sup everyone. my names jim and after getting my 3rd Camaro, I decided to jump on the forums again. its a 78 z/28 4sp car. purchased from the original owners widow. I have worked on this car for the last 17yrs and always said to him that if he ever wanted to sell it to let me know. unfortunately he passed away last year and his wife called me to let me know she wanted to sell it. purchased new locally and special ordered it. I have the build sheet from the local dealership that's still here, pretty cool! it has 58k miles and totally original except tires, battery, front brakes and catback. I did change the carpet and rear deck which was really faded. paint is worn off on top and trunk, which needs to be fixed. winter project. ive owned a 82 pace car and a 86 berlinetta, which both didn't drive near as nice as this car. so now I have a use for the 500 8track tapes my uncle gave me

Welcome to CF. Nice to have another 2nd gener here. The car appears to be in amazing shape other than the paint faint.
