i dont know if i ever posted final pictures of this car. it is a 86 Z28. 305 tpi. i drove it everyday for the 3 months before i sold it. i enjoyed the build and had a blast driving it, it got looks everywhere it went. this was a factory 4 wheel disc car, with power windows, door locks, and hatch. it was originally white with gold gfx and tan interior. i had it painted 06 corvette yellow which is velocity yellow. and i redid the interior two toned. i painted all the plastics black and left all of the upholstery tan. i redid the tpi and painted it all a grey color with a black plenum. btw the car supposedly had 36,000 original miles. i pulled it out of a field where it sat for about ten years.









what you think?
----------
couple more pics







it turned out really nice, and the new owner in michigan is happy with it. he is having a little issue with the car wanting to stall at idle but i am thinking it is probably just the change in altitude and hopefully a quick fix. i never had a problem with it down here, but GA and MI are totally different.

 

here are a couple of the new cars i bought in the past couple months.

C4 corvette



95 amaro lt1 t56



69 firebird project car



and this car isnt a new addition but i just got it back to the house the other day

 

Mr. Money bags...

IROC was nice but not my choice of color. Same goes for the vette. The '95 minus the rims was cool along with each of the '69s

 

I've been thinking about going with yellow for my GTA...Did you repaint the under hood as well? Or is it still white?

LOVIN' IT!

 

dont you mean car poor? lol

i wasnt crazy about the color on the vette but it has grown on me ALOT i get compliments on it all the time, and that is a 67 camaro RS btw not 69... i wish it was a 69 but sadly no its not.
----------
i did not paint under the hood, way too much time and effort and thanks. you should go for it, the yellow stood out trememdously. it was a huge selling point for the car i think.

 

My bad.

I posted that at like 5:30am after work

Still nice though! Even if I had the money for all of those cars, I doubt I'd buy them all. Too many roosters in the hen house so to speak.

 

should have posted the pics of it getting loaded up on the trailer

 

ya i have them ill post them later tonight, the shipping company was just a contractor basically the guy that came had a three car trailor and a dodge 3500 dually tow pig. i was thinking it was going to be one of those big car haulers but it wasnt. ill post a pic later.

btw guys sean is going to be bringing my red 95 back to life! cant wait.

 

The 86 Iroc-z looks just like my dads 86 iroc-z. his has the same color interior and is a 305 tpi with 42k miles on it. nice beautiful cars.

 

if you dont want to post them just send them to me....LOL

 

where did you get the grid style taillight covers?

 

those arent covers i tinted them personally. and the pics are on my laptop i never get on it. hopefully tonight. lol

 

IROCs nice...personal prefrence is for black headlight buckets and decals...the chrome wheels looks good though.

What are your plans for the 69 Firebird? TA clone?

 

thanks, ya i like black headlight buckets, but it is easier to paint them yellow. everyone tells me i should ta clone it. i dont really want to though i dont like white and i dont like those little blue stripes. i am pretty set on huggar orange, but red is an option also.

 

finally sold the '86, it was certinally a looker. I'm sure the new owner will be happy with her.

 

what about an inverse blue w/ white stripes on the 69? Just a thought

 

thanks brisk.

ya idk i kinda want to do a one color paint job because i really dont like the little skinny stripes they look goofy to me but i might do a transam clone because everyone likes those so it will sell better. it has a little straight six in it right now LOL. does anyone know of any good looking stripe jobs or custom kind of paint on a 69? i am thinking it is going to be just plain huggar orange but its not set in stone yet.

 

For the 69, do the single WIDE stripe that was popular on them back then.

I'm kinda thinking a single wide on my 87 GTA would look good, if I do the colors right.

 

wow, awesome collection... I seem to think by the time I'm 19 I wont have you beat (I'll still try though lol). as for the paint on the 69 Firebird I'd go red, I can't picture it in hugger orange, but then again Im a little biased.

 

ya i like that idea but i would like to see what it looks like on a 69 firebird though, i would have to see it on the car though.

 

Is it possible to tell me how you went about doing the taillights?

 

Looks like Mike got the 95 back and running well again.... I think he just night shades the tailights

 

i didnt get it running you did LOL. i drove it to work yesterday, no tag no insurance, no problem! but ya it is running great i havent got on it yet but it seems to have good power im going to drive it around today and let you know. ill give you a call when i get out.

and yes i niteshaded them. came out great but darker than i wanted.

 

heres a picture i took before you picked it up. i have never washed this car, lol it is filthy sean can attest to that.

 

nice lift, you bastard!!!




lol...jk

 

my grandad sells them and i help him install them, let me know if you are interested in one. we can get you a two post also or motorcycle, all kinds. these are all american made not cheap chinese metal like most companies now. why put a collector car ontop of a another collector car using cheap chinese garbage? i still dont understand that. lol but the company name is superior if you are interested.

 

Velocity Yellow is an awesome color, I love it on the Z06s. Nice looking car too.

 

well i added another one to the stable!! the other corvette is for sale now. $8500!!

 

man i really dont like you im 19 and can barely afford to keep my z28 going lol jk, youve almost got my dream collection right there just change the vette to a 71 sting ray and add a 79 trans am and i swear to god i will marry you

 

we have a 71 sting ray in the garage. i need to go take pics of the fams cars too. let me see if i can find a pic. ill probably have a bandit car eventually. i have my next car decided on already! early 80's 442.. i want one sooo bad.

here we go. this is a camera phone pic of the car inside the local mall at a car show. my mom has owned it since high school.

 

hopefully my next car will be a black and gold bandit and i love the 442 id much rather one from 69 tho

 

Did your Parents buy these for you or did you happen to find a bag with like 100,000$ in it or something. I find it hard to believe you have like 6 cars and your 19.. though it is possible..i have 2 and I'm almost 16 but thats with a little help from my parents.. where are you working or something because I still cant understand where all this moneys comming from.

 

i work hard... and make my own luck. i have had 7 cars, i have 6 right now. i just find deals and know how to use and save money. i bought everycar i own except the new blue one. my mom fronted the bill on that one, and she is going to be driving it everyday untill i sell my 86 and pay her back.

 

If you really like the C4s, you need to find a collector's edition. Is the blue 94 a manual?

 

wow just wow

 

ya i like the collector's but remember im 19 lol... i want to have a ZR1 one day or a c5 Z06, but thats down the line. this admiral blue is amazing and its just what i want for right now. and no it is an auto but i am in the process of buying a ZF 6-speed from a local vette club member so it will be converted soon enough, by me of course

 

Heh sounds good man, I'm still in high school j( a junior and bought my Rs myself for 2k and then my parents bought the Iroc for me when I pay them off. I currently have about half of it paid off and thats around 4k so I hope to have 6 when I turn 19 :-D i'm barely 15 almost 16 going on 2 cars so not bad I guess.

 

nope thats pretty good bro. i didnt even start working on cars till i was 16 so your ahead of me!

 

I need to come look at the new one mike.....Love the color

 

sure just give me a call. the color is gorgeous. the car isnt perfect but it is in twice the shape the other car is so i think i am starting off ALOT better. i havent started working on the new vette yet but i did get the tags for it and i gotta change the o2 sensor. i am going to be changing it over to a zf 6-speed in the short future.

 

nice cars

i have a 1968 ss 396/4sp marina blue camaro ,its a getting finished now
at my uncles body shop

its not perfect but gets the job done

 

DROOOOOL over all your cars!

Holy ****! Ive been pretty proud of our stable, but its nothing compared to yours haha.

Dad has a 91 Z28 (players car 1 of 32), 70 t/a Project, 2000 Trans am, and a 2004 Z06 Vette, mom has a 80 455 t/a, and ive got my 89 iroc.

Didnt realize your that young! Cool seeing you have such a nice car and just a little older then me (im turning 18 in september)

Gotta finish up the LS1 swap into my iroc and ill be out showing mine off.

Nice looking cars there Ga. brother! I was wondering are you painting the cars yourself or farming it out? I had a '87 Z-28 when I was in high school and I still have like these and have been thinking about getting another one. Right now al my rides are Fords except for my wifes LTZ 'burb. How much are the lifts going for with install? Take it easy! Oh yeah I'm down in Moultrie,Ga.

i have a good buddy/family friend here in town that paints really nice show cars out here in middle GA. he does great work and he paints all my cars. he is going to be painting my red 95 and he is going to be doing the 69 firebird in huggar orange if i dont change my mind before then. he painted my iroc and my bro's fox. and i dont know the actual price on the lifts but install now is about $600. i am in moultrie twice a year for the car show down there. if you are interested in a lift pm me and ill give you my #
----------

thanks alot man yall sound like you have some pretty nice cars. i like the 70 t/a's better than my 69. i would rather be doing one of those. if you are interested in pontiac parts pm me i have a 455 and $2500 worth of forged internals, brand new in the box im trying to get rid of.

i need a pic of my iroc in here since all my others are.
