I am the new and proud owner of a 1987 Z28 with only 43,000 original miles, I have to pick it up 2maro. It has the stock 305, and i was wondering what MPGs am i looking at. What parts should i be concerned about or inspect? Is there anything i should know about the car? I will have pics up as soon as i can.

Thanks ,

Around 15 mpg maybe you can Try exausts and things for better mpg. dont WOT ( wide open throttle) lol, make the car more aerodynamic...less friction by closing windows...no a/c uses alot of gas...try not to idle much...thats all good for more mpg

Things to check would be Fuel systems if The car was layin around for a while...Brake hoses maybe. Maybe clean out the carb if its carbed. there could be old gas in it...replace airfilter, just for better airflow...( I would, just because) and replace the tires to nice brand new Rubber waitin to be chizzled off.

 

Thanks for all the info, it will be very helpful once i start working on the engine. I picked up the car today and started working on it right away, I cant wait to see if finished.

Thanks again,

You need this. $400 includes everything to make it work! (exept for my instalation, you will have to do that yourself)

Woah, thats awesome...But idk If I like the Digital dashes for the Berlinetta or not...I wonder if they would fit in a Iroc-z?

 

I paid $400 for the car, i found it in a old junk yard behind my friends grandfathers house. It also came with a spare set of t-tops(how much are they worth?). MadMikeZ28 I do like the dash, but i need to paint the car and put a sterio system in it first.

 

T-tops can go for $100 to $200 for plain old t-tops...I've never seen them more expensive than that, but they could be.
