Im in central Cali and it runs strong and fires right up, I had a 74 el camino with a 383 stroker that i build from the ground up and i ran it for a few months and just rebuilt the tranny so i could sell it... my first car 
but i got a deposit and bought the Z28 outright with my own money. the LS engines are new to but im gonna be reading alot off the forum and hopefully build up a nice GT killer for saturday nights.

Halo headlights are never a good deal. Those should be removed ASAP, then you'll have a nice car.

Sounds like a good deal. Make sure you do some searches on what mods you want to do. With this site being around forever, chances are your question has been asked 10x over.
Happy modding!

Bronx...those headlights look sharp. I don't know why people hate on the halos.
Alteeza/Euro clear headlights always look like cheap crap. The halos with the black background look really good on these cars though, not to mention they offer superior light output and allow you to convert to HIDs since they have projector low beam lenses.

Sorry guys, I just plain hate any sort of halo/aftermarket headlight. Only thing I can live with would be the Whistler mod on stock headlights. Otherwise, stock is the only option, IMO.
