87 z28 5 speed
I just bought an 1987 Z28 5 speed car. While it is in need of restoration it is low mileage (68,000), the interior is in great shape, the body is in great shape no rust that I’ve found (yet), the paint is decent. It is a bare bones, not many options Camaro. No power anything. Windows are manual, locks are manual, the mirrors are manual (I think). The steering wheel has no tilt. No t tops.
The rpo sticker is missing so I can’t tell what the car came with if anything. How rare is this car with no options like this? I am going to see about getting it running. I’m a semi professional with knowledge, experience, equipment and a shop to restore it. Would it be worth engine swapping a 350 or a period correct tpi 305? I’ll post pictures as soon as I take delivery of it.

As I'm sure your aware a Z28 was a less expensive way to get a nearly identical looking car impersonating as an IROC in 85-87. Bet a lot of people decided not to check a lot of boxes when it came to power goodie stuff to save some $$ and get a 2-4k discount off the price of a IROC.
Enjoy the restoration!

Is it delivered? I love to play online real money games and before playing those games on a site, I always make sure that it is trustworthy. I always visit https://casinosanalyzer.ca/online-ca...ian-dollar-cad because over there I can easily find CAD Casinos sites with reviews through which I can easily make money.
