for a pretty killer price in great condition.
This is a 1998 Z28. LS1 Auto car. I am the second owner, has 100k miles and is 100% stock down to the air filter. Car starts and runs and drives with no issues. It came from Virginia. This is probably the cleanest F body I have ever seen with these kind of miles. I'll share some pictures the previous owner sent me (because it's snowing here and the car will be in the garage for the next few months) and plans.
Off the bat plans (some I've already ordered) for installing before getting the car out for the spring include:
BBK ceramic LT headers
O/R Y pipe w/cut out
SLP cold air kit
Yank SS4000 converter
Aftermarket cooler with -6 AN pushlock hoses
4.10 ring and pinion
Weld Wheels with radials to replace these ugly stockers
Sunoco hood
And I think that will make for a fun cruiser for a while. I had a cam, th400, and a ton of other stuff in my 2000 z28 but I want to keep this one a little more street friendly.
Here's some pictures.
And after several hundred miles home on an open trailer in a snow storm, it's going to need a detail job!

I listed the mods I have ordered for it in the post lol.
Thanks sir! This is my 2nd, but they are fun!
Thanks sir. I have a WTB SS Spoiler ad in the FS section but they seem to be hard to come by. Might take a step out on a limb and try one of the ebay aftermarket ones but I don't really want to go that route.
Thanks sir. The body is really clean. Headlights have a little haze, I'll probably just replace them all together. I want to put a SLP grill in it too. I'll PM you on the price.

Thanks guys! I can't wait for spring. I haven't even been able to drive it yet since the day I got it home we got hit with a snow storm. Been not a snow flake all year until I loaded this thing on the trailer. Figures!
Hope it turns out as nice as the one in your sig!!

Finally got the car off the trailer and into the garage tonight. Put it on the lift to check it out all over. It is pretty clean, however isn't perfect. But I have to keep reminding myself this is not my newer 13k mile Cobra, and this is a 15 year old car with original paint. When I have my new hood painted I am going to have the passenger side fender painted as well. It has a little bit of sun fading and has a scratch on it. I might also have the front bumper done too due to some rock chipping. Anyways, here's some pictures.
I couldn't stand to look at those stock wheels anymore, so I ordered a set of Weld Racing Weldstar RT wheels. I will be going with a 17x4.5 Alumastar for the front. Sold some Cobra stuff I had today, so I can order the rest of my stock pile of parts to start throwing at this thing (gear, converter, trans cooler, exhaust, other bolt ons)
