    FOR SALE

HIT ME UP FOR PRICE AND INFO

 

 

    Alright, time for a major freakin update. I've kinda been slackin on my page with the bio and history of the car, I feel like it's time to change that. First off my name is Cody, I'm 19 and I graduated in '07. I live in the small town of Eaton, Ohio. yeah thats right, represent. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life after high school, but after driving around a piece for all of it I decided I wanted a car that would suit me. I went out, got a decent job at a factory, and two days before I walked I took a loan out for this beast :D It was a present to myself haha. I bought this Z from a guy in town. I am the fifth owner of the vehicle. The first guy is now dead after being beaten to death on the interstate, the second owner happens to be one of my close friends uncles, the third was some deadbeat who kept it in a barn and never drove it, and the fourth was from a legit business owner who lives here in town. He kept the car in one of his spare garages. It sat pretty much all year for about 8 years, and he rarely got it out and drove it.

     I had wanted this car since my junior year. One day after football I took his son home and later that day he asked me to help him move a couple of his dads lawn mowers with my truck and his trailer. We went to the garage and as soon as he opened the door I fell in love. We moved the mowers and went straight back to the garage so I could take a look at it. It was beautiful and to this day it still is. I always wanted a camaro, preferably a '68, but I always knew that was unattainable. I saw this car and knew I could get it. I feel like god truly did bless me with this car. I seriously thank him every time I start it up haha.

     As of now it's winter here in Eaton, snow is everywhere, and so is the salt. The car has never been in any of it. It's mint, it's original, it's cherry :D. The car is pretty much stock all around except for a few modifications I've done to it myself. I bought the car with less than 22,000 miles on it. now I have around 40,000 on it :D. The original tires were still on this thing when I bought them, it was bone stock lol. The day I got it the heater core went out lol. So i bypassed it and kept on driving it. The previous owner handed me 500 bucks to go get it fixed. I bought new tires :D. The original 8 track is also gone, the deadbeat owner dropped in a sweeet cassette player lol (shown in a picture above). I ripped that out and figured I might as well modernize it. I put in a cd player from panasonic, and put 6x9's in the rear and 3 1/2's up front. rockford all around. I wanted 6's but the car was so original that I didnt want to cut any holes. So, it's what I got. The third week I had it, the left tailpipe fell off HAHA. I was ecstatic. seriously. that just meant I got to spend more money. I still live with my parents so at the time justifying spending money on my car was hard to get through to my mom lol. I just told her my exhaust was rusted and that was why it was so loud. 2 weeks later a set of flowmaster 44's went on with the tips to go with it :D. she was pissed but I dont care. It sounds amazing for a 305.

    So thats pretty much my story. I have a crap ton of parts just chillin in my room, waiting on the cold weather to pass. I'm pumped to get her back out, I cant wait to take her top off :D

 

UPDATE 5/26/09: the cam, headers and harmonic balancer are all in :D man she sounds beautiful haha, I might have to start making a kill list lol. I waxed an '03 GT today, and barely smoked a fox body. I need a new clutch bad. i'm pretty sure the original is still in it and the previous owners probably took it out and drove it the way that I do :D. so thats next on the list if I keep it, we'll see. still up for sale, I think 15,000 is resonable... don't you?

 

 

 

 

 

IF ANYONE KNOWS WHERE I CAN FIND L.E.D. TAILLIGHTS FOR MY '81, LET ME KNOW. I'VE BEEN LOOKING ALL OVER AND CANT SEEM TO FIND THEM, I DONT THINK THEY EXIST :(

looks like its in mint condition, nice Z28. I love the gunmetal grey color. as for the LED's, I don't think you should put them on. It would look weird on a older styled car.

It looks like its Mint!!! Very Nice, Very Nice. I know you can get bulbs that are clusters of LED's but I don't think that is what your looking for. Its basically the same as a standard 1157 or 56 but instead of the bulb it is encrusted in LEDs
