Talking New Guy

Hey everyone my name is Frankie,

I am new to the forum and I finally got the opportunity to buy one of my favorite cars of all time!!! There is no rust, no engine problems and it is 5spd!. It is a 1987 z-28 camaro with the 305v8 carb.
Here are some pictures of it!

I have plenty of ideas for this and I am excited to be apart of this forum!

^^^^
Thanks man, I know the 5spd is rare...I got the car a couple days ago with 125xxx original miles on it and I only paid $2050 for the car. I feel like that's a good deal.

Looks like a solid car. Nice to see another with black and gold, I have to admit I'm going to miss my gold once my car is painted.

Time for a 350 swap I bought mine 3 years ago and within a week the 305 was gone.
