Gorgeous bright yellow '78 Z28

[dhauser]

I put it back on ebay last night. This is a really nice car, guys. Will not find a nicer toy/cruise night car for the price.

Gorgeous running and excellent driving original Z. Only 84k original miles, matching #s, highly detailed car throughout with excellent mirror smooth paint. New BFGs, highly optioned with PW, PL, cruise, Air, PS, PDB, etc. Starts every time, even in the coldest weather. Sounds awesome with Flowmaster exhaust.
ZERO RUST. $15k

Wow........NICE Z!! And a great price. I would think that car should sell pretty quick for 15K. Hell, can't buy a newer used car for that. Thanks for the time warp.

Thanks, guys. For $15k, this is a screaming good deal given how nice this car is. The engine pics were too big to post, but it is painted and polished and VERY neat under the hood as well. Turn-key car for $15k, and these are definitely NOT going down in value as the old stuff goes out of reach for many.

Car is also on ebay if anyone wants to throw their best shot at it....

There are 3 videos on there as well. If you take your time looking at the pics, they'll be loaded and ready to watch by the time you scroll down to them. In the third video, you can really hear the engine screamin' in the background. Car sounds awesome and runs even better.

I'm actually a little surprised there haven't been a larger diversity of bidders on this thing. It is really a nice car all the way around and drives just beautifully.

3 days left. Tell yer friends....

How did you attach pictures? When I click to start a new thread, there's no "manage attachements" button to post pix.

 

[dhauser]

It's always there for me.....maybe you're experiencing a glitch in the software. Not sure what else might explain it.

 

[dhauser]

Back on ebay. See link at top. No one will be disappointed with this car.

 

[dhauser]

12 hours left and I have to admit I'm disappointed at where the price sits given how nice this car is. I know these cars aren't pulling big money yet, but they are going to in the next few years, and this one needs no cosmetic or mechanical help outside of fixing the AC, which is par for the course on most all of these older cars. Less than half the price of the average new car and it's ready to show....

I have no clue what you're talking about. I didn't offer the car to anyone for $13k.

Furthermore, why on earth are you comparing this car to a Hyundai??? Are there really people out there scratching their heads going, "Hmmmm.....the Z....or the Hyundai.....which should I pick.....

If you don't want the Z-28 then leave it alone. How hard is that. No need to bash someones car because you don't like it.

Removed my responses to the troll.

I had a 78 Z just like that one with a tired 125,000 mile 165hp motor that ran 15.40, 3 times in a row on Goodyear Eagle STs. The car had an open 3.42 gear that was perfect. I dont remember the MPH but that 91 sounds about right. I loved that car soo much until my younger sister ran it into a light pole 3 blocks from my house :frown: . I think ur gonna start seeing that generation getting LS1 transplants. That seems to be taking shape on the LS forums.
