ihere's some photos of my Z-28 which was purchased new from the Mussalem Garage, i found it in 1984, did a rotisserie rest on it in 1988, added options such as OEM tinted windows, rosewood wheel and 4:10s from my first Z, used JL-8 system with service package housing and 22 plate posi, GM crossram with '140 cam and real steel crossram hood (1 of 6 or so i'm told) partial exterior chrome trim and endura bumper.
i also added day two items such as MSD ignitionperiod tach and auto-meter gauges, headers, hi-perf clutch and lakewood bell housing, bistein shocks and quickor swaybar with radials give it modern handling. i have all the original pieces such as exhaust manifolds, in storage. i also found a COPO that came from Dick Irwin chev-olds in North Vancouver, just finished the resto on that last year. it is a rally green, m22, 8 track, rear de fog car. i have added the options tinted windows, rally wheels , 13'16 sway bar and radials on rally, endura bumper and rosewood wheel. its also day two modified with ceramic headers, MSD ignition, period tach & auto-meter gauges, hi -perf. clutch and lakewood bell housing , i still have all the stock parts to return it to stock including the XT wheels tried to get docs and photos posted on here but couldn't |

trying to get photo bucket to work, bit of a learning curve, forgot to mention a couple of options added to the COPO, a chambered exhaust system i bought NOS over the counter from Dick Irwin before. i also installed a mint untouched set of aluminum "842 heads dated early 69, the motor made 490hp on the dyno with the crane version of the stock 375hp cam.
i'm trying to upload photos but this site is not for photos, blog only i guess because its handicapped by very limited file size, maybe one photo at a time? |
