Deciding between a '77 z/28 or '79
 

Hey everyone, I’m looking to buy a 2nd get Camaro and have a couple options of cars I’ve found in my area. Based on the information below, what are y’alls thoughts? As far as price, the ’77 is $2k more than the ’79. Feel free to ask any questions.

Its like blondes ,brunettes and redheads type question .I would have another shop or a knowledge-able friend look at both cars,

Yea, i understand. I am getting shops to do pre-purchase inspections on them so we'll see what that turns up.

Well, an update here. The blue one came back with some frame damage on the inspection and just a little more overall work than i was ready to get into. During that time the black one sold as well. BUT, i did end up purchasing this beauty! 1976 with a 383 and a bunch of other work already done; new trans, new 12 bolt rear end, long tube headers, disc brakes all the way around, tubular uppers and lowers, etc.

Looks like a good buy.Good luck to you.

Nice 76, is that a Harwood steel hood? Are you going to put A/C back in it?
