Re: Restoration of an 83 Z-28

do you have any idea how much that will cost? your better off doing the work yourself. im not saying that these cars arent worth working on, just that they are no 67-69 and the cost of a full restoration could easily cost 4-5x the cars actual value. thats why people generally work on third gen's themselves. its not worth sinking 10-15k into on in one shot. the paint job and engine alone could exceed 5-7 grand easily depending upon what you buy.
